Calling someone sanctimonious doesn't count as name-calling or insult when you do it?

But if I respond after your post in kind, I'm suddenly the bad one?



So I guess you missed the part where Lori called me an idiot? Then she said I made her call me names? And that is why I asked if she were five? And you are getting after me about calling Lori five, but that's okay for her to call me an idiot in your book?

Thanks, 'Zig, that's good to know about you <vbg>

So I guess it's not offensive to you for some down here to hurl insults at people (idiot, ****, stupid, etc) - it's just not right when the recipients start returning the fire? <vbg>

I no longer feel compelled to always ignore the rude crap some of the bullies down here fling around on a regular basis. Sorry. If you can't debate politics "like an adult", as Simon likes to say, and have to resort to discussing the poster and their intelligence, etc, expect to get it back in one's face. Judging by my private messages today and yesterday, that isn't a minority opinion at all <g>

ok, like i said, i don't care if you call people names, or if anyone else does-if anyone chooses to do that, it's their business. what i was trying to explain to you was that as soon as you think someone has insulted YOU, you go on and on about it. but when you return the favor, you find a way to justify it. that's why i said you're a hypocrite about it.

as for pm's, i'm sure they're sent that way for a reason. it's why i don't bother bringing them up, since they have nothing to do with a public discussion. if people don't wish to post here, that's their choice.

and as for me saying something you posted was sanctimonious crap, i was talking about the comment itself, not the poster. you can take that as you will, i don't care. people have taken me to task in the past for things i said, generally i consider what they say-as they may just have a point.
