Regardless of the reasoning behind it, we do find it offensive when you use his middle name, just as you find it offensive when someone uses the term doberman. We've asked you to stop. We've explained that we find the manor in which you refer to him offensive.

What does it matter who finds the term offensive? The fact is you are intentionally offending many people on this board through your stubborn insistence of referring to him in this manor. When you told me you found the term doberman offensive, i stopped using it, as did most other people on this board. when we tell you we find something offensive, you should show us the same courtesy and respect.

As for calling it to your face, if we ever meet i will. gladly. while i will refrain from doing so here in an attempt to keep the conversation polite, i do find the comparison very apt. You're stubborn, make civil discussions personal, and have no apparent sense of decency, just like most dobermans i know.

You still dont get it. And I would respect that you would not call me doberman to my face, i wish that people would not use the internet to do things they would not do in person.

Ban him already. In what way is his behavior different than any other troll except for the fact he's been here longer? And maybe owns a Prius. None of that gives him carte blanche.

(And you'd be surprised what I'd say face to face. I'm exceptionally polite on the internet.)

Out of the mouth of babes come the most amazing things. lets see, you insult and slander me and you want the administrators to ban me - sounds like a great mind at work. easy, do what any grown up could do, ignore me You get carte blanche to insult people - who died and made you God? I forgot, you know whats best for everyone.

Evan, the only thing I can think of is that perhaps Berman is a Jewish surname? I don't have the slightest clue, but that's the only thing I can think of that would make the insult anti-Semitic in any way, and even then, I think it's quite a stretch. :huh:

I absolutely don't think anyone in this thread thought it was an anti-Semitic insult except Mr. Berman himself. If such a 'doggy' insult had been applied to my surname, I would hardly think of it as an insult against the Irish, so regardless, I think he's being a bit oversensitive (or just using it as a smokescreen for his own silliness) about the whole thing.

Deliberately referring to Mr. Obama by his middle name, though, is an attempt to associate him with an infamous character, thereby insinuating that he, too, is of unsavory character. The doberman insult is childish, but no more childish than the intent of Mr. Berman when he wrote his post. And I thought the 'doberman' post illustrated that well.

Now, I'm just waiting on an exhilirating round of "I know you are, but what am I?"
