It is impolite to carry discussions from one thread to another. Since you are so well informed about Free Republic etiquette I shouldn't need to you remind you. Pot - meet - kettle.
That seems to be the exclusive territory of the professional government employed teachers who frequent these schooling threads.
I suggest you practice what you preach -- and obey the rules about personal insults.
I respectfully request that you not ping me or send private mail to me. Please feel free to comment as you like on my posts or threads, even using my name, but, please, no contact.
Politely and respectfully,
