Yeah, Larry!  It's your fault that Tom is rude and that Daniel wants to fight
him over it.  Shame on you.

Hey, I don't want to fight Tom or anybody, Chris. If Tom feels he can
constantly take a nasty tone with me on-line, that's his choice. It doesn't
impress me. If he says he's this way in person, he's welcome to come try
this act in person with me. I'm not seeking him out for a fight but I'm not
rolling over either. If my fellow LUGNETers want to scold me, I understand.
I agree that it's not the best approach that I am choosing, but a man must
know his limits. I realize I could easily not respond and perhaps that's
what I should have done. However, I am drawing a line on Tom's behavior
toward me. It's his choice, not my deliberate provocation, for him to be
crude and mordacious toward me and he'll only get away with on-line. If he
thinks otherwise, I've invited him to show me.

I was going to post some other drivel (about on the level of the above - actually,
I did post, but I Cancelled it), but I'll just drop it with...

<insert picture of gorilla beating chest here>

<yawn>

And I really will drop it.  If Dan wants to continue to be the 2nd most annoying
person in this group, more power to him.  I'll let him rant away on the Evil US
and how it's destroying the world and Mr. Dan has all the answers until enough
other people get sick enough of it to call him on it.

But that WON'T stop me from calling your ideas idiotic, Dan.  You just need to
separate me calling ideas of yours idiotic or ridiculous from me calling YOU
idiotic or ridiculous.  If you can't do that, that's not my problem, it's yours.

Whatever. I'm not impressed. Learn some manners and treat people with a little dignity. You choose to be rude and insulting on-line, that's your choice. You choose to pigeon hole people in this forum, that's your choice. See where it gets you in (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
