I'm sorry you are unable to interpret irony, Carolinett. I'm not sure where you get condescending from - other than your use of the word "sweetie" when talking to me. That's the only condescending remark I can find. I doubt you were using a term of endearment when talking to me given that you mistakenly thought I was insulting you.
I'm also sorry I tried to explain and, in fact, went to great lengths to contact you to try to explain as soon as I saw the misunderstanding. You don't know me at all either and therefore have no idea how mortified I was that you'd misundertood.
Read the again with a sarcastic, tongue in cheek tone of voice and add a on the end. It's so obviously irony - the process I was describing is clearly no more moral than yours!! That was the whole point! How could it be anything other than ironic? Buying an item, copying it and then returning the item whilst lying for the reason is no less Decent, ethical, Honest, Honourable or
Proper than looking at pictures of an item and making a copy.
I'm not going to persue this or beg you to stay. I've explained, I've apologised, I've done this several times by several different means. You don't want to accept my apologie and explanations? Fine, that's your perogative. I hpe you continue to use Mumsnet and participate in the challenges - it woulsd be silly for you to miss out on these things because of a misunderstanding.
