Pat,
No one said it's your fault the Bored told me not to respond to your posts or mention you by name did they? I'm trying to keep this as polite as possible. All I said was it was in poor taste for you to respond either directly or indirectly to various points I raised when you knew full well I could not respond back to things you said about me or my audio POV. You for some reason fail to see why you should have avoided commenting on various points I raised simply because I was not permitted to reply.
I guess your mindset is not my problem why should I care? That's the difference in our characters Pat. I would never hit a man whose arms are tied or ask questions of or about someone in front of them, if they cannot or are unable respond. You apparently have no problems with doing that. I just wanted you to know I how I felt about what you did and it was precisely for that reason I asked Stephaen for persmission to respond back to you. I'll just have to be careful and avoid your attempts to provoke me in the future.

I suggest in the future you not get yourself "provoked."

Pat,
I guess you're now claiming I am responsible for YOUR behavior? But if I am NOT responsible for YOUR behavior, which I'm not, then how can I prevent you from purposely trying to provoke me like you're suggesting when you say: "I suggest in the future you not get yourself "provoked."
As I'm unable to prevent you from acting that way, I'll just have to be careful and avoid your attempts to provoke me in the future, like I originally said!
With that I informed you of how I viewed your actions when I was unable to defend myself or POV. Now I have nothing further to say on this topic. Now go ahead and have the last word like you always must do...

I'll leave the Dhammapada with the last word on this.
"I have been insulted! I have been hurt! I have been beaten! I have been robbed! Anger does not cease in those who harbour this sort of thought.
I have been insulted! I have been hurt! I have been beaten! I have been robbed! Anger ceases in those who do not harbour this sort of thought.
Occasions of hatred are certainly never settled by hatred. They are settled by freedom from hatred. This is the eternal law."

Thomas Byrom's version, linked below, is beautifully written but apparently not particularly accurate.
"It pertains to all men to know themselves and to be temperate."
