After four pages the question posed in the OP ("Do you insult your friends, strangers and associates as you do the members of this forum?") has not been addressed.
Instead, suggestions to ignore the offending posts and justifications for same have been discussed. And the name calling and insults continue.
Wyobirds you are correct, I failed to directly address the specific question at the start of the thread. Though I did think the nature of my postings did represent my answer, That said in specific answer I treat friends with similar respect that I show fellow members of this board.
I do not insult them in public forums, but I will try to intelligently argue points of view when I disagree. I do not attack them personally, I argue for civility even when emotionally I would love to type a scathing attack of a personnel nature. Lastly if I give personal offense that is reasonable (simply disagreeing is not an personnel offense) I am willing to make amends.
I will always argue for civility.
