how we can make any attempt to presume to pass judgements on another whom we only “know” via the cyber world?

So, that said the possibility exists that someone can see a flame where there is none.

Damn, and I like having a boner pointed at me.

So tha siad, it's possible to see a flame where ther is none.

It happens every day not only in the cyber world but in the real world. Its a favourite trick used by polititions and labour/union leaders (no I won't dignify eny of them with caps). People are so wrapped up in themselves they can't see past their own fragile self immages.

BONE NOT BONER, thou lusty wench

..

Boner = Slang for a male erection, hard on etc etc etc.

Pointing the Bone = Australian Aboriginal Medicine man weaving death magick and pointing a sacred bone at a person or in the direction where the target is. It has been knows to kill a man who was over 1000 miles away.

Thus pointing the bone is an Australianism for accusing someone of whatever.
