The context of which he said it does not make his verbiage any less insulting, nor underminding of other people. When civilized people who debate for a living debate, they don't insult potentially thousands of people when trying to prove a point. And if they do, it's not every single time they debate. I don't really give a care if his intentions were merely to prove a point... you're judged by what you say, and this kid insults another person every other post he makes... whether trying to prove a point or not. That's why he was banned several times.
Now for people such as myself whom he abhors, most of the time he's insulting me without any debate going on at all. But like I said, you wouldn't know or care about that now, would you.
For the last time, Andy, you can call me "kid" or "son" if you're 20 years older. But how stunning it might be, you're about my age. Context always matters. Besides, certain things and people deserve respect, others do not. You can't go around and respecting everything. In the end you have no debate at all. What you excell in, is taking that context away and be appalled. All you do is point really.
You're Mrs. Lovejoy, only you're catholic.
EDIT: I found a quote of your husband that really describes you. It's about the unfairly judged Krusty (BTW I don't understand how people such as you and Vinman could ever find the Simpsons funny):
"I urge every halfway decent member of our community to gather up all merchandise that bears the likeness of Krusty, that clown prince of corruption, and join me in a public burning..."
I could of course explain to you what it means and why it makes so much sense you're catholic. I could also tell you it's nice of whoever wrote that quote to start with "every halfway decent member", as if people who refuse automatically are evil. Something which you do quite a lot. On the other hand, you're not going to comprehend anyway. You'll point and say something about how shocking my words were this time.
