You don't need to apologize to me. You just need to realize that what you said made no sense.

Realized and understood Para.

How’s Miss Kitty doing Doc?

quote:

By saying your hippocracy knows no bounds I was meaning that your hospitality is ever ending.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

hypocrisy
[həˈpäkrəsē]
NOUN

the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

Pretense may be the key word to hypocrisy my friend, and we might both agree that Parabellum wasn't pretending.

I hope that helps. Catch you in the A.M.

I *think* what you meant to say is, “Your hospitality knows no bounds.” I also think that you may have meant to say “I was meaning that your hospitality is never ending.”

I suspect that the reason I can make these translations is because sometimes my fingers and keyboard don’t cooperate either. Sigh...

Hospitality != Hipocrisy. The former is a far more admirable trait.

Hospitality =/= Hypocrisy

The man apologized, and then he received a hazing. A hazing is an initiation. You don't initiate someone you're going to kick out. Whether or not he tolerates the hazing is up to him, but that's the price for pulling something like this. He seemed to be having a genuine problem changing his email adress, and the only reason I locked his thread was to get his attention. Therefore, I offered up assistance on both things. If he stays, he stays. If he goes, he goes. It's his choice. The gauntlet was the price.[/QUOTE]

Thank you, I'm receiving emails now.
I read more than I post. Hopefully I won't cross the line any more.
Thank you.

And Johnny Comes Marching Home, Hurrah!

Methinks the intent was a reference to the Hippocratic Oath. You know, the one doctors take that suggests, "Do no harm."

Of course, there's been a lot of substance abuse displayed on this thread, so I could be wrong.

It was an attempt to play on words from "Tombstone", but it didn't work.

Most of us are guys. Guys hack on each other because.......well, we're guys. That's how we show inclusion without getting to close to awkward hugging and pillow fights. How 'bout them Bears?! It only evolves to flaming when the focus of the hazing goes postal. Which I don't think you did. Wait until the next 'victim' comes around. You'll likely join the dog pile.

Atta boy!

Welcome my friend, to the show that never ends.

Now, you see? It's just like that old saying: A foot in the ass is worth two in the bush.

Or: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him sink.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, help us! Will this thread never end? In a minute I'm going to post cat pictures.

Anyone who classifies this as "hazing" should receive a blanket party, because getting shit from anonymous people on the interwebz isn't remotely hazing.



But then again grown adults talk about being 'bullied', so I guess it's to be expected...
