I excuse no one rudeness, (not even my own when I let my fingers run off without considering the other person.) He was replying to me and got a rude reply because of it... Unfair and uncalled for, Parky..

I have also made comment to Kem and others for that type of behavior. It is a matter of respect to all period.. Politics are passion driven and we all at times take it overboard. I happen to believe that we as not only citizens of our country but people should exercise the basic common courtesy of having a discussion without the need of rudeness. I also believe that if we really want to achieve that goal then it starts with each of us individually..

Kem has always been polite and respectful when replying to me. I formulate my opinion about another based on what I experience with them and not what may be happening with others, especially when they too are being rude... I like him in spite of his downfall.. None of us walk on water and I have my own downfalls too...

No excuses, just sharing with you
my personal opinion here...I prefer to treat others as I wish to be treated too..

Ps~~ I enjoy your posts that I have had the pleasure to read....
