Yes it could. When a moderator calls a member a slang word for a prostitute, it could very well get interesting.

He was quoting Clint Eastwood. I really don't think it was directed AT you. Don't take it so personally.

Calm down. It says right there in the definition that prostitute is archaic. Combined with the "feeling lucky" part, it's pure Eastwood. Like saying, "Go ahead, make my day."


Which is probably what he should have used for an expression.

So my post being quoted in his post means that its not directed at me? Boy, you must be a lawyer.

I worked for a while in a prison, not a nice place. The word "punk" is not tossed around there lightly because the "punks" bend over for the population. Its not a nice word to toss in someone's direction...

Joe, I was really surprised at how you reacted to that post.

while it may not have been very smooth I'm pretty sure Z didn't mean anything derogitory or insulting at all.
It was simply a dirty harry quote he used to indicate that if someone tried to break the rules and got caught they'd get punished, and then he basically asked if you think you'd get away with it or do you think it would be worth the risk.

Its really laughable how you guys try to "poo-poo" it as if its nothing when if something like this happened in your direction, especially you Sammy, you would have an immediate response as I did.

You see, the z man and I have some history and he has in the past removed or censored posts that I have done, while leaving the same sort of thing posted by other members in place. Even got to the point after happening numerous times where I finally fired an email up to the "head shed" and was told that after looking things over they agreed and that they would try to get him to treat me fairly in the future. It seems that someone forgot to tell him...

You're right, me too. Still, it was a bad choice of words. If it had been just a little more direct, I could see your point entirely.

Oh come on Joe, I caught the Dirty Harry reference right off. I'm sure Z-man was alluding to this quote:

Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Good lord, Joe, I thought you were going to come back with some humor; you did, after all, state that you could manage to beat the system, knew how to log in with multiple whatevers.

Z used a movie quote.

This is a web forum, Joe...holding an electronic grudge doesn't become you.

Why would someone need an alternate logon unless for deceptive purposes?

In order to hijack away from the nastiness

I'll change the topic to how great a Bullitt Mustang is...much better suited to today's driving than my old 911S ever was... Faster, more comfortable, and easier to drive.

Sidney has a secret desire for one...
