> [@Marley23](#): > > You called him a thug: you said his comment was “typical of the socialist or conservative thug who cannot defend the eleventh amendment with rationality.” You can only edit your comments for a couple of minutes after you post them and we don’t go back and delete them. Just don’t call people names. > Yes, I can see that from the caps lock. > He was commenting on your writing style, not your “national origin.” And you could stand to write more clearly. Describing a post as an “ad hominem” is OK. Casting aspersions on someone’s character based on what they have posted is not OK. This is a forum just above twitter. I don’t have time to edit my grammar. If you can’t wade through some of the muck, don’t read it. stating that ad hominem abuse is typical of thugs, would only be insulting to those who abuse that way. If I would have called him a thug, which I didn’t I could see your point, but then here we go. I’m looking for debate, and what do I get, “your writing needs work” “try speaking english.” NO that’s not an insult. Whatever you do, I don’t believe you are on a just path, with the way you are presenting it. You seem to major on the minors here. I’m definately not qualified for this group adios amigo… ---
