You are right about smirk--it was a poor choice of
words, and if Gene had used smile or grin he wouldn't
have been misunderstood. But I understand that
sometimes we can't always think of the right word. I
misunderstood him, too, at first, because of the
smirk, but from what I've known of him based on his
previous posts, the cruelty didn't seem to fit him, so
I decided not to say anaything right away. When he
mentioned that he was reacting to what Lissi said and
about the song, I understood. smile
