Good morning sire!

Uhhhhhhhh, what's a curmudgeon? Oh, here it is:
Definition of CURMUDGEON
1
archaic : miser
2
: a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man

Well now, many of us fit that description.

Here's an OPINION only, and please, it is only an opinion and may be totally inaccurate.

Tour knew that he got Snapit's goat and, actually, so did I. I think Tour was just messing with him seeing how far down the path this could go. Tour does that sometimes.

I don't think you are insensitive to the plights of others at all. I know this board has some kind hearted folks on it who can feel the pain of disaster victims like those in Japan and Haiti, New Orleans as examples.

I am sure I wasn't the only one to donate to relief organization that would help with the needs of many needy people there.

Here's a good example of what I mean regarding the exchanges between Tour and Snapits. Remember the old "rope-a dope" from years gone by? Well, I understand sir Snapits' was irritated and why, but he was just being "led". You ask what could we have said? Simply change the subject or don't respond to that topic.

I stayed out of it because I did not wish to get entangled in it. Again, I wish that it had not happened and that Tour might have let it drop sooner because Tour could really be someone that could add a lot to an exchange of viewpoints, whether it is on the same side of the tracks or the opposite. He really is quite a talented person.

Anyway, it is water under the bridge and I truly do not want to cause any difficulties for you either.

I can simply hang on the Wavx board and here and Pope and Constitution, which are the boards I have marked.

Thanks for listening King Ribit!

...can you think of anything we could have said or done to get him to drop the subject? We are well aware that we are curmudgeons of the highest order and sometimes "insensitive" to the plight of others. We just don't give a rats behind. The war on poverty has been going on since LBJ and poverty is winning. Ya can't help folks who don't want to help themselves and as long as the media portrays people like Rangel and Jessee Jackson and Rev Jeremiah Wright as "black leaders" with solutions to the problem rather than being part of the problem, things aren't going to get any better.
