I admit, I do not have any real admiration for the way you chose to handle the situation but I certainly don’t think it’s the dumbest thing anyone’s ever done. But by all means, continue to get defensive about it. ---

And before he removed it he’d order a ruler off the internet to measure how far up his ass it was. (Sorry **Senorbeef**. I have nothing against you or the way you handled the problem.
