BTguy – Thanks for your post, I feel so much better!! I am not chaplaintzvi, nor do i think a person has to be someone in order to respond. And no, I dont hold all posters by the same standards. I WISH for the same standards, but I don’t expect them. I am a huge advocate of ‘al pi darcho’ and I strongly believe you have proven yourself to be better, so I have come to expect better.
I think (by way of explanation, not to perpetuate this) that he said “talk about weird” cuz you said everyone knows they are weird. The ignorant sounded to me not to be name calling but rather to address your sweeping negative comments about the south (which I have to say blew me away before I even read your other stuff).
So, as I see from your response, you may not have realized that your first post sounded insulting and didn’t understand why his response was so defensive.
But really, I am just glad its over and I am returning you to that great pedestal that holds those posters who try to watch their words and their tone and who try to disagree with civility.
Friends?
