Hey Art. Check this out:


Yeah, another off-topic post. Nice going numbnuts.

And what is it that you've been responding to all over the place? I haven't
noticed that you amended the subject to show "OT" when you gave someone the
finger for an OT posting. People in glass houses......you know how it goes.

I'll usually put an "OT" at the beginning and I don't do it very
often. This guy's posted a slew of political crap that I doubt
anybody cares about.




I used to criticize others for their unmarked OT postings until it became
clear to me that everyone was doing it and that there was little point in my
becoming the NG's politeness protocol nanny other than to make an
objectionable ass of myself. At that point, I gave it up. You might
consider doing the same.

Also, calling people with whom you don't agree names only reflects poorly on
the name caller, not on the callee. It might make you feel better or
superior for the moment, but you pay a price for that.


It's only name calling if it isn't true :-)

Since you don't really know him, you don't know if it's true or not. Why not
give him the benefit of the doubt and walk away looking good instead of like a
smartass.
