Get a grip here, Builder. In the context of an ogoing discussion, your post is obnoxious. I neither sidetracked the discussion nor insulted anybody.
Well, now you HAVE sidetracked the thread by throwing down. You're pretty thin-skinned if a mild "your post is irrelevant" excites you so much. So you have to get in my face with that word "obnoxious," eh? And who said anything about insulting anyone?
All your post contained was bragging about your boyhood exploits. Nobody cares what you climbed when you were 15. To repeat, it doesn’t contribute to the thread. What the boy does when he can make his own decisions 12 years from now is irrelevant to decisions his father may make right now, which *is* this thread's topic (and whether the boy will live long enough to make his own). You’re lucky I was so cordial as to only call your post “irrelevant.”
To call my post “obnoxious” is the height of arrogance. That's the pot calling the kettle black.
