[PatrickHenry]

When someone has posted something that is both dishonest and personally insulting to me, and you thank them for their post, I have to assume you wish to instult me.

Calm down. Alamo-Girl doesn't do insults. Although there are times -- such as the recent quote-mining incident -- when I wish she'd be more judgmental.

Thank you for your understanding and encouragement, PatrickHenry!

js1138, I have no idea what you are talking about. The post at 358 was from hosepipe to me and Dimensio. You are not mentioned on that post at all. And the only post since by hosepipe (at 494) doesn't mention you either.

PatrickHenry, the reason I don't get involved in the quote wars is that they do not interest me. In order to assert a position one way or the other I'd have to do the research myself.

Theology, philosophy, mathematics and physics on the other hand, do interest me - so I invest the research time gladly!

I'm calm. I'm just point out that people should be careful about who they thank and when, and what for.

Thanks for a ping is OK. thanks for a response to a post is generally OK.

But this particular post was supporting a falsehood, and was extremely insulting. Thanking the poster was not appropriate.
