Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4657620, member: 37"] As this thread so pointedly demonstrates it is better to win than lose. As you point out septegenerians, like any identifiable group, can be quickly offended by something innocuous. So why make a potentially inflammatory statement that can alienate anyone when the primary purpose up to that point was his desire to encourage individuals with a different perspective to reconsider it. To me that’s counterproductive. Offended? Nah. Few situations not named my wife can initiate that emotion in me any longer. I spent a lot of time working on becoming a happy old man as opposed to a crotchety one. [/QUOTE]
