You know the sad part is that I have no problem with a contrarian or someone who calls it like they see it. My line is rudeness. Name calling dips too far into that rudeness line. There are far better ways to get a point across than falling back to Name calling.
In this case in specific I found myself getting irritated enough to want to say things that would be rude. It has been building for awhile this was just the straw that made me realize it is time to take myself out of the equation.
not too very long after i joined ECF, i got called out for name-calling in a PM by ECF member "racehorse"
she was absolutely correct, and to this day, i regret the idiotic thing i said. and i admire her for many reasons.
it's an easy thing for many of us to fall into. perhaps i've become more immune/tolerant because i know for sure that i have definitely crossed the line.
i don't see that anyone here has crossed the line that i crossed, but, of course, ymmv
