Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 293474, member: 780"] CF's comments don't exactly sound like the "crime of the century" to me. But you were there and you had some skin in this game so I'll take your word for it. But I will say this. There's a huge difference between being 20 and being 50. By the time you are 50, you have figured out what to say and what not to say. You have found out --- possibly through trial and error --- that just because something pops into you head, it doesn't mean that you have to say the words. You develop a buffer that allows you to think, "If I say this, is anybody going to take this the wrong way?" Am I going to offend anyone?" What's the saying? It's better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you may be an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. [/QUOTE]
