(Ovid) Re(2): Consider Your Audience (SHAME)

...snidely pretending to discuss a matter when you are really attacking the person...

extremely, I am sorry you feel that way about my post. While you may not believe it, it was not my intention to attack him. That I used his behavior as a springboard ensures that my comments can be taken as directed towards him, but that was not what I was trying to do. I mentioned what was going on in the first couple of paragraphs and then used the rest of the post to make my point:

Don't go to Utah if your sole intent is to make fun of Mormons

That's it. That's all I was trying to say.

Cheers,
Ovid

Update #3: I have deleted my previous updates as I don't want a flame war. I do agree with extremely's comments about downvoting past nodes to teach someone a lesson. I haven't done this and I hope no one else would.

Then delete the first paragraph. The rest of your post stands on it's own without sending the troops off to downvote him. And downvote or upvote away, there is only blame in voting if you are voting the person and not the content. Which brings us nicely around to what princepawn and merlyn have both complained about. =) If you disagree with me vote the post down, don't go seek out every useful post I've made in the last 2 weeks and downvote all of them to "teach me a lesson" or some such nonsense. -- $you = new YOU; honk() if $you->love(perl)	[reply]
