When I sign "sincerely" and with all my names, I am really furious

I regret not having had the time to answer your previous message. I am extremely busy in my private life, and my attention has been distracted by the death of Trine Michelsen. However, this message suggests that disagreeing with you on national health - a matter on which I know more than you do - is a sin to be atoned. I suggest you rethink your categories. BTW, the person I commented on in my last short post was not you. And his arguments were even worse. I also suggest you lose the pious-sounding passive-aggressive mannerisms; they are neither becoming nor convincing.

Sincerely,
Fabio Paolo Edoardo Vigilio Barbieri

You still have anger issues. *Sighs*

'scuse me, I am not the one who defriended and banned someone for disagreeing with him on politics. And who did so in such an oily, insincere manner. Don't you think it's legitimate to get angry at that sort of treatment?

Totally o/t, but I absolutely love saying your full name out loud.

If that pleases you, I could have added my Mother's name, Spanish fashion - Fabio Paolo Edoardo Vigilio Barbieri-Fanelli. And "Lauren Garrett" isn't bad either - do you have any more that I don't know about?

Well, my middle name is "Amanda," although the vocalization of my own name is very angular and rigid in its sound to me. Yours is much more fluid, which I like, and the Spanish addition is the icing on the cake!

You have to understand that, to me, the American West is one of the greatest matters of romance in the world. I grew up with Italian western comics as well as John Wayne and Henry Fonda movies, and was writing cod-Western stories by the time I was ten. Miss Lauren A.Garrett, half Shoshone Indian to boot... remember, everyone is someone else's legend.

One of my professors as an undergraduate was from Russia, and was a huge fan of Western novels—so much so that he apparently learnt a lot of his English from them. He would point at a Bessel function on the board and say, "Now, the Fourier transform of this bastard..."

I think he felt he was being very colloquial!

I am glad there is something attractive about me, even if it is only the name.

And on the original matter, what made it particularly infuriating is that he did not allow me to respond in private. People who do that should realize - I smply slap the lot on my blog and make it public.

Wow. And I thought my ex-wife was adept at passive-aggressive.

I can understand why you're in a "sincerely" mood over it.

p.s.

You have a cool full name.

Passive Aggressive?

"I also suggest you lose the pious-sounding passive-aggressive mannerisms; they are neither becoming nor convincing."

I was trying to be polite. It is difficult for me to be polite to a rude and illogical man. To have my courtesy answered with discourtesy makes it more difficult. Once again, you ascribe to me a bad motive, rather than taking at my word.

"BTW, the person I commented on in my last short post was not you."

Alas. I apologize for acting in haste. I am sorry for this.

Asking you to pray for me is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. You have answered me with scorn. I address you with respect, and you call me a liar. Perhaps we have said enough to each other.

I hope in your heart you will forgive me. For myself, I will try to do the same for you.
