How to say this without someone's feelings?
Since I was quoting someone in that post whose name we shall call... C. Red.. no, no, that's too obvious, let's say Carmine R., no, no, that won't work either. Well, let's just say they will remain nameless.
So, since I was directing a reply to this quoted person, it's a good bet all statements were applied in answer to this person's inquiring statements.
