You don't read as many posts as you write, and when you do, you don't pick up nuance.

I don't have any issue with people having an argument about who is mean, and who is a martyr...or any of that stuff.... that kind of thing is typically contained within a thread or two.

Picture the politics and CE threads as a house full of rooms(threads). Now picture Peter Griffith and the Chicken fighting in that house.

Right. We have different perceptions of the same events. Happens all the time. So I think maybe what you see as inconsistencies is really your expectation that people will respond to things according to your perception, instead of theirs. It's not that you missed the meeting where the responses were planned.

Well, I don't mind being wrong. In this instance, I am sorry, but knowing what I've seen between those two that response was meant to be dismissive (in my opinion.) Note that I let it go until Flint had to explain what a crybaby spexx is.

Even spexx has feelings and deserves a modicum of respect, don't you think?

The problem still holds true..

Recently started a thread that devolved quickly into penis size comments,thread destruction in 1 hour tops. Right after I thought how great it was and refreshing to have a legitimate discussion at hand.

cic,
yes... i should have said 'that is the problem as I see it'. I used past tense because I was reminding people about the initial post, and what I was thinking when I wrote it.

but, clearly, as you say....nothing has changed.

About as dismissive of a view point as the original post. Neither comment being anything to get pissed off about though...

(apologies to Yosemite Sam. I don't know no geology, so I don't know if it should be west or east or south or north or even what the Pecos are. Is it like a mexican dish?)

And that is honest, and your right. We all have those we are done with. Well maybe not ALL of us, but a lot of us. This is normal humanness.
