Be that as it may, it is still no call for threats of gunplay! That is NOT funny. I take such things very seriously.
So let me see if I've got this right. Threatening to slap someone is okay,
I said "he deserves a slapping". I never volunteered to carry that out. And, furthermore, I meant a verbal slapping, something akin to what is already happening with the good Doctor's attacks. Sorry about the metaphor. God damn, must I overstate the obvious? What pissed me off is: After I received this letter I sent several olive branches. No reply. No discussion. Just leave it with his weapon drawn? On my open and empty hand!? That's not me.
but threatening to defend one's self from such an attack is not okay? Interesting. I guess the old saying still applies, "the essence of humor is WHOSE ox is being gored."

And Tim never threatened Ross. He merely posited an "if, than" response to a hypothetical assault. If Ross does no slapping, Tim won't shoot him. QED. No reason to get bent out of shape. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
