I learn a lot about a person’s character by how they respond to overstatements on the forum.

I overstated my case, in that there was not a printed indication of testimony of waitresses for one particular biker who happened to be ill-treated by the authorities. I responded by retracting.

You overstated your case, falsely claiming I issued a death threat against someone on the forum. You responded with additional invective, without retracting.

Thank you for showing me your character. Have a FINE day. :)

Your retraction was appreciated.

On the other hand, I have tried diligently to not overstate anything on a serious thread. I am confident most will agree that on any of the recent mass of bike gang threads, not a thing I have posted has been a false claim or overstatement. Bike gangs generally are criminal by their nature. Bike gangs operate on intimidation, particularly of law abiding citizens. They do not have an upside.

Whether you ever care to admit, your tacit threat that Freeper TM would kill the poster to whom you were responding to was indeed beyond the normal bounds by which we are expected to conduct ourselves here. You post was very clear regardless of how you now try to dodge and divert. I could care less if you retract once it has become common knowledge. Character is how one behaves when no one else will know.

On many threads I and I assume others appreciate your humor. The threat was not humorous.
