I make an innocent enough comment on my beliefs that Tiger Woods is as good a ballstriker as Hogan if not better.
He starts this whole line and writes in a style that is designed to get a rise out of someone. The manner in which attacks my statement in an obvious attempt to belittle me. You did not edit it which is fine because it doesn't cross the line into personal insults.
I then tell him that maths is not his strong point. Ok I admit I am guilty of being goaded into responding however not one of the comments attacks him as a personal insult. I attack his mathematical abilities and how silly I found his arguement. Not one single personal insult towards him as a person.
He attacks me personally in a totally transparent manner. Now the line should of been crossed. A post that has no purpose other than to try and annoy me and stir - one you should of deleted the moment you saw it... you did nothing about it.
I respond again in a very strongly defensive but collected manner pointing out his hypocrasy, his strawman arguement, his ad Hominems, his personal insults and what his intentions really are. He really is the bully that is acting the victim here... Not one of my responces attacks him personally at least in a direct non-figurative manner.
I emplore you to find one insult which attacks him as a person directly. Sure I attacked his maths skills, sure I said his arguements are absurd, sure I was a lil harsh but you show me one personal insult - just one.
I am more restrained than the other person and if your not going to delete his personal attacks your leaving me no option.
Ive been trying to respond without crossing that line which he broke.

Let me ask you - why are you defending him ?
Actually I want you to delete the two last posts but while his personal attacks remain - so will my refutation because im not prepared to be talked to like that by anyone.

I'm not defending anyone, but here's what is bothering me.
This forum exists to promote Lynn and his teaching business, so as a Sr. Member and someone who knows Lynn personally, I hold you to a slightly higher standard of behavior than our newest members.
Your contributions, insights, and dialog with members over the years have been excellent, but something has made a turn for the worse this year and I'm patiently waiting and hoping for it to turn back around.
Because of your contenteous behavior, you are turning off and even running new members off of this site, which is in opposition to our purpose here.
So when I say I'm getting weary and sad, this is why. I want the best from you and for you.
