Well, whatever, my friend. I'm happy to let bygones be bygones and drop this discussion. I think others got the humor, and it's too bad it was lost on you. Hope you understand now, and understand that I did not intend for this to get so messy.
As far as respect, I'll always disagree if I do. I try to generally be polite, and simply was getting tired of the fighting and tried to point it out in a humorous light. Let it end. I think your style is probably offensive to most. In this case, my style was offensive to you, so I admit guilt and simply say let's drop the whole thing.
