no one i have ever known nor i have ever selected freely and after consideration to become insulted.
If I write:
'The bomber campaign wasn't decisive in determining the out come of WW2.'
And you reply with:
'I find your opinion insulting'
Then you have chosen to be insulted.
When someone bevhaves with pride or arrogance or treats treats another with insolence, indignity, or contempt, they were usually goaded.
Nonsense, did your read Boxboy's original reply to me:
Bruno I have a question for ya.
Why did Stalin DEMAND a second front at Yalta???
If what you espouse is all true he didn't need us at all and could have won the war without us and have "owned" all of Germany alone with no other "allie" to mess with.
The problem with your arguements is that "history" keeps getting in the way.
That reply came out of thin air. I hadn't said one thing to Boxboy before that.
He made snide remarks all on his own after choosing to be insulted by my opinion.
the noun "moron" (a mildly mentally retarded person or a very stupid person) also usually does not aptly describe those i have insulted.
I know what 'moron' means. I chose that word specifically.
Please quote my 'insults'...
also, my parents and grandparents and probably yours put a good deal of store by "civility." my people referred to it as "manners."
I don't care anything about your grandparents or their manners. If you go back and actually read the thread in context you will see that the 'insults' began with Boxboy. Any uncivil behavior that followed is a direct result of his 'poor manners'.
I give you credit for at least in attempting to put out a coherent post even though it fell well short of the mark...
