Restraint only works to a point. And, of course, rec.boats isn't real
life Karate.

That has to be one of the most empty responses I have ever read.

Really? Do you think one should always, in all situations use
restraint? Perhaps you should tell all of the policemen and women of
the world that, along with all military persons.

Now, that is some really clear, deep, and incontrovertible logic!

Can you perceive any difference between a physical attack with the
intent of serious bodily injury or death vs. carrying on a verbal
****ing contest far beyond any hope of either side persuading the
other of anything.

Did you happen to see the part I wrote about rec.boats vs. real
life????

After the first exchange or two it carries the same weight as a couple
of 4 year olds throwing sand at each other. If you can't walk away
from that, well, I just don't know.....

Then stop, Gene!

I do hate to kill entire threads when something of value might happen,
but I'm certainly not going to stay in the sandbox with the
children..... and I suspect your readership is dwindling for the same
reason...

I don't come here to garner "readership". so, moot point.
