Feeling passive aggressive?

Another insult.

So you're going back to some previous discussion from weeks ago?
Ok, passive aggressive it is.

No, just that there has to be a limit to all this 'discussion'. You'd
have me launch into an increased assault of cursing and swearing.
It's a waste of time in this case and accomplishes nothing.

Cast iron can rust or crack and fail in a number of ways. Your
insinuation that it's "BULL****" is outright "CRAP" and you don't know
what you're talking about.

Oh ok, now they're rusty. Care to add any more weak specifications to
your bull**** claim that pipe couples can break when used as extenders
for wood clamps? What's next, they're PVC instead of metal?

Please show me exactly where I said "they're rusty". I used the word
"or" not "and". I'd suggest you go buy yourself a decent pair of
reading glasses, but you're reading what you want to see, not what is
actually written.

Cast iron falls into the class of brittle materials. My assertion that
cast iron can break or crack is valid and there's no proof printed or
otherwise that you can produce to refute that. Your insistence
otherwise only makes you look bad.

However, it looks like you've decided to use that as a reason to come
after me again.

Ok, you've won this argument, I'm finished.

The bottom line is you made the absurd claim, "I'd think that a regular
pipe coupler would be the weak point and the first part to break when
used to join pipe clamps."

If you're using enough force to break a pipe coupler when used as a wood
clamp, you're using way, way, way too much pressure and you'd end up
smashing the wood you're trying to clamp before breaking the coupler.

Instead of just admitting it was ridiculous, you kept arguing and
changing the subject and adding new variables to the equation to try to
back it up.
