I jumped on the band wagon (in a rather inane way, I must admit) to taunt you - you, not your mother. I had decided that night that I was going to quit the forum because I was so sick and disgusted of the vitriole, and I thought I'd have fun just letting loose with you. I decided to let er rip and just egg you on like I'd never done before. In retrospect, it was not such a great idea - at least it wasn't very artful. But, insulting your mother - that is one giant load of bull @hit. It's all there. I didn't delete or edit any of my posts like you did. Show me one thing that I said that could be taken as an insult to your mother. Jolly, that's a challenge to you too, since this is about the third time you've posted that I insulted Larry's mother.


You did insult her, whether you'd like to hide behind the semantics of legalism, or not.

Was Larry wrong about who was giving his mother an award? Sure was.

Now, tell me what difference that made in your life. You don't know the lady, have never met her, and she does not participate in these fora, so what you know about her comes from what her son writes. In this case, what he wrote was wrong on some aspects of the facts, but you assumed it was a malicious misrepresentation rather than an honest mistake.

Explain to me why you just didn't take a break from putting everything people say under a microscope, and just be happy the lady was being honored, or just ignore an opportunity for once?

Nah, you had your sword out, and as long as the chosen one got skewered to Hell with anybody's feelings. So yes, I think you indirectly insulted her.

Look at the bright side...you can talk about me all you want, but if you'd taken a shot at my Mom - even indirectly -you'd have been looking at me face-to-face within a short period of time.

And I promise you, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience.

So...a word of advice...those of us who participate here are fair game. We know the rules going in, and it can certainly get rowdy. But don't ever, ever talk about somebody's mom in a derogatory fashion, even indirectly.

I don't know what it's like up in Yankeeland, but down here that's a mortal sin.
