Welcome to IWETHEY!

New When they're the ones who push my buttons
they will get the appropriate response. My skin is thick enough, but there are limits to my acceptance of arrogance and put downs. Sounds like you'd rather I not defend myself and just allow being dumped on. I thought you were a better person than that.

To try to avoid responsibility by saying things like "it's only light hearted joshing" is all too typical of a certain poster.

New Actually, linc, if he were to be insulting,...
...he'd have called you a "Texan", or better (actually worse), a "Tejano". There are Texans, and there are People from Texas. Texans/Tejanos are the arrogant, insufferable boors that readily and happily assume the stereotype as their raison d'\ufffdtre. You find Tejanos all over the world (even in the White House, but I digress...). People from Texas, on the other hand,just happen to have the current misfortune of living in The World's Largest Hole In The Ground. People from Texas generally agree that Texas is "a nice place to be from...".

So take a deep breath, and admire the subtleties.

New If I pushed your buttons, it was ENTIRELY by accident.
I certainly did not intend to do so, nor did I expect you to become so upset.

If I had any idea that you were likely to react as you have, I'd have chosen a very different response.

Regards,
Ben

New having met lincoln I think you could have
called him a low rent cocksucker and he wouldnt mind as much as being called texan. Of course how the heck are you to know that?

New And
I'm offering Ben_Tilly a public apology for unloading on him with both barrels, when he had no clue as to why I did that until well after the fact. I'm sorry for that act, and I apologize.

What you consider to be arrogance and put downs has a distinctly lower bar than that of most people. I will point out that what Ben said was pretty innocuous, but you responded with a hearty FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. Your responses are typically far out of proportion to whatever provocation triggered them.

I thought you were a better person than that.
One of the less insulting people here, indeed. Carry on, I don't really care, other than the four-letter words in all caps in a subject line - you can stop that rude behavior any time, buddy. I just thought you might benefit from a more objective point of view.

One final point: you don't know Ben very well at all if you think he's arrogant. Especially if you think he's stupid or a "dickhead".
