Tom, chill, yo. You've posted here a long time. We all know you're old and cranky. It's OK. I'm young and bitchy. It's how we roll. I really don't think any serious slight was intended.

Seriously, like I said earlier, I probably come of as young selfish and self centered adult in this thread, and if someone thought of me as that I wouldn't think of them as a bigot.

Bingo.

When I heard your complaints and dressy's I didn't think "These are old people" I thought "They sound like GRUMPY old people." There are plenty of older aged people that are not grumpy. If you always associate old with grumpy than that sounds more like your problem than mine.
Agreed 100%.

I also dislike people who put words in my mouth, as irishtom likes to do consistently, saying "You are implying..." when I was *NOT* implying anything.

What was it you weren't implying? When was it you weren't implying it?

Mod deleted the posts in this thread for one example.

Another example was when I insisted I live in the "near northwest side" and you kept saying I was trying to imply I was a north sider for fear of being labeled a west sider, to which I finally, exasperated, replied "I'd be a proud west sider, *if* i lived on the west side, but I do not."

You are twisting words again in this thread by saying we're old people bigots and we think old people's opinions don't count, when nobody ever said that.
