I understand now. I can't determine whose behavior I can accept and whose I cannot. That apparently is left to others. So I cannot be upset when, oh lets say Paul Orwell attacks me personally because you have decided someone I know may have done the same previously to someone else.

Sorry, again, that is illogical. I will stand up to the consequences of my actions, not someone elses. Let me know when you start accepting the consequence of someone else's actions.

BTW: And I decided not to vote for George the Second after his "internet umpire" like attacks on my preferred candidate, McCain. Should I have asked if this was okay, first?
