I see what you mean. Physical solutions are not my thing. I was hoping that
my statement would be a reality check of sorts. Either way, his crude
behavior toward me will remain on-line as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, I always welcome Tom's input and I don't think I've ever criticized or
condemned his views. I am disgusted with his approach toward me, that's all.

Yes, I apologize. I know I could have ignored him entirely. However,
patience has it's limits especially when someone feels insults are
acceptable, not that he hurt my feelings in any way. I am more disgusted
that he thinks he can get away with it. So, I reminded him of his limits
with me. It's his choice if he wants to test those limits. I'm not seeking
him out.
