I personally think making little snide comments, and yucking it up with others about other people is rude.
I guess I have been guilty of attacking people sometimes but never do I congratulate myself on how smart I am.
I suspect that is projection on your part.
Oh relax, yarddog. Howlin is good people. I have had the honor and privilege to meet her on several occasions and have been a guest in her fine home. She is a classy lady, a very fine human being (one of the NICER people you'd EVER meet, by the way), and yeah......someone not afraid to speak her mind and pull out the straight razor when she thinks it's warranted.
I admire that.
