I'm a Preggo Irish Taurus - we tend to be last word kinda people. I would like to clarify, the delusional comment was completely taken out of context. I never called Muppet delusional - I used the word 'if' - and in reality, as I said to them, delusional isn't really an insult. It's just an indication that they aren't facing reality.

Do I get frustrated with theories like this? Absolutely. But it's not like I let them get to me - not really. I can be pretty stubborn and I'm definitely opinionated (my husband doesn't call me his Hermione for nothing), but all in all, it's a television show and a message board... not a political debate and getting emotional over it is just not worthwhile. Trouble is, it's pretty much impossible to indicate any sort of tone over the internet, and I can only speak for myself, but it was never my intent to bully or belittle anyone - I'm sarcastic, and I call people hon, and sweety, and dear... not to be patronizing, but because I worked as a waitress for years and then worked at a day care, so I'm sort of used to it >_>.

The major issue I have is, this isn't the first or even second time this particular person has posted theories like this, and it doesn't seem to matter what anyone says, they just won't accept that they can be incorrect.

Does it really matter in the long run? Not at all - but if Muppet wants people to take him/her (sorry, I'm not sure of their gender!) seriously, then a little humility goes a long way. Otherwise, they're just gonna get ignored, and that's a pretty disappointing experience on forums like this.

Disagreeing with someone doesn't mean you don't like them, or have anything against them. But it does get incredibly aggravating with someone continuously posts theories that just don't add up, and then argues with people about them, as if there's no possible way they could ever be wrong.

My biggest pet peeve, though - and the only reason I continued to debate the issue is that Muppet never provided any answers that were anything but generic "because I said so"''s, but still refused to see anyone else's point of view.

I do realize there are younger people on this thread - that's why I said 'most of us', not all of us, but my view has always been and will always be, if you're old enough to post an opinion, you need to be old enough an mature enough to realize it might not be well received, and that's something you need to handle with grace.

Again, I apologize if I came across as rude or harsh - it's not my intention to ever disrespect anyone... but there does come a time when people need to understand (even me :-D) that they can't always be right.. and having someone disagree with them isn't "bullying" - it's life.
