Well, you can't say I haven't been warned. I do appreciate the sensitivity training. I'll be much the better for it I'm sure. Just curious. I don't see a warning for JohnM despite the fact that he has invited me to leave the forum, he has referred to me as a bully trying to take him out behind the barn, and he has played injured by a comment that he chose to take as a threat which only one other spent bullet, the erstwhile Condor, found "offensive". Why is that? How is it that Condor's reference to me as a neanderthal or his insult to the dutiful soldier not disturbing to someone's sensibilities here? I'm not a tough guy as you put it. I didn't challenge anyone to a fight or question their intelligence. I don't mince words but there are plenty here who fit in that description. It would appear to me that some here are threatened by reasoned discussion and play you to have the offenders removed. By extending disrespect to the moderator I have to presume that you mean, I disagreed with you in the conduct of your official duties. Wow! Be assured that if the pressure is too great from the injured parties, I can handle the banning. You needn't fall on your sword for my benefit. <g>
