Imo there is a big difference between telling someone he has his facts amiss and calling him a moron. From where I lounge, E did the first - and in my book that is no insult. It is a call to debate. The second is a debate stopper, y'know?

The subject of the disagreement here is Ronald Reagan, the personal admiration of whom I consider an ominous portent and disgrace to the nation. I have argued my conviction entirely within the bounds of the the normal rules of engagement, even in heated argument, I believe.

If you believe mine is, per se, a position that shouldn't have been uttered, say so. Otherwise, would you show me, please, some instances in which you feel I have overstepped the bounds of decency, and insulted Zoltan and others in a personal, ad hominem, fashion that was a justifying provocation for Zoltan's personal insults?

I would appreciate it, so that I may apologize.

I didn't have any problem controlling my well-known gift for vituperation when E and I were arguing about Reagan. I wonder why her insulting Reagan evokes an emotional reaction in a man of your age and abilities?
