Just playful jabbing. Generally you can tell when my comments turn serious because they begin to address the issue alone minus the jab. The jabs are just for fun. As for the thickness of my skin...I'm fine...but thanks for the heart felt concern. See what I did there? Went from serious to joking in two sentences flat. Maybe you just needed to see the ebb and flow of my posts diagramed? So for the sake of future posts I will consider the matter closed. See...did it again. One sentence that time. I'm like the Gandolph of serious to satire. I would love for you and I to become email buddies though. So if you would like to have a chat on a more personal level...you know...to really get to know me, here ya go. lkkwmjharris@yahoo.com . We should chat. Love to all... Dear jcc:

You could say you agree with him entirely and he'll find half of a sentence you said to misconstrue into some horrible affront on his masculinity or intelligence. @conformnolonger

jcc trolls everyone. You could say you agree with him entirely and he’ll find half of a sentence you said to misconstrue into some horrible affront on his masculinity or intelligence.

However, that said, this could very easily be argued as a hate crime as Crist allegedly committed a violent act against a religious minority in reaction to Mr. Middlebrook's profession of atheism. While it was a mild offense of battery, that he did it in reaction to his god being question, and considering further that he's supposed to be a representative of everyone by being a governor and not just those who share his religious views, I think he should do much more than a half-baked apology assuming he does that much.

Seriously, you gotta grow a thicker skin if you wanna play in this sandbox.

OMG, that sounds exactly like something I’d say.

So, how does it feel to have someone make an assumption about you?

Probably like the rest of us who’ve passed under that kaleidoscope you fancy a microscope – bewildered as you shout “Eureka!” when the arrow misses the broad side of the barn.
