Like 'amateur lawyers jumping in front of a bus' isn't an insult.
It was a moronic (and contradictory) statement.
"I like the guy" ??? Yeah... right.
Not only wouldn't I consider those insults, but I didn't say them. You are obviously confused.
"Amateur lawyers jumping in front of a bus" wasn't even specifically directed at you, and it takes a very thin-skinned, sensitive psyche to somehow take that as an insult. And how anybody can think "I like the guy" is an insult is quite beyond me.
So sorry ZenMan... that Big Bad Dale hurt your poor wittle feewings so much you felt you had to post it in two different places here. What a frail ego.
If that's an indication of a "frail ego", then you must have one made of eggshells, judging from all the insults and name-calling you've been doing all over this board. If there was anyone here that fits the description of an "internet tough guy", it is most definitely you.
May I suggest a good therapist? Oh, and make sure you tell them about your obsession with disproportionately large female mammary glands, I hear they can pinpoint a lot of insecurities from your particular affliction.
And regarding your comment about 'face-to-face'... I'm in Chicago... Really aren't any Bandit rallies around here, but if either one of you is passing through... feel free to let me know and I'll buy you a beer.
Now
that's the spirit! Thank you for the invitation, I'll definitely take you up on it when I come up that way this summer! Just PM your address and I'll be there!
