Dwight, Vaughn and Who,Me remain in the penalty box for this childish behaviour however. Ok. That is your opinion. However, when StockMan was slinging his insults around, you seemed pretty happy..."ordinarily I wouldn't be very happy to see him, but since he's on our side..." He lost. Get over it already. I had several choices, since he wouldn't stop with the 4 hour one-way mud-slinging at me: 1) Retreat off the thread, i.e. "get lost", which he wanted me to do because he thought I was an "IDIOT". 2) Ignore his posts., which I did for awhile. But when you indicated that you were cheering him on, which meant that others were not ignoring his post, I would have looked the chump to sit and take his abuse. 3) Join him in his childish mud-slinging, and get into it with him in a very childish way. 4) Ask him to take it private to my face, which I did, which he declined. 5) Turn him in to SI. I decided the 5th alternative would be the best for everyone. I still believe it was. He wanted to get abusive, so he had to pay the price. As for "everyone has violated the rules": Nobody has went over the top so grossly has did Stockman. It's time to stop using the "everyone does it" defense, because obviously not everyone has went over the top so grossly as did StockMan.
