I'm not going to say I speak for all but I beleive we all come to the site to learn and not to be insulted by our peers. To all of my fellow sports officals here in the states have a merry christmas and to the aussie go back to throwing boomerangs.

I used THIS emoticon
because I thought it was the closest thing to the "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon on another board. Maybe a couple of guys have interpreted that as a rude "raspberry". That is NOT what I thought I was doing.
Now, apart from that, HOW on earth have I made any of my responses "personal"? Sure I was playing around a bit with Moose, but he and I go way back so I figured he'd understand. When he obviously didn't by using his "angry" emoticon, I replied that I wasn't trying to shoot him down, but that I did disagree with his position. THAT'S ALLOWED ISN'T IT?
So, Duckump, how precisely have I "insulted" you? And why did you find it so necessary to effectively tell me to go back where I came from? I'm not angry, just curious.
Cheers
