No, he is not without fault in the conflict between you two, however he has been clear on this thread that he meant no disrespect or insult by what he said. I have never known a "troll" to come out and do that as well as make extra efforts to contact someone privately and ask them to give it a rest. Trolls don't care and that is why they trollpublicly.
To Billybadboy, you are not entirely undeserving of the disrespect you have been Shown byUtahbagpiper. It is Charles and not "Chuck" and he has told you in past threads his thoughts on this. If you really want him to "give it a rest" then show him some respect as you would like him to do for you.
I agree that anonimity can breed incivility as has been said by others in the past so here goes. My name is Curt. I live in Bountiful, and have done so for the past eight years. Prior to that I lived in many areas of the Salt Lake Valley as a newly wed college student. I have three young children, all boys. I have been married for coming up on 12 years but have known my wife for much longer than that. We dated in highschool, and she waited for me while I served an LDS mission in South America. I have a degree in psychology from the U of U and am currently employed by working with children who have been affected by serious physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
Now back to what I am asking for, areturn to civility. "An armed society is a polite society", at least that it what some of us tell the skeptics we meet. Let's make sure that our future posts reflect that. I thank you both for the positive contributions to this site that you have made. Both of you have offered thought provoking posts for me in the past and I hope they will continue. I also hope to meet you both at OC dinners in the future. I have been to a few in the past but have not managed to meet everyone yet.

All,
'Officer Billy' has sent me the following PM.
"chuck,
"what ever your personal issues with me may or may not be, give it a rest.
"I am a delivery driver by the way."
I have responded with a message that reads in part:
I've been very clear about my personal issues with you:
1-You refuse to ID yourself. That is rude and cowardly.
2-You defend the rare, but very bad conduct of a few cops who are hostile to our rights and use the power of their office to infringe those rights.
3-Rather than engaging in honest debate or discussion, you snipe, hit and run, and cower from honest interactions.
My personal message to 'officer billy' goes on to encourage him to improve his conduct on the board or to find another place to play troll. The likes of "cheese" and "officer billy's" conduct to date do NOT add anything positive to the discussion. Billy's defense of the worst of rare, officer conduct does not do any favors for the image of police officers either.
