George,

Like I said, I think he's playing with you. It ticks you off and he sees it..so he continues to push that button....and you let him, so basically you're setting yourself up for it.

jckstraw72,

My comment is not anything un-Christian. I was just addressing the issue of wrong name calling.

There's nothing immature about my comment. It's plain and simple.

sorry i didnt mean your comment was un-Christian, I meant the intentional name calling to push someone's buttons. i know it can be fun and tempting but we should try to refrain from such stuff.

Uh oh. Looks like you pressed one of Joanna's buttons jckstraw72....
Joanna,
You give ioannis too much credit I think, and myself too little if you think calling me "Gregory" is gonna tick me off. Again, you missed the point.
Regards,
Airplane.
