This is a question Neighbours

I used to live next door to a pair of elderly naturists, only finding out about their hobby when they bade me a cheerful, saggy 'Hello' while I was 25 feet up a ladder repairing the chimney. Luckily, a bush broke my fall, but the memory of a fat, naked man in an ill-fitting wig will live with me forever.

That is really quite rude.
Do you think that I would jump to that kind of conclusion myself? I'm a fan of logic and deduction; NOT mindless blaming and fingerpointing. If you read the story, she said as much to my friend. Something along the lines of "maybe you and that fucking slag will learn not mess with us". I had previously reported her brother for sexual abuse, the family are pretty big in the area and there is a wall of silence surrounding them in reguards to the police.

You have really annoyed me as I enjoyed reading your posts. I don't know where you grew up but maybe this kind of narrow minded hatefullness is not what you are used to.

I also quite enjoy the fact that a bioethicist can find the time and inclination to call strangers on the internet stupid.
You are intelligent enough to write really funny stories and for that I commend you, but why shit on me from a great height?

I don't see what my profession has to do with anything...

OK - let me rephrase things a touch.
I don't understand why she thought that she was getting at you, nor why you seem to have taken it on board that she was. The clear impression in the OP was that that was how you were both thinking. Your gloss here makes me even more puzzled, because now there's an extra link in the chain - one more person who takes seriously something I find utterly baffling.

I'm really not having a go at you - honestly. (Your grammar is pretty good; that always makes me well-disposed to a person...) And thank you for the nice comment about my posts.

*offers conciliation*

This doesn't make sense, I am aware of that.
To anyone who spends most of their time around more sensible, balanced people and not in an environment where hard crime, unemployment and drugs are rife may see this stories as baffling and laughable. Unemployment leaves people alot of time to think and brood on situations most people simply dont have time to keep thinking about.

The thing is, I put the story on here as an example of a neighbour I had trouble with. The amusing part was supposed the be the sheer idiocy of her trying to make a point by sleeping with someone. If it made complete sense and was a measured and calm response to a childhood rivalry it would make a shit story. I have written a completely true story, unlike many people on this site.

Who is the extra link in the chain?

Weirdo - your friend - you.
Or I could have missed something important. Dunno.

There is no link
Just idiocy. I'll accept the reconciliation, perhaps you may enjoy another QOTW answer I post a bit more than this one, and I'll go on enjoying yours, though maybe not quite as much as I did :)
