Did I mess this one up?

No need to wait for 5 seconds, or anything like that.

EDIT: Just went back and re-read btaylor64's first post in this thread. He couldn't be more wrong.

My point was that you should go back and read all the posts a little more carefully, and then put that in the context of what JR was saying. Is JR a little too blunt? Uhh...sometimes. Is it a "personal attack"? I didn't think so, given some of the things I've seen here over the years.

There's a difference between attacking someone's position, and attacking them personally. He attacked Ben personally on this one.

To paraphrase a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, whose name I can't remember: I'll know a violation when I see it.MTD, Sr.

In 1964, Justice Potter Stewart tried to explain "hard-core" pornography, or what is obscene, by saying, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced but I know it when I see it".
