Hi LionKing,
Hi double P

I have to agree with Rhapsody here. I think you guys sort of brought this on yourselves.
I don't know if I would go that far

From the DNA soaked jersey,
I thought that would embarrass him enough to get the message
to the completely inappropriate text message.
The text message in & of it self wasn't in poor taste. It was a blanket text to family & friends & none of them are extreme holy rollers or anything so it wasn't going to offend anyone...
Who the heck would take a joke as a come on?
.. both you and your wife's behavior has been in extremely poor taste.
I respectfully disagree...maybe my jersey thing, but not sending the text message.
Not that I am excusing your friend's behavior.
cool
... but you and your wife's behavior which has been on the level... the very low level of an episode of Jerry Springer..
How, I thought it was blunt & again sending a text message joke isn't going the sensationalized stuff that would get Springer ratings...Now if your of a morality high ground perspective i.e. neo-conservative or something that could account for your over dramatizing of a text message & I would agree that it would have been in poor taste being sent to someone you know would find it offensive but that's hardly the case here.
sort of left the door open for him to act and say the things he has.
Again, no it didn't. except maybe I should have addressed it more aggressively when we were a little younger...
The jersey thing while was certainly done to offend...that was the point....to get the point accrossed in a way that he would understand...basically just breaking it down to a simplistic Freudian level...
How could that be taken as leaving the door open?
From a human psychology stand point that is screaming "back off"?

Just remember this... LionKing... if you hang out with dogs, don't complain if you get fleas.
Unfortunately, his wife is a good person & a good friend, so we just have to buy a flee collar I guess
And if you act like a dog, don't complain if you get fleas either.
errr*ears pearked, head tilted*
Just some food for thought.
