Your posts are frequently general and insulting
attacks on America and just about anything having to
do with it and it's people - though you occasionally
make them specific. You have a tremendous amount of
gall to show your surprise towards me at finally
responding in kind. Using your little winking smileys
at the end of a particularly scathing remark (as well
as feigned ignorance) as your childish 'invisible
force field' is a cowardly cop out. Were I you, I
wouldn't tout the rules of Brin-L so loudly knowing
that I stomp on the spirit of the rules but skillfully
skirt the letter.
fyi- I had the decency to insult you directly and
specifically. Largely, I did it to make a point. I
made it, so there is no need for me to do it again.
dean
to prevent further disruption of the list, i'm not
going to reply back to any replies you or anyone else
makes to this. You wanted an answer, you got it.
