Welcome dmg! Take no notice of Dusty, it's his time of the month...

Seriously, we strongly discourage abusive posts toward one another--name calling, sarcastic and mean comments, accusations--just general nastiness. But we have been very proud to allow all posters the freedom to express opinions just about anything. Ask Pottel, even profanity has been permitted here. Calling some athlete 'scum' does not constitute abuse. It's an honest opinion expressed in direct language. It is anyone's right to challenge another's opinion here, but we do try to be decent to one another. So if I want to call ex-President Clinton a philandering dirtbag here, I may. But I should not call Dusty a stupid ignorant and ugly mofo. And I wouldn't.
That's the difference, I think. Rollergirl's comment and my use of it are in good fun and I'd bet a sackful of pennies, or a sausage-- that he would laugh when he sees it.
