PZRITE: YEAH, WAY UP THERE- CAN YOU HEAR ME? ;] If I saw an image that really offended me, you know, I would probably shake my head, and wonder at some people, but other than that- do nothing. Unless it was in a sufficient context to actually presage the possibility that it implies action- I saw once where someone had painted an intersection sign to look like a shwastika- I immediately went to the nearby Jewish Community Center (they have a great gym) and told them. They unpainteed it. I have a teendency to jump to conclusions at times- when I first started posting here, I got into it in a minor way with Legume. I realised, however, that I was hitting people over the head with my standards, which doesn't work. During that, Legume was never once rude, and I have come to see him as intelligent, posessing of an odd view, and somewhat likely to go off when virulently attacked (like who isn't.) RonKnighs, for deity-of-your-choice's sake, chill. So you got an IM that was rude- that doesn't mean you have to go into a sustained fit. You're only going to wear yourself out, and not accomplish anything, other than to make people cringe when they see your name in a thread. I'm not saying this to be hateful, though you may take it that way- I just like you alot better when you make sense. Your constant attacks on Legume are getting ridiculous. If you are after something, say it! What do you want from this situation? You seem to be very skilled at walking into a conversation and inciting people as much as possible, merely for the purpose of turning it into what you percieve as a personal attack against you. This then gives you the right to lash out in whatever manner in your "defense". However, that's kind of like stepping into the road and fighting the cars because they tried to run you over. Well, duh!
