The Associated Press Has Gone To Far

I'm far from perfect, always have been and always will be.

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.

But - I've always been a firm believer that it takes a bigger "man" (or person), to walk away from a confrontation/fight, rather than stay and throw punches. That's not being perfect - just smart. So it will continue to be just a vicious and ongoing circle here on PT, because too many just can't walk away.

And this is why Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. LOL

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.

It took you a while to find your quote, didn't it??? I seriously doubt that those are your original words.

When you win, pursue.

But those that do battle on PT, know they can win the fight, when in reality, no one wins. The only injuries sustained, if any, will be to the ego, and maybe a cyber-slap from Karen.
