People, understandably, intervene on behalf of those for whom they care.

DAVEH:   Which is why I'm chatting with you about this, Lance.

Family members may speak harshly, on occasion, to one another

DAVEH:   I would like to think that fact does not justify its continuation.

These same family members may not permit the same liberty to non-family members

DAVEH:   I've certainly mentioned my observation of a double standard in TT before.   Though I let it justify my subsequent posts, in retrospect I regret having made that justification, as it lowered myself, rather than lifted another....as I think the Lord would preferred.

DM should appreciate you, one whome he apparently sees as a family member, speaking on his behalf.

DAVEH:   I suspect DM appreciates and loves each and every TTer for a variety of reasons, each for perhaps a different reason.  Being the black sheep of TT, I doubt that I really fit into anybody's family here......but I don't think DM would want to exclude me for being different, so to speak.   Though one does not necessarily have to appreciate another, IMHO.....one should respect another.  As you know, that is one of my weaknesses, which I intend to work on during my tenure in TT.  Perhaps we can travel that journey together, Lance.

DAVEH:   FWIW.......While it may be mild, it strikes me as being in the realm of an ad-hom.  And, whether or not it is true......I do no see it as pertinent to whether or not it is an ad-hom.  However Lance......I've made similar errors of judgment in the past, so I probably should not be the one to point out yours.

I draw the line, Dave, where that which is said does not describe the one being spoken to. 'Pompous ass' is pretty mild stuff.

You were simply described.

DAVEH:   Lance, may I ask you where you draw the line on an ad-hom?  Is it possible describing somebody as a pompous ass to ever be an ad-hom in your opinion?

YOU WERE NOT INSULTED, DAVIDM! You were simply described. An _expression_ was employed that is no worse than 'brain fart'. Cool it, oh defensive one!
