My use of "you" was intended to be singular, directed at Tom.
One of the faults of the English language is a lack of clarity on Second Person Plural. In Pittsburghese it's "yinz," in other areas it's "y'all" but neither is considered good standard English. Maybe that's a standard that should change?

While I give a bit of extra respect to most of the "elderly" in most situations, my treatment of people here is based on their posts. Period.

Is it acceptable for me to spend Lent practicing my insults on them?

I think you can get all the practice you need using Tom. Tom's posts constitute what military folk call a "target rich environment."
