Here, the ever optimistic BOOMM offers a toast while in the foreground Pelathais pokes at his "food." Though this pic is from some time in the previous century BOOMM has the same hair today.

LOL! Yeah he does!!! It's just a wee bit grayer!

Just a note....it has never been a part of our rules that questioning the veracity of someone's claim is not allowed. That stuff has always been a part of these kinds of discussion boards and I can not remember anyone that was banned for it. I asked the "two" repeatedly to show me where we have in the past. They would not or could not rise to the challenge.

However, had Pelathius outright called that other poster a liar (name calling) there would have been some sort of action probably.

Name calling can get you in trouble, so be careful.

Also one has to consider the motive or intent....if something is done with malice or seems to be done with malice then some sort of action might be taken.

And ....few people like to be called a Papist....even a lot of Roman Catholics I have known take that word as an insult.

In essence then if it seems we are using words with malice we might ask people to back off for the sake of the board discussion running smoothly.

My cat just "attacked" Pelathais' Avatar. I was just sitting here reading through this thread with the cat on my lap. I stopped to read something Pelathais had posted, when all of a sudden "Stripes" jumped up on the desk and "pounced" on Pel's avatar. Wish I could have got a picture... funny as could be!

And the name calling I received was "justified" (?) and received by me without complaint. No problem.

LOL! I was going to change that avatar soon. I think I'll hold off while "Stripes" and I get acquainted.
