Sorry Kicky... last one, I promise.

Fresh insults are a sorry substitute for the apology you owe me.

I'm flattered that you would put me in a special class of people Panzade. I feel the same way about you... but that doesn't give you some special right to come down extra hard on me when I don't live up to the elevated standards you've set for me. Be surprised, even disappointed, that I emitted a stronger negative reaction than normal if you like. But don't you dare suggest I have to live up to some higher standard than Frank or anyone else around here to suit you.
Then you drag my name through the dirt on another thread as an example of distastefulness... because I failed to live up to your standard? You've got some nerve, but less of a sense of fair play then I had previously given you credit for if you can't see the error, hell the irony, in that play.

(Shakes head sadly). Did you ever see the episode of M.A.S.H. where Hawkeye tells Radar to go to hell for telling him that he didn't live up to his elevated standard? Did you think he was right or wrong to do so?
Truthfully Panzade, I think you are uncommonly cool. But, if this is how you treat your friends, I'll look forward to being better strangers.
