I received a P. M +3. and a couple e-mails,yesterday.
Dennis Vogel:
Sorin, there are certain words in the English language that have multiple meanings. That word you selected (and I removed from you post) is one of them.
It is sometimes very hard not to let people get to you. But when we react, they win and we lose.

Dennis, you are quite right, and I know this fact about that certain word. But one of it's meanings is simply 'an unpleasant person'.... and that's the one I had in mind. Now am I saying that he is always 'unpleasant'? No, I don't know him personally, but when you are being wrongfully judged like that by a person, said person is definitely unpleasant at that time. As Dewey clearly was.

Dennis Vogel:
That may be the way you meant the word Sorin, but it sounded the other way to me and most likely others.
If someone attacks you in public then there is nothing wrong in defending yourself in public. But it's nearly impossible to stop it from escalating.
If you have a debate via PM's then it should stay in the PM's, especially if you started it.
You can have the last word then I'm going to lock this thread.

That's fine, everybody is entitled to their own interpretation; this is a "free country" after all. Or at least it should be. ;)

Yes, it most definitely is; nearly impossible to stop it from escalating. I am by no means denying that.

First point, I fully agree. Second point, I did not start this. Dewey did.

Heh.. I don't always agree with the reason behind why some threads are locked; but I do agree with you on this one. It should be locked, and soon forgotten.
Peace,
Sorin
