If it is none of my #$%^&$! business where you eat lunch, why do you out of the blue, with no prior reference, and addressed to no one in particular, write, "Dont know about you all, but I just had my first lunch at In and Out Tennessee"? Are you really going to deny that you are inviting "you all" to respond to your post? You made it my business. This is a message board. People respond to other people's posts. You dont get to decide who can and who cant respond to your posts. It doesnt work that way. And if where you eat your hamburger is such a privacy issue for you, maybe you shouldnt be posting about it on a message board in the first place.

2.Your premise is wrong due to your assumption. I wasnt deciding where you should have gone. I was inquiring why you chose what you did, because in your place, if I was in Memphis, choosing top notch BBQ over a chain restaurant hamburger is a no-brainer. And even if you interpret it the way you did, is that any reason for you to go postal about it? So youre the one who is in the wrong for responding in an inappropriate way (that it is none of my $%&!$&! business) to my innocuous comment. My comment was in no way, shape or form a "shot" at you. On the other hand, telling someone to mind their own $%&@!$%^ business IS taking a shot at someone, particularly when you were the one who put out a comment worded in a way that invites people to respond in the first place.

3. If you think "Why bother with that if you can go to Blues City Cafe or Corky's?" is taking a shot at you, which you clearly do, then your perception is warped. Amazing how I was able to impugn your integrity and insult your ancestors with that one line. Must have been some dog whistle in there that you heard. And then you have the nerve to tell me to "grow the $#%^ up".

4. And I wasnt revising history. I found the fact that you were having a hissy fit over that comment so hilarious that I responded with an irreverent remark to help you along. I decided to shift gears on you because my focus was no longer ferreting out the mystery-shrouded rationale behind your lunch choices. I felt that the prospect of keeping you going had much greater potential for entertainment value.

5. You were in the wrong and should apologize.

Excuse me for not living up to your choice for MY meal.
