Pinkie, Cl-asylee and I BOTH got our GC's, so it has nothing to do with my "disposition" changing once I got a GC. Absolutely NOTHING. I answered your questions in another thread when I already had my GC; where did you get that feeling that I dismissed your question to suggest I have a different disposition due to having a GC? He and I have been on this board long enough for me to know that he had read many things on this subject which is why I was surprised that he was confused about the topic to make a thread. Let me clarify to you: you and many new members ask questions that are obvious to others, and in no way in them do I say "I am surprised Pinkie you did not know this" but when Cl-asylee or Want or other longtime members ask something, i may be genuinely surprised why they are asking it. There IS a difference there ,so don't put yourself in Cl-asylee's shoes becaue you are not in the same shoes. You are new here; he is not. Your question will not make me scratch my head, but his might. And I expressed that surprise by saying I thought he knew that and GENUINELY asked what his confusion was. If I were going to dismiss his question, I would not have answered the question at all and if you cared to read my replies they were ANSWERING his question. And how did I personally attack him? do tell. Personal attack is insulting someone personally. And last time I checked *I* was the one dismissed by reducing my HELP (yes, by answering questions we are all helping each other here) to a "bla blah". Of course I said what I said strongly because it is a clear cut answer,so the gist of what I said was a clear cut "do not listen to other stories. Do not apply early", but in nowhere in my replies did I disrespect him like he did to me, so refrain from lecturing me on how to respect others. Just because I said I was confused why he was confused and then went on to say "do not believe those stories. The law is crystal clear. It makes more sense to believe the law" , that is NOT insulting anyone; that IS answering their question.
Pinkie, you seemed to have read way into what I wrote maybe because I had previously rubbed you in the wrong way for God knows what or maybe you feel that someone will say to you "but Pinkie, didn't you know this?" in the future and your ego will take it as if that person is dismissing you, so in that case I suggest you take a question like that at face value instead of reading a malicious intent like "dismissal" into it. My posts answered his question and were about this topic, period, so to answer me with a "blah blah" when I tried to help IS rude, and my posts did NOT call for it. And furthermore, it was unnecesary for you to tell me that not everyone knows everything because if you checked my previous replies I replied over and over again the same questions new members have asked , and few members bother doing it, so it is very unfair to me for you to suggest that I dismiss people's questions because I assume everyone should know everything about immigration. On the contrary, I am one of the few members on this board who consistently answer new members' questions eventhough I may have answered the same question ten times before while there are other members who just say "do a search". Your assumption about me is not fair on me.
Cl-Asylee, if you felt I was dismissing you; if that is the feeling that you got, I wish you expressed that better than saying a childish "blah blah" and a second "blah blah" after I expressed how rude a reply it was. That way it would not turn into an argument.
Thank you Singh.
