> Are you and Larry friends? Vigilante IS to ME considered an INSULT.
Well all I can say to that is your perceived definition of the word must be incorrect. Vigilante is hardly an insult, especially considering that's the role you're playing here.
> Yes, he was attacking my EGO, an insult to me, a put down TO ME! Helpful suggestion? PLEASE! Larry doesn't know me, and has no right to proffer such "helpful suggestions" that I PERSONALLY find offensive attacks of ME.
I don't see how you could find a statement which is simply saying to you, "Please don't feel you have a leg up on anyone else on this board due simply to the fact that you haven't been blocked in months," could offend you. In context, what he said is synonomous with that--he used no offensive language and, what's more, he even said please!
> I don't believe that you are showing any objectiveness in your defense of Larry's attack on me.
I'm sure you mean apart from having read *both* posts thoughtfully, and even employing dictionary definition? Sure, my opinion on the matter was subjective (as opinions tend to be), but my approach was entirely objective. You conveniently left out the fact that I *did* say that Larry was out of line when he said, "I don't know Cam, but if he was 'driven away' because of inappropriate postings resulting in blocks, then he must be a slow learner."
> So do I attack you in response? No, I just point out that your defense of Larry's attack of me condones that sort of activity, and indeed, reinforces it.
Now that's just plain silly.
