Excellent spirit you have, right on. Actually I was admiring the way you confronted him there. He must have gone to bed to beat up his pillow. He'll be back.
Right on with that post about domestic violence in that gun thread.
I gotta say, be careful what you get into with Crotchety -- he's extreme. And worse, he will hijack a thread like he's doing right there. I've only been here a few weeks and found there are some real wingnuts; the other one is the guy in the Superman suit, who posted at length last night all about how "negroes" are inferior. He's out there too. And then there are trolls who will stalk you, in tandem.
