I respectfully disagree with you Kathy on "tacit approval".
Sometimes in my world it is better, to quote my mother, "ignore them and they will stop, keep in the game and it goes on". I told you this same thing about Tom on the phone that day, and now that you quit playing his game, and you took away his fun, his cartoons are moving back to primarily political ones. This is a reason why giving someone the "cold shoulder", or "ignoring someone" pushes their buttons not yours.
I am also bright enough to realize:
A. there are people in this world that best you can do is be cordial to them, but not for one instant do you turn your back on them.
B. Never gonna please all the people all the time.
C. I can not control the world. Wish I could and I'd cut taxes today. We got some real power and control junkies out there.
D. Death and taxes are the only two constants.
Of the posters over "there", I have not been personally attacked once. Not once. In that same time period here, it has happened numerous times here lately for pretty much innocuous comments.
