Sure you hit hard at people. And many times it bothers me. But let's face it, insults are are about 50% of the fare here. And I think it's pretty obvious when a line is crossed. I got called on it a few days ago. To suggest that one's parent was a child abuser, I think crosses that line.
P.S. I read "Diary of a Drug Fiend" by Alasteir Crowley, and thought it was pretty good. At least he was a colorful charactor. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 no_reply@ wrote: > > > > >--- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray27" <steve.sundur@> wrote: > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, nablusoss1008 <no_reply@> > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > My understanding, not being a shrink, is that the Turq > > > > has some kind of a brain damage.
