Me too. Only I cherish the thumps from better people than I. Valuable learning experiences they be. Its the people who are clearly swinging at air that annoy me. ;)Quote:

So it will continue to be just a vicious and ongoing circle here on PT, because too many just can't walk away.
SOMETIMES, it is not prudent or smart to walk away from the fight. Sometimes, you get stabbed when you turn your back, or worse. If you know you can win the fight.... Win it. Of course, as with all conflict, victory is often in the eye of the beholder. Sure, the British "won" at Bunker Hill, but suffered such casualties that a untold multitude of Patriots chose to fight, rather than cower.
Now, of course here on PT, the "battles" are simple verbal sparring. But the concepts are the same.
When you win, pursue. ;)Quote:
It took you a while to find your quote, didn't it??? I seriously doubt that those are your original words.
