Hillary Clinton also used iPad for e-mail

[merrily]

95. no, morningfog said the screen name HERVEPA looks like the word "herpes"

This was morningfog's entire response to an unprovoked personal insult from HERVEPA in reponse to morningfog's daring to post an OP critical of Hillary:

Still morning here. I do have to smile at A person with a screen name that always first reads as "herpes" making a name yuck yuck.

HERPEVA insulted the intelligence (or whatever) of a human for no good reason and, in retaliation, morningfog insulted (gasp) the screen name of a poster who had just insulted morningfog for no good reason.

"24 hour fog" = An insult, with no basis in reality.

The clear implication was that morningfog always suffers from mental fog. I don't understand why you say that has no basis in reality.

Clouding of consciousness, also known as brain fog or mental fog,[1][2][3][4][5] is a term used in conventional medicine denoting an abnormality in the "regulation" of the "overall level"[6] of consciousness that is mild and less severe than a delirium. The sufferer experiences a subjective sensation of mental clouding described as feeling "foggy".[7]

"Herpes" = A disease which effects millions and causes a social stigma for those affected.

Again, morningfog did not give the poster herpes, or say the poster had herpes or was like herpes. morningfog said he or she had to smile at being insulted by a poster whose screen name resembles the word "herpes."

I should just sit there and watch? [/

Under the actual circumstances, that would not, by any means, have been the ridiculous option you seem to think it would have been. If you felt compelled to speak anyway, you could have chided them both or only HERPEVA, for firing the first shot without provocation.

I hurled no insult

Really? Implying morningfog is not classy is not insulting? Expressing joy that morningfog might have a sleepless night is not insulting?

would you rather I alert and just hide behind the scenes

I think we can agree on something after all: Alerting on morningfog for replying to an unprovoked personal insult by (gasp) mocking the insulter's screen name would never have resulted in a hide (but might have resulted in some insults and scoldings from the jurors to the alerter).

it's better to just tell people when their words are hurtful.

Glad you feel that way because that was the reason for my posts to you. Well, that and I am sick of unprovoked personal attacks.

However, I am sorry you cannot see the fault of anyone but morningfog in this, though. Most people blame the one who fires the first shot with no good reason, not the one who defends herself or himself with a mild response.
