That's a bit harsh and insulting.

Look Spock, I was waxing eloquent in defense of a beloved movie. Do you think that I would actually mean it, when saying someone is "worthless in soul" because they disagree with me over a movie? How could I possibly know that you were "weak in body?" I was being absurd. I also consider you to be a good friend. Have I ever insulted you before? No, and I have still never sent you a real insult.
I decided to respond 1,000,000fold to your post, so that it was obvious I was not serious (I definitely apologize for coming across unclearly about this), while at the same time effectively defending what needed defending.

It is NOT O.K. to insult people, Lief, and I know you say you don't mean it or you're being "misunderstood" and so forth, every time that foot gets lodged in your mouth, but don't you think perhaps it might be time to look at yourself a little more carefully & learn how to be more gentlemanly to people? I knew right away that your quote was from the movie, but I STILL thought it was crass and snobbish to direct it at another mooter, period. Not cool.

Granted, I made mistakes in posting what I did, and I do apologize to you, Spock.

You are incorrect in accusing me of making no effort to be a gentleman, and I think it is unkind of you to make that presumption. I completely agree with you that being a gentleman requires action rather than mere thought. I do work at it. I try to do what is right and at times analyze my behavior and listen to the Holy Spirit to find my faults, accept forgiveness and then change as he gives me the strength to do so. I think that every person should do that. I certainly make plenty of mistakes, and perhaps I don't try hard enough, but I do try. I apologize now to the normal posters on this thread for being such a source of contention, and for driving this thread off course by my carelessness. I'm finished apologizing. Anything more related to this that anyone has to say, please let it be over PM, rather than driving the thread off-topic.
