No, clearly there IS a problem and someone is out of line. I never posted anything against you, nor against Mr. Ayoob (a true professional, who has contributed significantly both as a subject matter expert, and as a sworn officer who has earned 100% of my respect). I don't know or have I ever met anyone by the name of Givens. I also try not to post anything about anyone that I would not say to his or her face, so I sure wouldn't be dancing around and using terms like juvenile and snide. Humor is a necessary part of life- I have used it as an instructor to keep my students engaged. Even in "serious" training. In fact, even in life-or-death situations, it almost always seems to come out. I'm sure there are Veterans and LE types who could talk for hours about this very subject and their experiences. Judging from the feedback, it looks like a few people thought my post was worthwhile or funny, maybe both. I was able to accomplish that without verbally sniping at anyone. Take a chill pill and quit taking yourself so seriously.
