Re: D. Hockney
I just looked up "messing with" on UrbanDictionary.com and these were the results:
Playing/Joking around with another. Playing tricks or jokes. Horseplay. Misconduct. Deliberate wrong doing. To waste time by engaging in aimless activity.
I believe your assertion is incorrect, as I was not "joking." A joke requires a punch line, and there was no punch line delivered. Horseplay is physical, and this was done through the internet. I was not engaging in misconduct, doing anything wrong, or wasting time.
