Why thank you Don Juan de la Marca.

Busy day on the forum I see!

Ignorant labelling again?  That is laughable.  Me and my former boss can't be 
the only two here that speaks their mind, if you think so, surely you haven't 
been reading this forum for very long!  (I just reread Doc's last posting and 
what is offensive about that?  Good advice and no slamming there!)

Why let anyone on this forum get to you?  If so, then it is being taken much 
more to heart than is healthy.  This forum would be quite bland and not worth 
revisiting if anyone with an opinion spoke it and that was the one and only 
correct point of view.

A good argument is just that, but keep it above the waist and refrain from 
sophomoric name calling and finger point accusations.  What a place to learn 
something new and/or walk a mile in another's shoes in a different country or 
continent that is in the same line of work!

If you apply the characteristics/attributes to a single profession, as Kdiddy 
did with teachers and doctors:  My question is a real one to consider -- are 
all bartenders, just bartenders?  And what is wrong with them continuing to do 
so long after college studies?  Are all female bartenders sluts (borrowing 
from another posting)?  Are all bartenders thieves or lushes?  Does that make 
you understand the dangers of saying silly things like all teachers and 
doctors are bad tippers?  Myopic, short sightedness and a bit salty.

That is the essence of what I am getting at.  Like it or not, I don't really 
care.  I just find it offensive to label a whole profession of individuals as, 
well anything, or "cheap" in Kdiddy's instance here.  There are plenty of 
surprises if you took the chance to allow an open mind.

And to quote a friend of mine (seems to be the latest trend in my life) but I 
almost wrote it without knowing he in fact did say this, so I best give credit 
where credit is due.  "I write the way I do about the thoughts I have 
regarding the topics presented." - Queneau69
