So what? The 2 discussions are in no way connected. He also uses the
word "the" many times in his posts. Does that mean every time you use
that word it's in reference to Ed? I originated a post about
measurements, and it was obviously my concerns about them which you were
characterizing as "OCD". Your comment in no way implies anything else.
Instead of being an adult and apologizing, you're trotting out this
bull****.

PLONK, mallethead.


I always wonder about these guys. They get all upset about a light hearted
remark. And then shut themselves off from the real resources of the
newsgroup.

I am not going to defend swingman. Not only did he not do anything, I can't
imagine anybody taking Dan seriously. And I am sure the Mr Bennet would
have found Mr Swingman's comment to be funny.

This is a classic example of style over substance. Or political correctness
run amok. OCD is a term that many overacheivers use to describe themselves.
It is not the insult that some folks imagine. Ed Bennet used it to describe
himself.

Is it OK for Ed to characterize himself in this fashion? If so, are others
guilty of some kinda cosmic trangression if they describe Ed in the same
fashion?

Maybe it is a joke thing. The Joke Police want to outlaw all humor. A joke
was made. Most of us laughed. Somebody went nuts and imagined all kinds of
horrors because we commited a cardinal sin of laughing at a joke.
Apparently this guy suffers from Humor Impairment Syndrome.

I have a simple criteria for reading posts. Are they of value to me? Are
they educational? Are they enjoyable? Most of the folks who post good
things on this forum are also blessed with a sense of humor. It makes this a
fun place.
