Re: "...so upset"

Hilarious! I'm about the *least* 'excitable' person you will ever know, got some of the lowest blood pressure around. :-) Must be projecting YOUR emotional state onto others! Imagining that everyone gets all worked up and 'upset' over little trivial things like you seem to.

Smile sometime, why don't 'cha? You might LIKE it! :-)

Re: "that he made the irrational comment about my name?"

You mean about your pseudonym? Well, OK, I'll bite... what's supposed to be 'irrational' about the comment????????

-------------------------
Here it is again. I guess this is the 'comment' you are referring to, but you never pointed specifically to anything, so I'm guessing on that:

'PS --- I find it humorous [interesting, instructive, etc.] that you willingly adopt a pseudonym ['tonto'] so replete with sad overtones from a bygone era of racism... while getting your panties all in a bunch, and acting mortified when that same pseudonym is transmogrified by the dropping of just one letter into another well-known cultural referent: a cute little loyal doggie from the movies. What's *that* about, I wonder?'

Seems perfectly 'rational' to me... doesn't mean you have to agree with it, of course, OR find it funny in the least.

Perhaps you can explain what's supposed to be 'irrational' about it though?

Re: "...what a childish and stupid post."

Well, everyone is entitled to their *opinions*, YOU INCLUDED, of course. (Even if you *do* get awfully worked-up about them sometimes. <G>) So, when you state something that is clearly a personal opinion (not an assertion that requires facts not in evidence, or some other not-yet-established claim of facts), I have ABSOLUTELY no problems with that.

It's a largely free world, and you are entitled to your artistic impressions and value judgements, same as everyone else!

Enjoy, I do!
