Tom, I'm sorry for offending you, but as a tremendous English language
fanatic, I have to disagree.

Your original post is as follows:

We are all WRONG Barry!  You don't know me, you don't know Steve 
Metzler, you don't even seem to know yourself - dude! I'll venture to 
bet if you lined up (in REAL LIFE and not behind your computer on this

newsgroup) with all the people you label as a whacko, you'd look like 
the biggest of all!

The phrase "... if you lined up (in REAL LIFE and not behind your
computer on this newsgroup) with all the people you labal as a whacko,
you'd look like the biggest of all!"

That is a direct statement which calls Barry a whacko.

I'm not nitpicking or twisting semantics.  That's the direct,
straightforward meaning of your message.

Amazing how I can get dragged into a conflict I want nothing to do
with just by pointing out a minor semantic issue. :)
