[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />True, <br />But, you did realize you were dealing with a 7th grader? <br />Do you normaly argue with a 7th grade student, or carefully and cautiously teach them, by calmly and clearly explaining your point, and point of view? <br />Would have hoped trading jabs with a young man was something you would refrain from. <br />An old fart like me, sure, bring it on. <br />There may be fault on both sides, but he is a 7th grader, and you...? <br />Ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />To be honest Ed,...no I didn't.... <br /> <br />But then, outside of the remark about "call him, see if he remembers" the only other posts I made to the kid was my original politely worded assessment of the subject of the thread, and : <br /> <br />>>Well, there you were telling everyone the pre-requisites we all must comply with before offering our own thoughts,...how polite do you consider that to be? you forgot to say please... <br /> <br />< Alan Alda voice> Hope it was as good for you as it was for me...</Alan Alda Voice> << <br /> <br />Which I made only after he snapped my head off. <br /> <br />In retrospect, the "Alan Alda" sarcasm seems (to me) to be the only "hard ball" play I made, that I would do differently if I had it to do over again, Which, compared to the flaming I got, seems fractional.... <br /> <br />I am glad that I chose to not respond in like fashion, (name calling) given that he is just a young'n.
