"Rascal,
I do not believe we can engage in productive dialogue here since you brought my wife and mother into the conversation.
So far my points have whooshed over your head. I suppose that is why you now want to discuss my family.

That will require a personal meeting.

When you are ready to serve America and stop sucking on her be sure to let us know.

In the meantime, you and the broad go ahead and exercise the rights...continue to focus on the real hot issues like Vietnam and dissent.

I am disappointed in your response. I took time to post to you in a way that I hoped would inspire critical thought.
This is not about your family and I apologize if you think I directed any criticism towards them.

I am surprised by the emotion of your response. Perhaps you may change your mind. If you never can then I guess it's a good thing you can't take a swing at me.

Mike,

That post contains a very obvious implication of a threat of physical violence. I'm not the thread manager, as we both know, but, by any standards imaginable, that's unacceptable.

Is it a misinterpretation to so interpret it? If so, you owe an apology to Rascal and a offer of a way to interpret it differently.

If not, then you owe an even more serious apology. And should take your anger to some other place.
