Close your eyes and you might even see the spittle flying in one of JCO's recent posts. It reminds me of encounters with a borderline psychopath we had on the group many years ago. He vanished, suddenly, and without a trace. I was even threatened off list, as were others, with physical violence. There was another, also absent these days, who often became abusive and used four letter words with alacrity. But I shouldn't paint him black since I've used them myself. PDML has become much more civilized. But I learned, when I was still in Junior School, all you have to do to win an argument is make your opponent lose his temper.
