You are right, I did let fly an over-the-top insult laden single post against one individual. I had been provoked for some time by him, but what really insulted me was a statement that wouldn't make your list at all. It wasn't the words, but the meaning. He said quite directly that my blending of certain secularly informed moral views (secular humanism) and my brand of Christianity was intrinsically and basically a fraud. It would be like calling some particular religion not just less than ideal in some respects, but in some deep and fundamental way, fraudulent, a joke. Anyway, my reply was over the top. I did indeed loose my cool. I can't say he didn't deserve some belitting in response, but the way I did it didn't do myself any credit. Do I get to throw out the single outlier? <gg> As unrepresentative? I like to think that the vast majority of my posts avoid insults entirely, unless you want to call a little fun poking and irony insulting. I pass up responding in kind to the vast majority of insults I receive. Also try to post a fair amount of stuff with genuine content. Doug
