Thanks for the back up. I do recognize that some things easily set me off, and I'm usually fairly quick to apologize when I've crossed the line. In this case it was not what was said, but how it was said that irked me.

I know some will think that I'm being hypocritical, because recently I called someone a moron and told them to get lost, after they had posted an advertisement for a Christian product on this board. That was a completely different circumstance, imo. I used the word moron deliberately to denote the ignorance and insensitivity that person exhibited by shilling such a product on this board. It is supreme stupidity and insensitivity, imo, to have done that when this chatboard shows a tab very clearly entitled "Rules and Guidelines". How easy would it have been for that person to see that tab and check it out before posting here. The fact that they showed such disrespect warranted my reaction.

In this thread, it's a different issue. The person who disagreed with my take on TF's position on Ricky could have expressed their opinion, which is a very valid one, without denigrating me.
