He thinks he's funny, > nobody else does. Is it still humor? He thinks so, I don't. How is that any different from my reply to Eli? He thinks he's helping but the way he responds he only makes others angry ... I explained this in depth and politely. This is documented, or rather, archived. Yet, you took issue with me pointing that out to him, but you have no issue with pointing out basically the same thing of your brother.

The answer is "Rudeness is what I think > rudeness is". It's a personal opinion. Mine is not always the > same as yours. If everything of fact and truth is just personal opinion to you, then what gives you the right to belittle and disrupt my serious reply to Eli? It's my personal opinion according to your perspective and has every right to stand as is because "mine is not always the same as yours." Doesn't it? That's the only logical outcome given what you've stated. Rod Pemberton -- If fewer guns reduced murders, how does one explain Moscow, Chicago, New York, and South Africa?
