ok, i have to say something here..and if people hate me for it so be it...i can see why flmmm feels as he does. he is not the sole bad guy here. yes, he got a little emotional early on in his thread, but he didn't put anyone down. then chemist said:

this comment was completely unnecessary. anyone who does not think that is insulting needs to get their head examined. if someone said that to you, wouldn't you be pissed? chemist and larry had already responded to what flmm had said. and that was fine. there was no need for this insulting "dig" on chemists's part. it was pretty subtle, so no one seemed to truly catch it and understand that this was a *put-down*. subtle put-downs are very powerful. it was offensive and unnecessarily insulting. there is where flmm became very angry, as no one seemed to notice or care...i am not saying flmm wasn't out of line after this, as he definitrly was, but i am tired of seeing all the blame rest completely on his shoulders. there were two players in this...i know we all like chemist, but he is not perfect, either....
