Richard,

I really, truly, feel deeply sorry for your sheltered life.  Seriously.  If you
can't take the phrase I used, your life must be filled with hundreds of
disappointments a day.

I only throw insults when I deem them warranted.  And if you read that statement
properly (i.e., EXACTLY as written, no innuendo), it is not an insult whatsoever.

There really isn't any excuse resorting to offensive language. It is a hobby
folks, if you're talking it so seriously that you feel the need to throw around
insults (yes, I'm referring to everyone now), then maybe, just maybe you should
take a step back and try putting it in perspective.

Unless it is your hobby to throw around insults, in which case please don't do
it here. (speaking as a disappointed LUGNET user)

Richard
