On the topic of thin/thick skin, they's fellers here who will call people traitors, sympathizers with communist tyrants, etc. and then get upset if someone convolutes their screen name innocuously, say by adding "hammer" to the end of it. Or who agitate for the banning of someone whose tongue is too sharp for their liking.

It's worth noting that accusations of treason are the sort of conduct that previously brought people to fisticuffs in our nation's congress -- not that I would do or threaten such a thing, I just point out the inflammatory nature of such things.

I understand the eye for an eye thingy was actually an attempt at equity, IOW, no cutting off of someone's hand because they stole a loaf of bread.
Couldn't stay away forever. Someone has to keep tabs on you.

I am not too sure about the origin of the eye for an eye thingy, all I know is that there must have been a lot of one-eyed people way back then.

Hey, maybe we can re-start our "feud." Since I've been out of here for a while I am spoiling for a good boxing match. If Rocky can stage a comeback, so can I.

The way my back has been acting up lately, Rocky'd probably stand a better chance than me, even if he is, what, 60?

No kidding...

The weird thing is this: if we were all together at a backyard BBQ, drinkin' mash and talkin' trash, we'd be saying exactly the same stuff and it would all be OK because we could look each other in the eye and laugh it off.

Agreed. I'm pretty sure that if I were doing a remodel for some of the guys I trade barbs with, we'd get along fine. I had a supe on a big job a few years back who was approximately 175 degrees away from me politically.

We'd get into sometimes but we were still friends.
