As a matter of fact, if you hadn't have posted, the odds are pretty good that nothing much would have happened. Izzytheputz used your post as a springboard to inferentially accuse me of prejudice against the English. He only had the opening because you provided it.
Now trot out your idiotic eating popcorn "gif" image.
My intention was not to provide izzy an opening to do anything. At that point I
did feel sad about the two of you slugging it out. Also, the odds are pretty good that you and izzy will have another spat very soon in another thread. In fact, I would be very surprised if it
doesn't happen. It seems inevitable to me. And when it does happen again, I will remember to stay clear of it and not try to be a peacemaker or have any involvement of any kind.
You seem to be bitter at me. I have no idea why you would be angry with me. I have never deliberately insulted you personally. We've even shared a few laughs together. No, in deference to you, I will
not "trot out" the "idiotic eating popcorn 'gif' image." I will never use it again in your presence. On those few occasions when I did use it, I assumed that you, too, thought it was funny. I'm choosing to do this not because you're able to push me around (which would be mighty hard to do amongst all the dancing electrons), but because I want you to calm down. Furthermore, I shall avoid any involvement in future controversies you may have with other members.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner.
But I'm not being subservient. There's nothing important here to fight about, anyway.
Honestly, I'm at a loss for words here. As I recall, even Siskel and Ebert would sometimes get into intense arguments with each other.
