>>I took time to post to you in a way that I hoped would inspire critical thought.<< What you posted was a deeply personal and deeply offensive insult. Not just to Uncle West, but to his family. Since when did we start insulting people's families or speculating on their behavior with their families around here? Maybe John thinks you handled that really well, but I think you ought to look at it again and imagine yourself on the receiving end. I'm no innocent angel when it comes to making snide remarks or getting a little dig in here and there, but I think you crossed a line you shouldn't have. And I think it was perfectly fair and reasonable for unclewest to evince his displeasure in response. I can't imagine who wouldn't have been motivated to come back with something pretty harsh.
