:* Well… that reminded me of something. I wonder if G.H.W. Bush (Bush #41) got all hot & bothered when Saddam Hussein accused him of being an infidel and a liar? Now, no one should get all hot and bothered by suspecting that I think for a New York ''second'' that anyone here is a really, really bad person like Saddam; he used poison gas on his own people and was responsible for many other very bad things. No indeed, that would be taking the analogy much further than intended; everyone here are clearly splendid, law-abiding citizens and all that. But, what you just wrote, Tony, reminded me of that for some reason. I don’t think I’d let accusations of incivility get under my skin. In fact, since I seem to almost never agree with ''anything'' Locke writes here, and since I don’t admire his record of interacting with others and of chronically breaking rules of conduct here on Wikipedia, I think I’d be terribly '''proud''' of being on the receiving end of his criticisms. Congratulations. <span style="white-space:nowrap;">'''[[User:Greg L|Greg L]]''' ([[User_talk:Greg_L|talk]])</span> 16:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
