You just come off as a glib smartass at times, so tit for tat, eh? The
list is the list. People act differently here. I just can't stand the
displays of stupidity that sometimes make an appearance here, and
occasionally feel compelled to point it out, but oh well. I don't hold
that against anyone in the "real" world. Well, except for one certain
individual who seriously crossed the line several times, and who passed by
my table at a recent ham fest giving me pause to consider whether I should
get up and kick his pasty white ass. I just called him a "dork" out of
earshot instead :)
As for the language, I've always thought that if
you wouldn't say it
in the boardroom or in front of a reporter, you shouldn't say it on a
mailing list.
In that case I'm covered.
P.S. If, as an adult, you still think words are "dirty" then you still
have maturing to do. Think about it. My opinion. Accept it as that and
move on.
