Well, that just must be 'cause it's so obviously true, right?

Just out of curiosity, what is it that I have ever done to you that makes you feel that you have to get nasty with me?

Actually, since to my knowledge I've never had any exchange with her, I'm wondering what this is all about.

Alright I probably shouldn't post this because I feel like I'm only prolonging this conflict but Mark obviously you and Jeb have differing views on this subject. Trust me when I say there is no chance that either of you will see eye to eye on this subject, and hence no reason to keep fighting about it. My two cents is that LV didn't specifically post his picture and therefore his actions were justified. Had the image link been attached I would feel otherwise, but it wasn't. I understand why the MM police would have DQ'd the image because well from an authority standpoint it was breaking the rules, and LV you were the most mature person in this fight with the way you honorably accepted it. For what its worth I don't think either of you acted like assholes, just stubbornly passionate, a quality that I possess as well. Even though this was one of the most interesting forums I have read thus far can we call a cease fire?

That'd be fine.

I am still wondering about Juliet's participation and the provocation for it.

Since she decided to make a point of calling me an asshole, I was just wondering whether she actually had some legitimate point of reference.

The Argument Sketch

A man walks into an office.

Man: (Michael Palin)
Ah. I'd like to have an argument, please.

Receptionist:
Certainly sir. Have you been here before?

Man:
No, this is my first time.

Receptionist:
Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment.

(Pause)

Receptionist:
Mr. DeBakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory.
Ahh yes, Try Mr. Barnard; room 12.

Man:
Thank you.
(Walks down the hall. Opens door.)

Angry man:
WHADDAYOU WANT?

Man:
Well, Well, I was told outside that...

Angry man:
DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF PARROT DROPPINGS!

Man:
What?
Angry man:
SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS TOFFEE-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!

Man:
Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
Angry man:
OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!

Man:
Oh! Oh I see!
Angry man:
Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.

M:
Oh...Sorry...
Angry man:
Not at all!
(under his breath) stupid git.

(The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk.)

Man:
Is this the right room for an argument?

Other Man:(John Cleese)
I've told you once.

Man:
No you haven't!

Other Man:
Yes I have.

Man:
When?
Other Man:
Just now.

Man:
No you didn't!
Other Man: Yes I did!

Man:
You didn't!
Other Man:
I did!

Man:
You didn't!
Other Man:
I'm telling you, I did!

Man:
You did not!
Other Man:
Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

Man:
Ah!
(taking out his wallet and paying)
Just the five minutes.
Other Man:
Just the five minutes. Thank you. Anyway, I did.

Man:
You most certainly did not!
Other Man:
Now let's get one thing quite clear: I most definitely told you!

Man:
Oh no you didn't!
Other Man:
Oh yes I did!

Man:
No you DIDN'T!
Other Man:
Oh yes I did!

Man:
Oh look, this isn't an argument!
It's just contradiction!
Other Man:
No it isn't!

Man:
It IS!
Other Man:
It is NOT!

Man:
You just contradicted me!
Other Man:
No I didn't!

Man:
You DID!
Other Man:
No no no!

Man:
You did just then!
Other Man:
Nonsense!

Man:
(exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

(pause)
Other Man:
No it isn't!

Man:
Yes it is!

(pause)

Man:
I came here for a good argument!
Other Man:
AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument!
.
.
.

Man:
That was never five minutes just now.
Other Man:
I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!

Man:
Well I just paid!
Other Man:
No you didn't!

Man:
I DID!!!
Other Man:
YOU didn't!

Man:
Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing???
Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha!
Other Man:
No you haven't!

Man:
Yes I have! If you're arguing, I must have paid.
Other Man:
Not necessarily. I could be arguing in my spare time.

Man:
I've had enough of this!
Other Man:
No you haven't.

She didn't call you an asshole: this is what she said to you, verbatim:

"Jeb, you just love stirring things up into a whirlwind and being the righteous one in everyone else's causes. You do nothing bar make yourself look like a meddling old fool."

I think that's a reasonably accurate assessment of your participation in this thread: you had no horse in the race, yet you came in and chose sides and then started a typical (for you) long, whiny, back-and-forth battle that was only peripherally related to the original topic. Sorry to be so blunt, but I agree with Juliet in this.

I have to agree with Juliet and Bear, this is pretty typical of you Jeb, and I've been really surprised that at some point in the past SC hasn't stepped in and at least slapped you on the wrist with some sort of suspension for cooling off purposes. Its almost as if some days you forget to take your meds and off you go.
