Ok, so, I’m confused. I don’t read any criers or anyone assuming anything about affiliation or lack of it. That’s just not here as far as I can see. Where are “we” engaging other than here and referring to in this forum? And it is, indeed, all about the pronouns, isn’t it? That and who thinks who is “we,” one of those tricky collective pronouns. Yea, a lot of folks just don’t get it and how to use those testy pronouns in order to be understood, though a lot of folks seem to have mastered using them to avoid being understood. Personally, I go by she, her and ya’ll. You?
