Curbstone,

I understand that my ad hominen attack on JS makes me look bi-polar. Since I am not prone to ad hominen attacks I ask that you trust this one was at least thoughtful.

I skipped a grade when I was in primary school. For many years I was younger, smaller and smarter than most of my classmates. Kids being kids, this left me the target of the school bullies. I suffered at the hands of the bullies for a few years. One day I decided that enough was enough. As the leader of the bullies was picking on me as I walked across the schoolyard I reached back, plowed him the face and broke his nose. It was the last time I had an issue with the bullies and I never had to resort to playing their game at their level again.

I learned that self-respect is a complex thing. I have watched JS spit hateful bile on people I like and respect for two years. Enough is enough. My post to him this morning was my cyber-limited attempt to punch him in the nose with the same hateful bile he uses.

The message is, "This far ... and no further". I neither regret nor apologize my attack. I dont tolerate bullies in the physical world and I won't tolerate them in the cyberworld.

Paul
