[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Antigates, I was going to respond in like kind, but read the young man's response to you and realized it would be redundent. For a 7th grader, he seems to hold his own quite well. After all, he was only wishing an ex President happy birthday, not endorsing that persons politics. As for cheating the ravages of aging, I wasnt implying you would or could. I was implying that as one matures into ones final form, you learn the values both of tolerence and paitence. Funny, the kid caught it, but the "adult" didnt. Ed [/quote] I (respectfully) don't think its an AGE issue Ed,...Do I tell you hown you have to post? Do I set rules for what another member is allowed to express, and what they can't? Do I say "Hey pal, before you do that, GO DO THIS FIRST!" I may argue the logic of a thread (example: High speed rail) And I may argue why I believe another members rationale (on a topic) is incorrect, but never (other than the "super bowl" thread where I was trying to emphasize this aspect of this forum) will you find me telling another member that they shouldn't express their opinion on a topic. If "age" is an isse here, I think it is that some members still need to learn that not everyone is going to have an opinion you agree with, that doesn't mean it's a personal insult because they believe differently than you, it just means they are different. Whereas, telling someone what they are supposed to do, implying one knows better than you what thoughts SHOULD be going through your head,..IS an insult.. I took offense at the other members "holier than thou" air in the post, and then he comes back calling me names....
