You even include it in the header! Obviously you don't consider it to be so vulgar. Right? What if I had used the phrase "Are you crazy" instead of "ARe you on Crack". Both the phrases have equal meaning. I was not offended at all by your use of the Phase, it is something that people say all the time in my part of the country. By the way did you notice that the person who originally wrote the post did not complain at all?? My question is then why should anyoneelse. This is real stupid, all these people who I was not even talking to explode over something that was not even directed towards them, then we waste time >This forum is about freedom of opinion AS LONG as you give an opinion on a >subject and not on a member of the forum. > >People are not "Crybabies" or "Sissy's" (yet another set of derogatory terms for >people here) for wanting to follow this simple guideline.
