944 Larry, respectfully, bar room/water cooler banter as I refer to it on the internet is the last place to feel safe or feel invincible. Unlike the water cooler or bar room, on the internet it is there for ALL to see and ALL to retrieve at a later point in time. Those 20th century folks who hid behind the bar or water cooler were dildos in comparison as it only went as far as the bar or water cooler. With e-mail, texting, and internet, if you say something, you can pretty much assume that it's there for a long, long time. Plenty of time to mine, filter, check, cross-check, and identify, and well use it against you, like putting a foot sideways up one's bung-hole.

That's why my M.O. is never say something you wouldn't say to the public or someone's face. Note: that pretty much means I have no future as a politician due to my say it like it is attitude.

I see your point here. I guess the net hasn't been around long enough for some of this stuff to come back and get you 25 years later. Basically I was thinking of the old knock-down drag-outs you used to see. I haven't seen a fist fight or a really good lively argument in public in years. I'm not counting the net or TrueTV here! Your MO seems like a sound policy to me.
