- Interesting that you consider a post that was widely viewed as offensive
- (judging from the number of follow ups and from the volume of my email)
- as merely an offhand post.
-
- I didn't feel that I needed to know anything *else* about him since it was
- his post that I was flaming. I flamed only the words he actually wrote, I did
- not make any assumptions about him. I called him a bozo based soley on
- the offensiveness of his words.
-
- Now, my question to you is, am I am being flamed? I couldn't tell because
- your reasoning was so illogical.

- >>darn well please!
-
- >And?
-
- I think you must have reading comprehension problems. What was there about
- my post that you did not understand? The only word you seemed to get was
- 'bozo'.
