In defense of Bull the first insult was very broad based and intended for
99% mof the list.

Hey what good for the goose is good for the gander. Dish it out to all
expect it from all. Simple old fashioned justice.

True, if threads died out like that.

Hey it's one thing to do it once or twice and then calm down even MC23 did that.

Because they are used in the loosest sense of the paragraphs in question
along with creative math 2+2=7.

On this you are completely correct. But id memory serves it didn't get this
personal this quickly in Topcats brief return and when it did people were
just as irrate. As for the latter I've never met Doom.

Ok, but expect people to kick sand back and rub it in as well.
