@very-rusty saidWhy are you puffing out your chest and calling him son?
Well my son you said I had said something offensive right?
Then report the post, see if a Moderator agrees if they do it will get removed, it isn't that big a deal.
Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.
What are you doing right now if not trying to tell me what I should be doing?....LOL... Just think about it for a second.

@very-rusty saidDon't you dare twist my words. I did you the courtesy of quoting your own words directly.

And here you come, the man who cannot be commanded by others, issuing more commands of your own.
If this keeps up I will start serving insults in the form of assessments.
I suspect you would very much like to have some of your posts alerted and deleted for the sake of erasing the evidence. Maybe this is what some people interpret as the nervous behavior of a guilty conscience.

@very-rusty saidWhat ever happened to "Treat Everyone Equal"?
Do you see me replying to any more of his posts?
Doesn't mean the rest of you are off the hook, unless of course you join our Clan, that gives you a pass! 😉 😛

@kevin-eleven saidI believe his tagline hit the word limit. He really wanted to write:
What ever happened to "Treat Everyone Equal"?
'Treat Everyone Equally Badly.'

@kevin-eleven saidI think I did need to invoke it because your first post on this thread on page 6 made it sound like you were going to cop out and take your characteristic fatuous line of least resistance INSTEAD of demonstrating any sense that there was a "principle" on the table here. So I invoked your thread just in case. And now it seems maybe I didn't need to.
No need to invoke my thread in order to convince me of the principle.

@fmf saidI'm sure you really invoked my thread to make oblique insinuations about my character or "forum persona". But it's not completely unlike you to be glibly disingenuous while maintaining a tone of sober reasonableness.

For instance, reframing the inquisition that had been going on as a "justifiable talking point."

@kevin-eleven saidI am not being disingenuous at all. I am being totally genuine with you.

@kevin-eleven saidThis is the reasonable talking point I am referring to:
For instance, reframing the inquisition that had been going on as a "justifiable talking point."
Page 1, OP (post 1):
"Note to mods: There is no legitimate reason to delete this thread. It's about the product of the joint creative efforts of half a dozen members of this RHP community."
There is nothing "glib" or "disingenuous" about describing that as a "justifiable talking point."

Far as I am concerned you always took things way to seriously.
Get of your high horse, you are really no better than anyone else here.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidStill it is what it is.
I believe his tagline hit the word limit. He really wanted to write:

I treat others the way they treat me.
If they are nice I am nice.
Like yourself if they are not so nice I am not so nice either.
I still "Treat Everyone Equally", Good or bad depending on them! 🙂 😛

@ghost-of-a-duke saidLOL @ goad don't get your panties all in a bunch.
Why are you puffing out your chest and calling him son?
Wife is a Newfoundlander I guess after all these years I am picking some of their sayings. ( Not meant to be disrespectful in any way ) You puff out your chest on here more than anyone I know, and that is saying something.....You don't have to thank me! 😉 😛
I think you may still be a little testy about the Prose Competition....Just chill out, it is ok, there were many good Stories this year once again.

@very-rusty saidThanks for your advice.
