Actually, the post that I found objectionable was the following:

And he is amused that karens concern is that he is "sheltered." As karen has discribed the life she has created for her self, I have found her to be the single most sheltered, risk-averse adult that I have ever encountered.


It had nothing to do with Aunty K, or with Mojo, or the discussion, for that matter. You crossed the line with a personal, judgmental comment on K and her personal life, as opposed to commenting on hypotheticals which are created to provoke discussion.

I admit I am surprised to see you calling me names and insulting my intelligence when I have stayed clear of the Mojo discussion almost entirely (thus actually proving my exceptionally high level of intelligence).

She definitely did not show any intellegence regarding the issues. Nor do you but that is another problem.

This is a perfect example. If you want to dump on Rambi for butting in or piling on, those criticisms are within bounds because they directly address her action. But you go on to insult her intelligence. That was gratuitously insulting and demonstrates the flailing and wild lashing out that I have been talking about.
