IF you were to READ the context of the "dialogue" between this particular poster and myself, 
anyone with reasonable senses, would determine that the word "wooze" hardly qualifies 
as calling people names. I think you must have the cross-posting, etc., and consequence responses
attributed to me by mistake. What an idiotic! :-)

WRONG, maggot breath! :-) Again YOUR logic is totally mis-contrued! Give me the liberty to relate 
a "short true story" regarding my last name (which I am very proud to have): When I joined the service 
(boot camp), after about a week, we all started to receive our mail.  The Drill Instructor starting 
passing out the mail by our last names. He called out, "Williams, Davis, Benafield, Gloria...GLORIA!"
We were all bascially standing/sitting in a semi-circle around him, eagerly awaiting to receive
our mail. The DI looks up and says, "GLORIA, step forward!" I respond, "YES SIR, PVT.GLORIA REPORTING
AS ORDERED!" (ahhh, brings back memories)  He then looks me straight in the eye and asks, "Does
anyone ever make fun out of your name?"  I replied, "Sir, NO SIR, NO ONE EVER MAKES FUN OUT OF NAME IN
PERSON, SIR!"  He looks at me, pauses a few seconds and then says, "Oh, OK!"  So, to answer your
question, NEVER in my life has anyone laughed at me, to my face, regarding my last name. So, to
answer your bet, you lose. :-)  When people do call me by my last name, it is typically prefaced with "Mr.",
as in "Mr. Gloria". In the service it was, "Sgt. Gloria".

Hey, John T., don't take life so seriously. What are you a NFL team owner or what? Not only is
this forum used to discuss ANY team and ANY opinions, it should also be infused with some humor.
I will admit, I don't like people who resort to profanity in their posts. I do not use profanity.
The word "whooze" hardly qualifies as name calling. BTW, "sticks and stones might break my bones,
but words will never hurt me, naaah!" :-)
