>you idiot
>you fucking idiot
this is not how you establish yourself as the intellectual superior in a conversation. though you're right, i did misread what you originally said.
>it isn't just about ignoring someone initially, that happens all the time. it's about ignoring someone while quoting their work and sending out purposefully conflicting signals.
okay, i see what you mean as far as the quoting being the actual transgression, but no, that isn't a conflicting signal at all. like i said, she liked the poem, not the author.
>if she was really trying to keep "distance" why would she be directly quoting his work with pictures of herself?
because, again, she clearly sees the poem and the author as separate entities. she probably assumed he would never know she was quoting him and it's not like her friends would be aware. someone wrote a poem about her, she liked it, she quotes it. her relationship with OP isn't relevant.
