Surprisingly, no one's ever gotten as personal with me as they have with you, PB, etc.
Or maybe I'm just better at not noticing it when they do. After all, in real-life, I'm often accused of many crimes I never meant to commit because of my bluntness. (Most common accusation is that I'm making a personal judgement about someone {ie: They're stupid, lazy, lying, what-have-you} when I'm merely observing a fact or explaining something {"I found a mangled spoon in the disposal. Make sure you check it before you run it." does NOT mean "How dare you mangle a spoon in the disposal, you Idiot!" But try to convince some people of that!)
So it really seems amazing that it hasn't happened on the forums yet.
But I'm not giving up on the old stomping ground. If nothing else, newbies show up every day, and SOMEONE has to be there for them!
