Pan, I'm now openly laughing at this exchange. Really, this is just too funny. You're accusing me of not reading your posts and making it personal? Seriously? Now, I'm not laughing at YOU, I'm laughing at the SITUATION.

In posts #5, #37 and #43, I tried to draw the conversation back to the fact that Imus first and foremost attacked successful amateur athletes for their personal appearances. I still feel that right there is the biggest problem. Other people have made this about race, but not me. I've stated several times that his racial comments are secondary as far as I'm concerned. In posts #13, #18 and #24, I was asking how the First Amendment could be applied here (it still can't IMHO).

Then you went off the rails in #45. Apparently I'm somehow personally attacking you because I think that there might be another explanation besides reverse discrimination or that I don't care that someone doesn't like you. Where's the personal attack? Is it personal to not care? Wow, I never knew not giving a shit could get me in so much trouble...
