In the time line. In a general discussion of restricted threads you had stated your rules. That exchange was light to me. (In the background was Poet poop diagreement) How would this Engineer think. By the numbers. You had prebanned except for a ridicule token liberal. Into this comes a comment.. Hey I was not banned to you I think. So why was foxette not banned Foxette you are a nobody so you were not banned. An insulting way to say you were not known a nobody. I did not think that was nice. And I had not considered her a liberal. So being female and having a name foxette, I assumed this was a self assured person. And I had no indication she was an airhead. So token airhead just seemed such a natural simple way to make fun of your thread thinking and tweak this newcomer. A test of mettle. I'm seeing you defend poet and the airhead. At this current point in time the mixed responce and their timing put the token airhead comment in a totally new light and indeed a token airhead would be offended by being called token airhead. Then act just like an airhead. I do not apologize to those I hold in little regard because I offended them because I held the in the highest regard. Every dialog is a test. If a person flunks the test they don't deserve an apology. So then my rule is, if I hit a nerve by truth, I cannot apologize. That is a gift. Not on the GWB thread for following my rules of hard knocks. I use an honest and complex set of rules of discretion. You also do. We disagree. But now I have food to have fun with you LOL... Mr. Allen, my hero and defender of the damsels. I have been completely consistant with my rules of honor and honesty. I don't apologize for that. A self assured person survives by learning from the tests of hard knocks. So I did foxette a favor, I hope she learned that if one is offended/insulted, believes someone has heaped garbage upon her, she should tell him directly. Now hours later saying... you were wrong twice... I was insulted. LOL... has a lot of air in it. Only you and the fox know the timing of PM and responce to indignation. That timing is at worse, looks very, hmmm full of air and at best changes nothing. My aside PM's with bill? would only reveal. I was dumbfounded by your reply and figured you misread my intent and my clear expression of my former high regard for the foxette the airhead. Foxette has lost my benefit of the doubt that she is not an airhead. Only an airhead never figures out that timing is everything.
