Steph, I wasn't as present in that argument as I was in others, but I totally felt called out myself. It was hard not to. And actually getting into a debate with him (for loose definitions of the term debate) must only have exacerbated it.
But he totally had a List, and was being annoyingly Coy.
I just got to the part where he admitted it was about having a grudge against other posters.
Whatta tool.
Whatta tool.
See? He completely deserved the response he got!
I'm also concluding that the people who are vehemently arguing that there is no! such! thing! as! tone! in written posts just happen to be the people who are also being the most snide and shitty.
IMO.
That was classic.
Also classic? Later in the thread, we were linked to in a newspaper article, and I made a post essential identical to Jesse "Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft" Feb 24, 2010 2:01:36 pm PST It cracks me up that I have no new ideas in six years.

How can there be no tone? I...I don't understand.

I think I have fewer ideas now.
Hey, I don't think we've wished Cindy happy birthday yet, have we?? She's a Natterer, too, right?
Happy Birthday Cindy! And thanks for all of the great recaps!
