Spaceman Spiff?? Ah, Calvin & Hobbes...[gets dewy-eyed] But what happened to Roger Ramjet?
Anyway, I thought that particular <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> smiley was supposed to suggest surprise or confusion, not a wink like the smiley. Correct me if I'm wrong....</strong><hr></blockquote>
I was responding to what you said not the emoticon.
As for roger_ramjet, he'll be back. spaceman_spiff is my fourth user name I've used on these boards. (My first one wasn't at all imaginative.) I miss Calvin & Hobbes too. It's fun playing around with images of him.
I was referring to the over-heated, name-calling tone of your recent posts - I already knew that we don't see eye to eye on some issues...</strong><hr></blockquote>
Right, except I didn't call you any names. Someone in this thread called me a name but you didn't have a problem with that.

I said you had a choice. You could either be fair or be a sycophant. Sycophants doin't worry about being fair. What's more if you have a problem with that, why didn't you have a problem when solo called me a crackhead? Oh I know! He was attacking me. I guess that automatically means it wasn't a tantrum! Not only didn't you have a problem with it you endorsed what he said. You had plenty of time to back away from that remark but you didn?t.

Look, I'm not keeping track of exactly who said what to who. You obviously are. But yes, you're right, it was a little inconsistent of me to accuse you of name-calling when I endorsed solo's post. You obviously know that I was endorsing the rest of his/ her statement, not that particular adjective, which is admittedly somewhat intemperate. And if you're so bothered about solo's jibe, why aren't you demanding an apology from him/ her? What's the point of bitching to me about it?

I only brought it up because of the noise you started giving me. Back when he first posted I addressed other aspects of his post. I don't even know why you thought what he said was so on target. He was intending to refute me but he actually strengthened the point I was making.

Okay, a slightly belated reply:-
Look, I'm not keeping track of exactly who said what to who. You obviously are. But yes, you're right, it was a little inconsistent of me to accuse you of name-calling when I endorsed solo's post. You obviously know that I was endorsing the rest of his/ her statement, not that particular adjective, which is admittedly somewhat intemperate.
