for me, reading a logical, thoughtful post about the issues is
generally accepted and persuasive, even when sardonic in tone. once the
personal insults and name-calling begin, i think the power of rational
ideas are lost on most readers. of course, if sport's the game...one can
become a player or not. some like dodgeball, others don't. some enjoy
watching a fistfight, others don't.

It's crystal clear to me that LaCourse was attempting to bait his
"enemies" by posting this thread. Wolfgang, predictably, went for it. I
had no intention of of replying to LaCourse's troll -- until he brought
up my name, for no apparent reason other than accelerating the baiting.

LaCourse is the most completely perfect ****head I've ever come across.
He stoops so low as to use his nephew's death to attempt to score points
on ROFF.
