What's this?

Smartass? You are a condescending, insulting, disrespectful prick who

demonstrates almost no tolerance for opposing points of view with a few exceptions. There are many here who would like to discuss their viewpoint with you but have chosen not to be personally attacked just for expressing a different opinion.

There are 2 or 3 posters who, if they were to eliminate the ad hominem attacks and blanket insults, could substantially elevate the discourse on this entire board. YOU are one of them.

But I don't expect that to change so I will continue enjoying taking my shots at you when the occasions arise.

WADR, buttercup. :)
