Insults are insults. I guess to apply an adjective depends on the
perception. I've seen people insulted at the infantile level, and I've seen
them insulted on a level so high that they didn't even know they were insulted.
> Whaen are they ever required?
They are never required in my mind. I do tend to throw a few around with my
friends in a joking manner. And yes, I do expect them to return in kind -
it's our sense of humor.

I try to take the constructive approach in my posts. I'm not always
successful as you could see by digging around a bit, but that's just being
human. My impression is that you aren't taking any responsibility in the
matter at all. If you want to stick up for yourself, don't talk about
someone else. That just makes it look like you are pointing the finger at
someone else and that it's "their fault".

I've probably said more than I should have on this subject. Don't look for
me to respond as I don't want to take it down to a personal level. Like I
said, I've probably gone too far already....
