Here I am, "Liar Stevie" - my new name, courtesy of Paul Engel Paul, the post you refer to has this significant portion: <<But here is a proposal, since you definitely have something wrong in the mental cabinet, why don't you pour yourself your favorite drink, watch some TV, screw your wife, but do something else than spend every night of your life writing shit on SI. Hmm, maybe a hobby like model ship building will help you.>> I guess you read the above paragraph as "vulgar". It must have really offended you. If so maybe I was too "rough" with my language. Sorry about that. I didn't realize you were that sensitive. But I think that considering the rudeness in your posts to me and others on this thread in general, this "vulgarity" is pretty tame stuff. If you really must know, I merely meant to toy with you in an unflattering way. I would hardly call it "vulgar". Kind of a put down more than anything else. But I should point out that your posts to people that you don't like or agree with are rude, nasty, tasteless and well - you call people names. Actually, that is the main reason why I wrote the above so called "vulgar " paragraph. After I wrote that I received private messages from "lurkers" saying how hilarious it was. Hilarious - not vulgar! They even congratulated me. I was quite flattered. But anyway, what has been done has been done. So, if you refrain from calling me names in the future, treat me rudely or even if you treat other people in a distasteful fashion, I won't be tempted to write an "unflattering" paragraph about you. Is it a deal or what? Or do I have to sip from the "Intel cup" first? Steven
