Well if you want to start the asshat train, good for you. Son.

If you have stopped talking down to people on this forum by repeatedly referring to them as "son" since I left, then I apologize for my comment. I assumed you were still doing it. My only solace is your apparent admission that referring to others as "son" makes you an asshat (and obviously me as well for doing it a few times)!

I guess in your zeal for particularity, that might have bothered to notice the use of the term 'son' is reserved for one person, and most notably always in response to that person stating something along the lines of 'ignorant' or something like that.

I absolutely use that term in a counter-punch, just as I did with your initial sling of **** there, big. Note the adjective 'initial' in the preceding sentence rather closely.

We used to be rather nice towards one another. Seemingly now, at least twice and recently, you have felt to jump off the ad-hom bridge. And I add the term 'initially' to that very specifically. I suggest you stew on that a tad.

My only 'solace' is your apparent inability to note the temporal issues dealing with my use of the term 'son'.

You referred to me as "son" on multiple occasions. That is why I started using it back toward you. When I use it, I'm not actually trying to insult you by calling you "son". I'm using it a little tongue-in-cheek and a little ironically, mostly to make fun of your use of it. Same reason I sometimes quote 69/70/75 back to himself where I just swap 1-2 words. I will stop doing it, as I thought you realized my use of "son" wasn't meant to be insulting in the same way you use it toward others.

You don't like gifs, I get that. But they can be fun and sometimes Darth Sidious or Star Lord can express my feelings or thoughts in either a more succinct or more humorous way.

Funny that indeed. I wrote the post so you would think I would know what I meant when I wrote it.

I made the same argument to the Fifth Circuit in a case once! I had written an agreement during oral argument in front of the district court judge regarding how the parties would proceed with motion practice that opposing counsel and I both signed. The other attorney later unsuccessfully complained that the words I wrote somehow had a different meaning then what I actually wrote and what I explained the words meant (and what the district court judge understood them to mean) during motion practice. It wasn't a good argument then and it isn't a good argument for you now.
