OK. I don't think we will see eye to here. Apparently you consider behaviour legitimate and acceptable that I do not. So be it. Damn it, Laz. I don't consider any of it acceptable. That you should say I do, I'm taking that one as an insult. I'm not excusing anything, just trying to characterize the behavior responsibly. If some punk sticks up a convenience store, you don't charge him with murder, you charge him with armed robbery. It's not murder unless there's a body. Calling it murder because you believe the punk to be an all-around sleezeball doesn't make it murder. It just gets you sued.

Apparently you consider behaviour legitimate and acceptable that I do not. Even I'm not dense enough to think that she means that, and I'm trying to find all the benefit in her posts that I can (without going overboard and ticking her off even worse, which I've gotten close to but hopefully not crossed the line of yet.) But even I know she doesn't consider my behavior legitimate and acceptable. If I can't see that, I'm amazed that you seem to. She just acknowledges, if I get her point, that there is not yet enough evidence to toss me in jail and throw away the key, which I think she sees you as arguing for. Purgatory, but not Inferno.
