When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the fire department generally uses water.

I know you're being facetious but for the record [and the uninformed]...

we use water on some fires, foam on others, and indeed for a forest fire you can use fire to fight fire by ridding the area that the fire is heading of fuel in a 'controlled' burn. [controlled being a liberal work for 'fire that is not out of control yet']

:D

Thanks for the education, I hope those who read it understood my point. I am not sure I understand it myself. Foam sounds like it could be fun (grin) but I think I was making a reference to forgiveness or taking the high road.

yeah, I figured you were.

And it was a great way to make the point. I just had to be a smart-ass.
