I was not attempting to take a potshot. I was giving my opinion on what was said.....

yes that is what it sounds like to me.
If that sounds like a potshot to you, then so be it.

What I said did not in any way draw into question being a gentleman, treating a woman right or being courteous.

Take your best shot. The other admins can decide, but I don't respond to intimidation and threats Coon in the way you are probably used to.

I was a little bewildered by that too.

And then I realized it was a subtle attempt to cast me as a threat making intimidator.

Prax,

Are you suggesting that this is an either/or proposition? That one is either PC or rude and crude?

I don't believe those are the only options.

Excellent point.

Sure, bro.

See, you, a real man, exhibit traits of masculinity and strength with conviction, love, protection. This is erroneously characterized by the bitter and weak as intimidation and legalism.

A wonderful Godly man (an understatement to say the least) used to say, "Let the dogs bark and the trucks roll..." or something like that.

I recall hearing him say that a time or two, Brother.

I don't even think in terms of intimidation...that is silly.

And threaten?

What am I going to do, fly to California and challenge him to an epic bout of thumb wrestling?

Im not sure how that is supposed to flatter myself, but again your attempt to threaten me and intimidate me aren't going to help in anyway what and how I post. Pure and simple.

How on earth would one of us go about intimidating the other, anyway?

And threats?

It's your post brother...

So discuss the ideas represented all you want to, but start taking potshots at SB, Prax, and we are fixing to tangle, admin or not.

Notice the absence of smileys.

Just what are you trying to appeal to here on my part? You want me not take "potshots at SB" or what? "we are fixing to tangle, admin or not...and notice Im not smiling when i say that"...

I'm sure SB is a fine person. But I have some opinions on what was posted. You want to appeal to what part of me? The part that reads how great SB is and decides to tame my responses or the part that "fears" getting into a tangle with you? Again, your threats just don't mean much CS. I guess you thought that was the best course to take and perhaps you've had success with it in the past.

The way I'm "probably used to?"

Well I don't know...what sort of reaction to your threat were you expecting CS? Where you expecting the one I gave or something else?

I am just telling you that if you make this personal against SB, I am going to challenge you on it.

I think you spoke well in favor of SB. And I think that is the BEST thing you could have done. Threats rarely elicite a favorable response

I based my supposition on past instances when you have drawn on your perceptions gained by being in the Western District against what you consider "ultra-cons."

lol....Is SB an Ultra-Con? If SB is in Chula Vista he is in the western district and in the south part of it...I wonder how UC he can be

You have, if I am not mistaken, made comments about men and told folks that if they were out there where you are, they might feel like you do.

Im really not sure what you are trying to say here

I hoped you weren't going to go this route with Brother Buxton this time.

Im just responding to what was posted. I know very little about SB or the Chula Vista church

By the way, I resent the implication that I habitually make threats. That is an outright prevarication.

Was I implying you habitually make threats?

Are his hands smooth or callosed?

Does he use the fact he has large hands to overpower and subject you to struggles you normally don't face?

Ok...see that wasn't so hard.

There is nothing wrong with apologizing for what was said...it does not make someone less a man
