You and I have exchanged barbs many times on this newsgroup and disagree about many things. One thing I didn't realize however is how you apparently take some of my comments to heart. Believe it or not most of them are intended to be light-hearted but I now realize you may be taking them personally and seriously. Maybe it's the other than the 'most' that might cause some hard feelings. It has never been my intent to cause you any anxiety or to make you uncomfortable in a lasting way. If I have, please accept my sincere apology. Does this refer to 'most' of the time? I enjoy lively debates and sometimes can get a little caustic. It's nothing personal. It's the debate. Those comments were directed to Scott. Not you. They appear pretty public. Forgot to ask, do debates cause you to personal attacks? Occasionally in response to being called an asshole or the "**** you" that comes along sometimes. Also when comments are taken totally out of context or simply falsely stated or attributed. Why do you ask? Why did you ask what year I retired? I think you and I both entered the military at about the same year give or take. I had some thoughts on what race relations were like at the time but changed my mind about expressing them here. I asked because there has been a notable change in your behavior lately. You've gone from very respectable to very Toadish, in my opinion. But, as you say, if I don't like it, "Tough ****." I try (not always successfully) to treat people with the same degree of respect that they afford me. In fact, sometimes I've been accused of being too respectful. Your comment regarding Harry (above) is along those lines. The group in general has taken it upon themselves to condemn him and, it seems, anyone else who is willing to discuss anything with him. Some people here try to control who can be addressed and who should not, according to *their* relationship with others. I don't go for that. You've tried to carry on discussions with Harry and he doesn't seem to want to play along. You can't even get him to talk seriously about his passions. Tell me you haven't noticed. I have little interest in Harry's passions. Politics is his passion. ;-) |
