====== mine (screen capture from email only) deleted by lead ======== Scott H • Hale Now you patronize me, Robin W, teach me how you can waste my time. My "qualifications"? Why would someone need qualifications to say "With an appliance that old it would only make sense to at least have it reconditioned (wire insulation can get brittle and disintegrate, for example, and there's newer safety features for gas) and if you had that done I'd think that you would've mentioned that." ? I figure that is a legitimate point no matter who would bring it up. You "ad hominem" me (look it up) and I am a disabled person (under federal law) which is a bit embarrassing for me to mention here - but I do to advocate because you harass! I've been traumatized (too - yes I found your site - no - I don't need a "life coach" - pls just leave me be - that's all) - Oh - in a way it is grandiose of you to insist on my credentials - like it legitimizes your position to only have an indisputable expert to bring up a counterargument. It becomes a kind of gender harassment & I know someone with "qualifications" of like 40 yrs in the human services field and a masters degree with acronyms after it who would back me up on that to help me get charges filed. I am put in a position where I need to defend my reputation (honor) & maybe you be all "haha" why? BECAUSE I HAVE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO CARE ABOUT ME BUT YET HERE YOU ARE TROLLING ME ON NEXTDOOR OF ALL PLACES OVER A STOVE!
