Now see what I mean? If you want to insist on acting stupid, like the others you named actually are, its your right. But let me switch your brain on about something. Being "big and bad" in terms of a fistfight is only what the neanderthals here can't get past. That said, it is stupid, is it not, to invite someone to a fistfight when you don't even know about his physical attributes or wether he's had any training that might help him beat the shit out of you. Not that I'm saying that's the case with me. But you have to admit that it was a stupid invitation on the part of the neanderthal in question. I love the American saying, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters. It's the size of the fight in the dog." That said too, those of us who no longer drag our knuckles on the ground when we walk think beyond the concept of a fistfight in a confrontation. Namely the very modern concept of the law. When some self described skinhead wanna be threatens physical harm to me and my family I think I have to take it seriously enough to study my legal options fo fighting back. That's not only being big and bad but smart too. Something that's a foreign concept tho the neanderthals.

I grew up in a society in which "tattling" was considered the lowest of the low. Both due to societal and political reasons. You don't have to worry about me. I do live in a society that claims to be based on the rule of law though and I do believe in nipping a threat in the bud within the parameters of the law so it has no chance to progress to a stage not allowed by law.

If you mean taking this matter to the Mods, I already said that it's not for me but for the integrity of the CP and this forum. I have not asked the Mods to do anything about this guy, just that this kind of stuff drags CP into the depth of a sewer. I think some semblance of civility needs to be practiced among people who are not close enough to get that personal. Some jerks here can't think beyond the thread at hand. I on the other hand would like to keep things as civil as possible with you because I know we are bound to exchange opinions on the Chiefs, electronics, movies and a host of other subjects. Deleting you from the list of folks I can otherwise have good exchanges on other subjects woul be counterproductive and thoughtless. Do you think this crosses the primitive minds of the neanderthals here? If not, I submit I AM a little more intelligent than they are. A fact, that combined with my birthplace, makes it painfully impossible for them to stomach.
