There is a difference between: "being petty and needing the last word" and: "making a statement, then plugging your ears and humming so you don't have to hear a rebuttal and getting the last word in your own mind" ...which is what Johnathan did. If anything is more typical of being "petty and needing the last word" than making a statement greater than "I will no longer participate in this discussion" and saying "take me off the CC: list", I have no idea what it might be. If Johnathan had simply stated "I will no longer participate in this discussion" instead of taking the low road and "getting his digs in", then I would not have been forced to respond to digs, since they wouldn't have been there. Feel free to respond to this posting with a simple "I will no longer participate in this discussion"... it was Johnathan's statements in addition to his refusal to further participate that I rebutted, not his refusal. If you make no additional statements, unlike Johnathan, I certainly won't post a followup to your response.
