This is good...I missed it. "Ridicule is the finest tool of wit. I appreciate good ridicule. It is an art form. Brute insults are offensive to my aesthetic sensitivities. I would think you would embrace such a notion. There is a difference between using words and ideas, cleverly, and using them as Apes throw sticks, without thought and attention to detail." (X) Occassionally X becomes very insiteful with self disclosure. Must be that pride thing. I swore off flame wars. It aint easy. I miss dropping into the ole SI pub for some mud sling'n and sabor rattling. I actually see a place for Apes throwing sticks, but the ridicule thing as an artistic tool of wit,...hmmmm...sounds dangerous. I better stand clear.
