Maybe you shouldn't be posting when you're drunk. Whole threads lose their points when people start editing. Maybe first you say something inflammatory, papasteeze replies, ski999 joins in...then you change what you said, making papasteeze look like an idiot for carrying on, and maybe ski999 would have stayed out of it completely except for papasteeze having joined in and we get our typical Twilight Zone free-for-all. You can't "unsay" what you say on the phone or in a letter or an email, why should this type of conversation be any different? People should be stuck taking responsibility for their remarks.
