Shawn, lets' just debate the issues that are being discussed. Discussions on this board do not have to always end up degenerating into statements like, "I'm sorry that you are so sensitive" or "got your panties in a jumble" or "I will now no longer recognize your existence." or "To feel that I've insulted you is just plain retarded" or "For the retarded that post here" or "Not talking about mentally handicapped, just regular ole Waukegan retards."
Your comments were innapropriate, insensitive and beneath you. Let's just try to elevate the conversation. We won't always succeed but shouldn't we at least try?
