////Bruce is saying that what wronger does is not wrong. But he is saying that responding in kind is wrong.////

Thanks, I know that and I'm saying that two wrongs don't make a right. If he can defend what he's saying then he should defend it instead of responding in the same wrong fashion that he was attacked with. If he can't do that then he cannot defend his position and that calls into question the idea that he is one of mudcat's few original thinkers. He sounds more like one of mudcat's many foamers-at-the-mouth when confronted with ideas and thoughts that he can't process or tolerate because they run counter to his own. Mudcat has enough of those and too many of them get free passes because other posters seem to regard them highly for no fair reason accept they agree with that person's attitude regardless of how puerile it may be.
