First, the reasonable rebuttal:

I believe I made it fairly clear from my original post that I didn't put too much faith in these things. From the responses -- up until yours -- I get the impression everyone else got that.

Now, I can't imagine where the personal attack came from. But I am starting to suspect that your ex and, who was it, her brother? might have had very good reasons for hitting you. If you in person are anything like you've been around here lately, I would be surprised if a lot of people didn't want to hit you.

That's it for me reading you.
