But more to the point, you have now twice called me cowardly (by implication) online, which I doubt is language you have ever, or would ever, use in flesh-and-blood situations, if only because there's at least an outside chance you'll be punched in the mouth. Those are 'fighting words' to many men. So I think we can add hypocritical to the list of adjectives. If you call out people in social gatherings, you are one of a kind, in my experience. But you are bolder here, and rightly so. I'd be an idiot if it angered me, and it doesn't. That's the point of the Intrrnet

In any case, it you travel around in circles in which people become polemical, good luck to you. They for sure as hell aren't mine. These are times that are rather politically intense, and most people like to enjoy each other's company rather than debate issues.

Incorrect. As I've said repeatedly, anything I write online I am willing to say to you or anyone else, face to face in real life. So you are wrong in calling me a hypocrite. I'm not being "bolder" here, that's uninformed and unfair speculation on your part.

I'm not a polemical person and don't enjoy "blazing away" which you are defending. You subscribe to one standard for online behavior and another for flesh and blood behavior, that's your right. I don't happen to subscribe to that philosophy.
