Why is it not ok to have moods? Or, to dislike some positions, or personalities so intensely as to mock them. Can you express your disrespect for something you don't respect in a mocking, hostile, and supercilious manner to someone who you feel is provoking wild responses; While, showing respect to an opposing position held by someone asking for respectful dialog on a topic. Is there anything wrong with being the bad X when you feel like it and Ms. Goody Two-shoes when you feel like it. IMO it is not hypocrisy unless you are condemning a certain kind of behavior or preaching a certain type. To my recollection, X has a "to each her own" philosophy when it comes to SI discussion.

I wonder if kholt will come by and chastise you for disrupting the harmony of the thread.

must have hit a nerve
or several

We were discussing consideration
I don't believe I ever said much about me being the poster child for it
I said what I prefer
which is not to name call, I continue to prefer that, it is merely hard to do when other people begin to sling mud
as you have just done at me
thanks for illustrating in one post, what can be a bit ugly about that
I do appreciate it
and I will probably continue to ignore you
until I feel you are behaving in a way which would make me want to talk to you
