In your private note to me, you wrote:

"I deal with racist cowards such as you on a daily basis and i truly feel sorry for you. You and yours were probably brought up with black servants who had to work for their keep. People like yourself enjoy hiding behind the computer screens and preach to others as you would be afraid to speak them in public. I can assure you that you would get a good spanking if you were in my presence and you would no longer have blue eyes."

You need help, sport. For one thing, no one but you and your erstwhile allies have used inflammatory language on this thread. For another, physical threats are pointless. Calling me a coward is pointless. It's the untried, untested, insecure types who react to that sort of provocation--or who make these kinds of unwarranted attacks. Speaking for myself, if I'm in a fight, it means I'm being attacked by a stranger for no good reason and that I'm in a fight for my life. The days when I would brawl for alpha male dominance or for the adrenalin rush are long over. Further, I'm a decorated former paratrooper with nothing to prove to anyone.

Lastly, I grew up on a farm in rural Indiana. We had no servants, black or otherwise.

Like I said, get help. Should you ever take the trouble to find out my name and location, bring help.
