Message: [QUOTE="JS, post: 2592756, member: 6"] Not a cooperative response, PG. Your sarcasm is untoward. Like I said, I so enjoy these little explorations of our (mostly) common language. So here's a bit more. No one's saying end all and be all, nor is anyone (except perhaps you) suggesting one usage must always prevail over another regardless of context. You've explained your intended meaning and I've explained why others might perceive it differently, in a way that I've found after long experience to be more prevalent in the present context of sports message board dueling. Case in point: As you know, since you responded to him, a person you called ignorant said the following: [I]"Lack of Knowledge, I Played 40 years and coached for 30! Did you play or coach? Because if you didn't then please don't waste my time with your Asinine comments!" [/I] Now that person was breaking the board rules by engaging in a personal attack. So his post was deleted. As was your further response, because you quoted (but talked around) the deleted overly personal protest of your perceived name-calling. In other words, just doing my job of [I]moderating[/I] (check college comp notes; not just presiding over but making less severe) insulting or angry board content that is, or is conducive to, a rules violation. [I]Capisce?[/I] (interjection, Slang. 1. Do you understand?) [/QUOTE]
