way with words. Sweet Insults.
*chop* Insults... its all in your brain. Anyway thanks for the compliment. One should never defeat someone with style when one can do it with substance.
*I hope* from the next time we treat each other with more respect
"sonny boy" does not sound very respectful... but then maybe it is my brain. I do not know you at all to respect or disrespect you. As a unknown person I absolutely have no need nor reason to disrespect or insult /you/ personally.
- and respect each others opinions too.
Which I do not agree to. I will absolutely not mind you kicking my opinion's ass. But do it impersonally. That is why I am here - to learn and see other opinions. But just because someone has a different opinion dosent naturally make it a good opinion. We have to defend ours while keeping an open mind about others. That is the whole point of discussions /arguments. I personally dont try to be "nice" about things I do not agree to (with reasoning, ofcourse) - maybe that is the bad side effect of hanging out at c.l.l. '-)
Some differences will naturally remain unresolved... but then every fingerprint is different.
Having said the above, I agree that different people will have different opinions. And if you have read my post at all you will notice that the bottom line of most of them was about allowing others their right to opinion (dosent have anything to do with respect - you /have/ to accept other's right to opinion even if you utterly disagree to that opinion). What you may have considered bad ass attitude was sarcasm due to some of the big brothers on this list starting to have a heavier hand then to my liking for a public forum (here I assume this is a public forum). eg. Line wrapping issue and the threat to auto wrap at the list server.
