Phyllis,
Unlike others on this board I really don't care if you are a member, non member, stay a member, join or what have you. If you should quit our organization because of what you "think" that Archie was insulting you it will be your loss. Archie is many things but I know he was not insulting Italians with his statement.
How do I know this? My first wife was an Italian from Harrison, New York. I learned much about Italians during the nine years I was married to her.
I am absolutely postive Archie Black meant no insult. If you feel differently that is your right.
I attempted to give you a different perspective involving myself. Since you don't care and wish to be the authority on what constitutes insult I guess there is nothing more I can add or share with you.
I have no quarrel with you nor do I wish too. I am sorry your emotion about Archie's post doesn't allow for other possibilities than an insult. I would be curious to know what others who remain silent believe.
Have a nice day!
Best, Mr."P"
