I'm glad a few of our board members commented that the punch was not the best response. I'm sorry to gripe about the 'guy response' here guys, but it boggles my mind that any adult considers physical force, (excluding self defense and mutual assured destruction), as a method of resolving conflict.

I understand the reponse, the loss of control, all that aspect. But, come on, wouldn't a "you're an idiot" have been more effective? How about, "get a degree in geology, study the Moon rocks we brought back, and then come talk to me".

Losing contol just looks so dumb. Getting the upper hand with intelligent witty comments seems soooo much better.

PS: BA, I hope you were being sarcastic with the 'breaking news' title. Egad, I can't be the only one laughing everytime I hear that term. Are the folks selling the news such idiots they think we believe it or are the folks watching the news that dumb they do believe it?

Oh, I'm just so negative here. Well, maybe if I don't make a habit of it.....
