Judith, I didn't call Ben a name. I just mentioned he might want to take a look at a particular word while he had his dictionary open, because of what he was espousing could be considered hypocritical. I was only trying to point out his bias for pointing fingers at people when a name is leveled, which I think I accomplished. Maybe a better choice of word to look up would have been "hypocritical" instead of "hypocrite".
