"If you don't get the joke, or the spirit in which the remark was made, I doubt you're really USNA '86. If you are really '86, the only thing I can say is "lighten up, Francis.""

Trust me, I know the spirit you're referring to. There's no joke to calling any opponent "loser" and I believe we're above that type of rhetoric, don't you?

I'm sure you're not at all locked in to what I'm saying. I want to make sure that other posts realize that the Brigade is not in the habit of using your terminology to describe the Corps of Cadets.

Give me a break!

I take it you've never participated on or even read a Free Republic Army-Navy thread before. Calling West Pointers "losers" is about as vanilla as you can possibly get.

Lighten up. Your panties are in a twist over nothing at all.
