Don't you think so? If one is extremely self-controlled and thoughtful, including having good genes and good parenting and a regular spiritual life, having relatively low life stress, and/or having a fundamentally holistic view of people, yes. At this present time, however, any one of us, under enough pressure, can think, behave and speak impulsively and thoughtlessly - and even savagely. Look at how otherwise decent soldiers have behaved in war at times. I never said I approved of Christian's expressing himself in that fashion. But I think a less "parent-like" response (using those loaded terms, "Grow up!,") on your part would IMHO have been more constructive and therefore better. I.e., Christian is responsible for trying to do his best, and so are you and I. The real question for you is, "Did my response to Christian help him to attain more self- and other-respect?" That recognizes that you cannot truly judge Christian but only wish him to act in a more respectful fashion to RitLabs. This is an unfair discussion - I am not bilingual and you are! :) Thanks for your response! -- Take Care, Bob -- Using The Bat! 4.1.1.4 RC1 (BETA) Windows XP 5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.1.3 (RC1) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
