There ya go. I'd like to draw a distinction, though, between those who like a little ribbing, and those who like the feeling of "ribbed" or "lubed", like TWN. I give crap to folks in direct proportion to how fond I am of having them around.
I view this forum much like a cocktail party, or any other kind of party, for that matter. If I find myself in a conversation that bores, or, more rarely, offends, I turn my back and go find another conversation. I don't leave the party. Moreover, I don't ever find myself announcing to the entire party that I'm "sensing some anger", and I'd really like it if everyone had the kind of party that I like, and the conversations that I like, or I might have to leave. I'm really sick of the least common denominator. I mean really sick of it.
