Re: "characterization versus's namecalling" one other thing. I think I consider a negative characterization of someobody as equivalent to name calling. In other words, we don't have to characterize those that are less fortunate than us in the brains department (or any other department) as such in a public manner (we shouldn't in a private manner either, but at least the rest of us wouldn't have to wade through it). That would be "name calling", even if it's true and accruately describes somebody. We can just rest quietly in the knowledge that they are stupid. :) In other words, I don't understand why somebody calling Eric a 3 year old wet behind the ears or somebody calling Monty a Big Hat, or anybody calling anybody else anything need or should be here. Perhaps you see the benefit in such characterizations? Do you enjoy them? Perhaps it's just to liven up the place.... :), but I have no desire to relive elementary school, and it was certainly bring back memories. Perhaps it was complimentary? Somehow I doubt it. :) Or perhaps I've forgotten what characterizations mean? I will state again that I wasn't just refering to your post. It was the 10 or so that came after it that was just back and forth drivel.
