Sellam, Who are you to kick anyone in the ass? It is a matter of

but the one who gets to interpret is the receiver of the comment.
Anyway, Sellam has extended an olive branch to me off list. So between
Sellam
and I, things are cool... for now :^)

First you called his questions a "crap
attitude", then you called
him
lazy, scared, and insecure.
No, I didn't call him "lazy, scared, or insecure". I have every right
to
express disdain at the *sentiment* of his message, which I did. *YOU*
interpreted it as a personal attack. The guy was trying to preserve something
important to him, and you
tried to humiliate him for it. In my book, THAT is a "crap attitude".
I didn't try to humiliate anyone. I consider it a kick in the ass. I
suppose, again, it's a matter of interpretation, and you have a habit
of
defaulting to interpret the worst intentions when I say anything,
because
it seems (from most of the interactions I've had with you) to be in
your
nature to be suspicious and negative. Sad.
