I was probably the one responsible for Ceppa coming up with that rule. Prior
to him banning me outright from here long ago, we were having an *exchange*
over some subject or other on which I held a different view than he did.


Ceppa couldn't just have a discussion with you. He had to include snide little
insults in his comments and opinions. Like Klahn and Wilson, he wasn't
satisfied with just making a counter point to your argument. He had to do so
in a way that implied that `you' were stupid, or were inferior to him.


He just wasn't very good at it. Too heavy-handed.


At some point, not being able to think of one of his little insults, he ended
his message by addressing me as "Timmie".


It was a carry-over from the fiery days of Holysmoke, where I used to be
addressed as "widdle Timmie".


Well......when I replied to Ceppa I ended the post with "Danny-boy"!


I don't have to tell you it was not a day or so that Ceppa had revised the
rules to forbid the use of any variation of someone's name!


Ceppa could dish it out just fine, but he couldn't take it in return. Where I
do not wish him any harm or ill fortune, I also do not miss him. I for one am
glad he is no longer here.
