The personal insult is neither necessary, nor appropriate. I'm sorry, but if we can't have a primary campaign among Republican candidates without personally insulting anyone who differs in opinion with you, then the GOP is in major trouble.

The English language is a rich one, capable of the expression of almost any thought, emotion, or nuance of feeling. The description you used to describe another freeper is simply crude.

Argue ideas, not personalities, please.

Since my post #56 was deleted, I have no idea what particular "personal insult" is being referred to. Having a rather thick skin, it is not uncommon for my statements to be construed as "insults" when I don't consider them that big a deal. And it doesn't seem that you are very good at practicing what you preach, in light of your crack about "I can't imagine that I'd have much use for it, since I'm not out on the prowl for gay liasons" on the "Sorry, Charlie" thread. Double standards are never honorable, and yours in no exception.

As for "Argue ideas, not personalities, please", I do. But when someone insults me, directly or indirectly, or verbally assaults someone I care for or admire, they have made the first move whether they care to admit it or not.

Good day to you, sir.
