Futhermore, the purpose of the "comment" was to remind those who have wandered away from the initial post you spoke of to reposture their ill will and/or worthless rhetoric. Nothing more, nothing less.

Secondly, is there really a need to curse? I am a grown man, same as you-respect me. I am sure that your education affords you the vocabulary to accurately articulate your thoughts in a social forum that supports and maintains constructive candor and perspective-taking. In other words, when you speak...expect any and everything from your audience.

As far as the quote goes, if more people focused on ideas...this thread would be void. Just my thoughts...

ARTIC-U-LATE,

My reply was not focus solely toward you, as a matter fact if there was any ill thought in my reply it was focused on Bamboozled. I just used your quote (or rather the quote you quoted) to address the asinine comments being made.

As far as me cursing, @$$ is not a curse word. It's a combination of symbols that resembles the alphabetical spelling of a word that is seen as obscene by some. It's like saying heck, darn, or shucks. Now if a coy reference to an improper word is enough to ruffle the feathers of so many, so be it. Grow up. Like my niece says, "it's in the Bible.”

ARTIC-U-LATE your response was well written and your points were clear. Thanx!
