[Vision2020] Pot calling kettle..

[Donovan Arnold]

Carl,

You are right I did say "You are so stupid" to someone. I probably should 
not have done that. But what else do you say to someone that does not know 
alcohol is a drug? I probably would have said "ignorant" instead but since 
he just personally insulted me ten times and posted a private post in a 
public forum, I did not feel like censoring. Ignorant would have been a 
better term. My Bad. I apologize to anyone who is offended by the public use 
of the term "Stupid".

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold

>>Carl,
