Thanks H17. H3Witch, you are absolutely right. Lowering myself to the point where I responded to personal attacks with profanity is definately stepping backwards. When arguments deteriorate to that point, most people stop reading them. On the other hand, when someone hides behind there keyboard and thinks they can call people stupid, low class, etc., well, you have to respond. I learned a long time ago to never underestimate, or assume to know the quality or abilty, of others. It is a sure fire way to get yourself in a bad situation, embarassed, or worse. People who do that are usually very predictable, and I think if you read the posts, you can see what I mean. It is frustrating, because you know that most of these people would never say these things to others if they had to do it in person, but it is safe to do it online. With that said, no more profanity and I will be the bigger man and stop responding to such childish posts. No more "ear muffs."
