Well - you were the one that took 'jerk' to the personal level. I just spoke in general terms. You made an implication that I was a jerk. But right, I'm the bad guy. Don't worry, you'll get HGM's me-toos to agree with you.
I don't think he was calling you a jerk. He was saying that some consider you a jerk.Quote:

I, uh what? I said generally Boston fans are whiners (which they are), spoiled brats (most New Englanders are), and few other things. I don't ever recall saying 'all', and if I did then I have no friggen clue why I did that.
You didn't say "all" but it was pretty much implied.Quote:

It wasn't. Who the **** would make a blanket statement about a group of people that large?Quote:

Right, because no one ever speaks in general terms.Quote:

When they do, they generally don't say it in a way that leaves no other options. For example, you later said "Boston fans are generally jerks." That's speaking in general terms. "Boston fans ARE jerks, PERIOD" is not speaking in general terms.Quote:
