Me either--finally something we can agree on! Actually, I'd wager, if either of us was willing to back off just a wee bit from this endless tit-for-tat, I'm pretty sure we could find a great deal of common ground to jointly tromp on...but that's just me.

It's all part of growing up to realise that one should apologise when one is wrong - it's a pity that you haven't reached a level of maturity yet that you understand that being gracious is far better than indulging some juvenile idea of machismo.

You should apologise to her even if you don't like her, because what you said is out of bounds in how a lady should be treated.

And the threat of hours and days doesn't phase me in the slightest.

...because what you said is out of bounds in how a lady should be treated.

What did he say?

*You should apologise to her even if you don't like her, because what you said is out of bounds in how a lady should be treated*

Nonsense. What I "said" was PERFECTLY in "bounds"--and I'd sooner "apologize" to Marie Antoinette or Hillary Clinton than the person you refer to.

*And the threat of hours and days doesn't phase me in the slightest.*

Really? GREAT! Me either, "old boy," me either. Let's get busy...I look FORWARD to it.
