[QUOTE=Oakminster] I conducted a bit of searching tonight, and made a clarifying post in the GQ thread. Still say Campion was unnecessarily rude, and I was offended by her tone. [/QUOTE] Why did you respond by taking it to 11? Your response, to me, is far ruder than any interpretation I could make of her OP. It seems to me that, as she has astutely pointed out in this thread, you’re diverting attention from the fact that you were talking out of your ass. I think an apology is indeed owed, from you to her. ---

[QUOTE=Oakminster] Still say Campion was unnecessarily rude, and I was offended by her tone. [/QUOTE] As you might imagine, there are one or two things you’ve said I’ve found to be unnecessarily rude and offensive. But if you can let bygones be bygones, so can I. So, here’s the settlement offer: neither side admits liability or fault, and we consider the matter closed. Deal? ---

All right, **vetbridge, Bricker** , sidebar, please. And keep your voices down – I believe some of the jurors heard parts of the last one. You don’t want this case to end in a mistrial, do you? Court reporter, this will be off the record. ---
