Cool, cool -- champ. Glad to know that 'trash talk' is a metric that is seemingly high enough as a 'thing' on your 'needs to have' list to have to make a comment about. Kind of explains you in a nutshell, I guess.

Not for nothing, but you are responsible for a lot of the trash talking here, not all but enough. And it's juvenile-level smack. My 14 year old granddaughter would smack talk both of our asses into the ground. So the obvious question is, why must you do it?

There are times when you go on the defensive, and I agree there are times you're justified in doing so, but c'mon, man, with every single post? You can do much better. I know because I've seen it.

I'm trying to stop being so accusatory and angry towards people with whom I disagree. I believe I've demonstrated in our own back-and-forths that I'm trying to be non-inflammatory, at least now, unlike I used to be.

With all due respect and without being a smartass, perhaps you could try it.

I suggest you look at the initiation of **** talking in pretty much *every* *SINGLE* instance, good sir.

When you do, you will pretty much find it is not me that starts the ****.

If responding to smack with smack is 'being responsible' -- then your bolded is on point. I dont denote my response as being responsible as you seem to view it.

And TB, I have followed your 'non smack' to me with an equivalent 'non smack' to you.

And to your last sentence, I do try it. Until the **** talking starts up with me. Then I dont. Its really that simple.

I suggest that perhaps for once you lecture your compadres in the above manner, instead of me.

Fair enough. I even alluded to such... "There are times when you go on the defensive, and I agree there are times you're justified in doing so..."
