Subject: RE: In the UK......? (thread title change complain
calling a cat a dog does not make it a dog. Denying that a cat is a cat doesn't make it a dog either. And that thread was indeed a song challenge.
MMario - your personal judgement is not going to be helpful - is it really intended to be?
Perhaps you will will tell me that in your judgement - my perception that the change was imposed upon the title of my thread without my knowledge or permission is also mistaken?
Perhaps you will also tell me that in your judgement that it is now perfectly acceptable for Joe Offer to publicly call fellow poster's abusive names like idiot and asshole - merely because they may express on our forum - a personal view that is contrary to his personal view?
Careful, Shambles. I did not call anyone names, although I did indicate that people who engaged in certain conduct might be considered such. And your frequently-quoted "pain-in-the-ass" citation referred to a person without a name, a person who preferred to be judged by actions - actions which were clearly troublesome and provocative. No doubt you will stretch and misapply my words as you so often do, but let it be noted that I named no names. I refer to conduct, not to persons. If a person's conduct fits the description, then the reader can draw his or her own conclusion. -Joe Offer-
