If "pompous ass" can warrant and receive an apology, as it did earlier

To be precise, "pompous ass" was retracted when I "redeemed" myself. There was no apology, just a promotion to a less "asslike" grade (or perhaps less "pompous" I'm not sure). :)

I didn't expect an apology in this case (not that I condone improper language), I got the impression that Steven would have chosen different language 10 seconds later...he just has an itchy trigger finger. To be fair, it's difficult to play off of the whole "ignorant" thing without taking the chance of offending. Soemtimes he's jumpy without coffee.

What's the big deal? For a couple of posts you were a pompous ass before redeeming yourself. :-) All the sudden we got something against truth telling?

I remember you were "redeemed" for technical expertise! :)

I think Reggie apologized to Reader David for calling him a pompous @ss. Lots of pompous @sses around here lately, it seems! God Bless, and preserve us all from pomposity and assinity.
