ot I'm only concerned with what the poster knew. I am positing that the poster likely was using the term as its meaning and origin are understood: to wit, loosely, 'go fly a kite.' Hardly an SI violation in response to Tim's silly silliness grade school taunting. How can you presume to know the mind of the poster as using this term far different than it is generally understood to mean? Since your theory is one of connotation the burden falls on you to prove usage was outside the explicit generally known meaning not vice-versa. What makes you think anyone has the interest to take issue with all* the insensitive statements made on this thread* That’s my point, there is usually a hierarchy to the level of insensitivity, as you call it. It helps to place things on a scale to determine what is worth responding to. That’s why I was kind of surprised at your selection. Given the sequence of your posts, it would be nigh impossible for you to have missed the numerous exchanges regarding Tim May's whack the gold-digging bitch post (hereinafter 'butcher bitch' post). But you don't actually deny this nor that you have more than one alias. Best Regards, RO
