I respect BOTH of their opinions (at different times), but in this situation, I think that Joel was out of line by bringing business into the conversation. JMO.
Joel was out of line for responding to constant attacks but the attacker wasnt out of line because you "expect more" from Joel? That makes a TON of sense. So basically, Joel gets penalised because he is usually a nice guy but Oralguy80 is given a free pass because he always does it.

Joel is human just like the rest of us. Oralguy has questioned his credibility amongst a few other swipes in the last couple of months. He also threatened him in another thread. How could he not respond?

Joel is passionate and he is well versed. I dont always agree but he is a joy to read. But the only thing i expect out of him is to be human and i dont expect any more or less out of him than i do the oralguy or anyone else.

I guess my expectations for him are higher than yours are for him...

He is young, well versed and we share a few things in common. I can't make much sense on a message board (it's tough), but basically, I expected SOMEONE to be the mature adult in the situation and it happened to be Joel. Sorry if I offended you.

This is a ridiculous statement and that is all I'll say...

Ironically, I'm a little disappointed in Cajun for this statement....

I think you know what I mean, Joel... if you don't, then please pm me and I'll be more than happy to explain it to you.

Thanks Dalakhani.....I appreciate that at least soembody understands where I'm coming from....I did not want this....this is all counterproductive and a HUGE waste of time...I'd rather be talking about horses, but I will not sit back and allow people to attack me for no reason...it is not right and its against my nature....

Sorry that some of you don't understand that.
