Really? My grandmother taught me, "if you have nothing nice to say
about someone you shouldn't say anything at all." It was good advice
then, its good advice now.

You say more about yourself when you attack a person than you do the

low-class?

Check again - I disagree with virtually everyone. Sometimes for fun. I
don't "boo" though. I don't "yell down" a speaker. I don't act
"low-class".
