Message #252 from Jorj X. McKie at Apr 13, 2001 5:07 PM {I wish I had your confidence. My alias on iHub is JXM. If you can find a personal attack by me yesterday, I would appreciate it if you post it here. If I did, I will publicly apologize.} I looked, I saw one or two that in a stretch might be considered questionable, but that's not really the issue. Isn't the real issue ..who decides what is a personal attack, the person that makes the post or the person that recieves the post? You are supremely confident that you make or made no personal attacks, I suggest that perhaps it's like that old story about smelly feet. You can't smell your own unless they are really bad. {And you seem to have handled that person quite well, if you do say so yourself. I am curious, was there any sort of response by other posters to the original insult? If there was, what kind of responses were there? Were there any responses that were equally repugnant in your eyes, and did you take care of them, also? Maybe you left that up to bob, after all you can't be expected to step in in every case can you? So what did he do? I understand that there was a response. I did not click on the link, but I understand that it was offensive. It is not something that I would have done and I do not condone it, but in the context, it turns into a "who drew the first blood" issue for me.} Somehow your response doesn't seem quite right here. Let's walk through this. You say you "understand" there was a response, and then say you didn't click on the link. The link to what? The link to the response or the link that was contained in the response? How did you know that there was a response if you didn't read his post? If you didn't read his post, is there a reason for that? Do you consider the person that made the response not worthy of reading?Do you skip over a lot or all of his posts or was that just the unlucky one. Then you absolve the person for his equally if not worse vulgar response by saying that the other one "drew first blood'. (I like the rationalization!!!!!!!!) Note to self, write that one down for future use in case you need it. Now I understand why the person that made the response is posting today and the other one is not. These things are so easy to understand when they are explained.
