Would it be sufficient to say that Al Gore has more class than **Freedom2**? 🙂

NO, it would not. Especially in this forum.

Agreed. Everyone chill. **Freedom2** has acknowledged his prediction concerning Gore’s speech was incorrect. That’s a great deal more than most people on this MB are willing to do.

And like he predicted Mr. Gore would do (and was wrong), he didn’t _concede he was wrong_, he just stated the facts. He copped out like he claimed Gore would.

Just stating the facts.

No, you’re not just stating facts, you’re insulting **Freedom2** and it’s uncalled for in this forum.

Besides which, you’re wrong. He didn’t cop out. He even posted an entire thread [saluting Mr. Gore](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=50861).

Seems to me, Esprix, that you certainly aren’t doing your part to help in the healing with comments such as the ones you’ve contributed here. Please stop it. Thank you.

**Freedom** , I withdraw my remarks to you in this thread because I did not see the ”Al Gore, I salute you” thread you started. My sincerest apologies – you were quite gracious in your remarks.

**Shayna** and **Sua** , I hope that suffices.
