   You did make that up. Everyone is different. How many times do I have to   
   say it. Just saying.

   Let's not get personal, but you have a right to file a divorce under

   We got into an argument the other day about something trivial and we   
   exchanged words calling each other names, but one smack across the face   
   changed everything.

   This sounds kind of racist. Are you sure you didn't just make this   
   "trait" theory up? We'll have to demand some data on that conspiracy for   
   later discussion.
