[Rhodes22-list] Legal: Ben Please Help

[Herb Parsons]

Gee, I just apologized and turns out I had the RIGHT Ben all along.

No Ben, the asshole post was a different one.  I called you that because 
of what appeared to be a threat. You explained, and I answered back that 
I didn't know the meaning of the word.

You may FEEL your misspelling was "obvious", but it wasn't to me. My 
email program recognizes neither (I'll be more than happy to show you a 
screenshot that shows both of them with red underlines), and just as I 
said, the reference I found in the small dictionary in my office didn't 
fit the context. I STILL don't understand it, he's not a law colleague, 
and it didn't have to do with college. I made it clear that I was 
ignorant on the topic, and frankly, I'm not much more informed even now.

I did catch the difference between dual and duel, and even thought it a 
funny Freudian slip. Didn't mention it though, because I thought I'd get 
another stinging response about my spelling.

I've never spoken of you as a mortal enemy. The threat was beneath what 
a reasonable person would be doing on an internet site. You disagreed, 
and acted as if I were somehow in the wrong about it being a threat. I 
wasn't alone in my perception. I still believe it was beneath what 
should occur here, and felt (and still do) that it deserved an equally 
"beneath" response.

In the "mortal enemies" issue, I have the ability to compartmentalize, 
and apparently you either don't, or choose not to use it. I can think 
you're being an asshole when you make boorish threats, and still think 
your advice on other areas is good. Shoot, if that weren't the case, no 
way could I vote for McCain, or most other politicians for that matter.

Jesus says that we are to love everyone, I do. I can love a person and 
still not like what they do, or what they say, and still be forthright 
with them when I feel like it.
