Originally posted by Grampy Bobbyyour claim that it was a 'personal attack' is an over reaction, a personal attack in my opinion is something more malicious, im not sure if you watched the youtube clip, but it contained nothing specifically offensive, other than a few swear words, which i pre-warned viewers. the title was alluding to the content of the video and calling somebody a caveman is hardly the most offensive thing in the world. so in my opinion your quote from the site owners was not 'applicable' and my claim that you are 'over reacting' is correct.

Originally posted by stellspalfieHow many is 'many'? Varied (mostly a critical mass of Alerts from detractors).

And I got a haircut and shampoo Monday from Claudia; in the morning I plan to shave.
