In defense of Aligncare, I'm sure that's what he meant.
You are in part correct. I don't like personal insults and I do strive hard not to use to them.
But, I also know that generally when people are punched, they tend to punch back. So in defense of RIV, she was a counterpuncher in this instance, and I've noticed in other instances as well. When insults go flying, it's typically she that gets hit with the first insult. That's what I see: RIV responding in kind. Well at least she uses graceful taunts in return.
I'm the same way. You can say I'm wrong, question my facts, you can insult Trump with any name in the book, that's your privilege. I don't care about that. I do care however that members not be allowed to insult me personally. And if I'm not mistaken, forum rules have something to say about that.
