And Sean has not shown one drop of remorse.
Call me extra sensitive, but to me wishing someone dead is beyond the
pale. He owes us an apology and must learn to control his temper a
bit.
What the hell is wrong with you? You STILL don't get it??
I have nothing to apologise for! I never 'wished you dead'! All I did was employ a popular and widely understood idiomatic expression that is used as a rhetorical device in heated debate. It was equivalent to 'get bent', or 'bugger off'. To my knowledge, no one who has used the expression '*** off and die' has EVER meant it literally, nor has ANYONE but you ever TAKEN it so literally.
How are you still not understanding this?? Why is it such a difficult concept for you?
This is utterly absurd! What universe are you living in? Does it just not contain the concept of tongue-in-cheek rhetorical expressions?
Helloooooo? Is there anybody in there?
