Since I was the one who recommended that Victoria "chill out", I would like to point out that up to that point in the dialoge, no insults had be hurled by posters regarding Victoria other than the reply they we were not the morons as she implied, rather, she was.
That's not entirely true, Larc. A poster said, "How do you know a moron is using a computer? See Victoria Cruz." It was AFTER that that you said "chill."
Thus, I was not ignoring insults by others. These insults came later.
A distinction with no difference and you know it. Even if I had the timing of the comments wrong, since then you have not encouraged a pursuit of the high road on the part of the longtime poster(s) who needlessly abused a newbie. Why is that? Is it because said longtime poster(s) has "high credibility" with you and you must maintain that view in your own eyes? Curious, Larc, very curious... but not surprising. I thought you'd learned, though.
I suggested to Victoria that she "chill out" because she was unique as the only one going beyond the term, moron. At this point she had used the following terms: numbskull, shit for brains, shoving a pole up your ass, asshole, drop your draws and grab your ankles.
Of course, taking her words out of context might help you prove your point but you characteristically avoid the whole truth. In quoting her comments above, you hide the fact that she was merely responding to the insults of others about which you remain silent. I don't need to point that out to you point by point, but I will if I have to, and you KNOW that.
Of course, she could have asked her question in a less provocative manner, so she is not entirely innocent. Yet, that does not excuse the words used against her. Just because someone acts childishly does not require or force me to respond to them in kind. I can be above the fray if I know how and have the will. I do, and I do.
next time you quote me, try to get the context, since you now qualify as a poster biggie
I have nothing but contempt for labels like "biggie," "senior poster", and use them myself only as an off-handed insult. Such labels are juvenile and worthless to me. Sorta like "elder" and "overseer." Please save them for someone who gives a shit. Thank you.
