I left stlhdH20 out because I actually like stlhdH20. Despite the fact that we don't agree on many political issues--I actually have come to enjoy the way he makes his political points with caustic wit and a sense of humor.

You'll note that I said there was a difference between attacking a persons politics and personally attacking someone because of their politics.

It was JLH's hateful and threatening post towards my honor and religious convictions that lit my fuse!

As for your other questions, I've never hit a women in anger and I love my dog dearly.

BTW--No 6'10" 300 lbs. 5th degree Black Belt showed up this morning to teach me a lesson on bravery, honor, fishing or anything else--high tide was at 7:21 and there were seven kings caught before 8:30 AM
