When Tim Sheldon referred to the "fringe element" opposed to ADAGE as "kooks", some are thinking we misunderstood him. He was saying 'Cougs' - as in "Go, Cougs". Could we have misunderstood Tim? Did he think Duff graduated from WSU and was calling him a 'coug'?
The funny thing about words is that each of us may find different meaning in the same word. Take for example, women of a seasoned age and originating from other than Washington State might take exception to being referred to as a "coug" because that's short hand for cougar. Do not call us a cougar. Thems fightin words! We'd rather be called kooks than cougs.
But here's my point for this posting today. Let's all dispense with name calling and begin to have civil conversations with each other especially when we disagree. You and I should set an example for our children and our elected officials.
