Uh, yeah. The "Be QUIET" was supposed to be a summary of you and Terrance.
It was in response to your message, which I quote below in order to provide
the context in which it was written and posted. Was your message
"discussion?" The POINT of my message was that both sides of the this
DMorris/DMillison war are unable to just leave it alone, to the point where
you had to post a "ditto" message.

Before the summation in Romeo and Juliet, the Prince reminds the warring
factions that "All are punished." If this were an actual kindergarten,
everyone would be marched down to the principal's office, perhaps myself
included.

If you're tired of arguing with Doug, then just stop it. What a bunch of
babies!
