n fairness, I have not been reading every word of this little colloquy between you and
JLA, but I haven't seen any argument that would warrant your charge.
Sometimes, in the heat of a flame war (pun intended!), people wind up going overboard and saying things they wouldn't have said if they were thinking carefully and not responding with their base, gut instincts.
Or so I've been told. I have no personal experience of that, of course!
Anyhow, I suspect Poet may just have stuck that in more or less casually in the middle of the flame war. And now, properly IMO, it has become a separate issue, and growing into something much more than she ever intended. (After all, had she simply called him a poo-head I doubt anybody would have called her on proving what kind of poo his head was actually constructed of.)
I also suspect that in the calmer aftermath she regrets having said it, but can't find a graceful way out, and she'll be damned if she'll withdraw or apologize for it now because, after all, her pride is at stake.
Again, I have no personal knowledge of any of this. But I hear this is what sometimes happens in flame wars. |
