Who is the moron? ... Up to you to decide, my point was, I showed deference to the subject by engaging him in an exchange of ideas... He started with the insults, hence I responded in kind, i.e. my deleted responses. At that point my objective was to ridicule him. (I could send what I saved, via PM for obvious reasons, if you so wish), as a prelude, I will say, that I received a PM myself indicating to me that the subject was a____ ____ . and another one in which they were laughing loudly.... Again... if you choose to start to insult, then my philosophy is that you have opened yourself to my response, I do need to measure such response, I shall respond as I see fit. Obviously you are free to decide who is the moron, it is fine by me either way. To me the nomination is obvious.... in the end it is my opinion that counts (for me).... the rest is decoration and formalities. Like bureaucracy, somehow irrelevant. <g> no offense intended.

Cheeky... Here is more material for you to decide..... (from this AM). A clear "provoking" post. Message 9483910 My response... Message 9486182 and the ungluing of the hen begins.... Once again.... "provoking" is the key. Message 9486870 But I did promised.... so.... Message 9486936 And now, the ungluing really becomes obvious.... Message 9487134 Ho, ho, ho, ho.... I had no idea that "pointing out bad English to a native speaker [of the language]" would be considered... "bigotry and prejudice" btw.... Do they speak English in Chicago...? <g> Oh yes, lately my knowledge of Grammar has not been the best... Is Chicago part of the US ? <GG> _____________ Edit: Oops... I meant Geography, not Grammar. <GGG>
