Kerryman...he could have just let me speak softly to Beagle and offered counterpoint, instead he thought he needed to teach me a lesson...he even admitted it...so he "took me to the mat" over a spelling error...
Tell me, who has the right to teach another member a lesson in manners? Now, who has the right to teach another member a loeeson in manners while troweling out unsubstantiated crap out of the other side of their face? ........
Larry needs to apologize to everyone...He needs to know that it is not his place to be teaching manner lessons...
How many others has he done this to?
I told you I am not a fan of LB; I regard him as old spook (which I imagine he takes as a complement), bored-in-retirement, with a rather strange political outlook and an affinity to plausible denial. However, were I to meet him I would be quite happy to pass an evening with him; I would stay away from topics like CIA, US foreign policy, etc., and discuss guns and shooting, because he clearly knows his stuff and having read many of his posts outside this topic I guess he is enjoyable company.
Nobody is teaching manners. You, however, have "crossed the line" on more than one occasion (too many times in the view of many) and most, including myself, have politely suggested that you stop the whining, hectoring and little-girl name calling. Your arguments do not stack, you are unwilling to admit a mistake. Your rants have demeaned your position and whatever you post as an "expert" is - in my view- highly suspect due to your ill-mannered and ignorant behavious. I now regard your net contribution to this BB as not worthwhile.
