Sounds like a threat to me, and a physical one too. Kind of the pot calling the kettle black don't you think?

Um, no that's not a threat. That is me pointing out that someone who is sitting behind a keyboard reading black and white text without having a chance to look into the persons eyes, listen to what they say, and evaluate all the other factors that we normally observe and judge in determining the credibility of a given person are missing. And, if you go up and read my quotes and my messages, I really think you would be hard pressed to call me an idiot, etc.

And I know for a fact that if we were sitting in a pub sharing some cold frosty Sam Adams, playing darts by the fire and talking about politics all night long, I'm sure you would not be calling me an idiot. That's the kind of personal insult you wouldn't make to somoene like me in person face-to-face, and which is why I wish that we could all talk like this in real life, not just on a cold impersonal web page.

I have read all of your posts here and don't take your own quote out of context. The part that implied a threat was:

"If you would like to meet in person.."

not nice

Please get it right. I didn't say you were an idiot. I said that what you said was idiotic (which it was), and I believe the word I used to describe you was "fool" which I subsequently took back.

Now go away, please.

And further, If you take the time to read MY posts, you will find that I never called anyone an "idiot".

Again you miss the point. We are not INTERESTED in reading your quotes, or hearing your views. We are all intelligent citizens here, perfectly capable of making up our own minds, which WE HAVE ALREADY DONE.

Now go waste someone else's time. We have more important things to discuss here, i.e., the subject of this thread: PHOTOS.
