well, Jack...the truth is, I rather agree with YOU...but I have debated guns & NRA with Mick a couple of times before (who knows- I may BE one of the "baying hounds" he is waiting for *grin*) but Mick & I still get along.

The thing is, Mick heats up FAST ...and usually cools down fast... HE could have refrained from that remark...just as you could have tempered your reply.

I am not terribly bashful about having opinions here, but IF I choose to enter a debate/discussion, I intend it to be about substance...not about ME or THEE. I like airing ideas, not displaying my testosterone levels.

(You know, I couldn't even get Martin Gibson to insult me seriously...*grin*)
