Richard, I have told Bruce many times I will speak civilly towards him if he does the same. Look at this thread, who cast the first insult for the sake of being insulting? I just never got that whole "turning the other cheek" thing down. I posted a comment to him that contained no profanity and/or personal insults. In return, as a response ,I received as follows: "and you are a stupid turd." Soooo, it was "game on" from there on out so far as I was concerned. You and I, for example, rarely if ever exchange personal insults even when we strongly disaggree on a political issue. I'd be most happy to discuss things with bruce as adults. However, that does not seem to be his wish.
