Yes, I am being snotty at you, because you are irritating me, and I have very little reason not to be.

This is just making a conscious choice to be mean to another poster. I am really trying to learn here, but replies like this make it quite difficult. I'll take a break.

In retrospect, I wonder if we should have just had a politics thread and declared the rest of the board off limits to political discussion.

mmphhhhhh mmmphhhhhh

t hand firmly on mouth

Yes, Wolfram, I concede that you might have been right on the need for one.

Though the not having one was still grandfathered in. ;-)

I am asking that it stop.

Apparently so.

And look, Wolfram and myself taking time to post and say we don't like it.

Others may choose to see themselves as inside or outside a power center. I do not. My voice counts here as much as anyone elses. If my dear friend Shawn wants to come back and debate with me, she will (I won't be home tonight so it'll have to wait until tomorrow). If she insults me, gets offensive, or breaks any other rules, I WILL ask her to be warned, and she knows that I will.

Since being mean or snotty or just not nice is not something that I think is warnable. I, as a free-thinking in control of my happiness here and anywhere else person, will ignore any posts that take that tone with me. They have nothing to do with me.

EEEEeeeeek!

I know. I'm waiting for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.

You do live in SoCal. It's a possiblity.

Yeah, do not be tempting the Earthquakes of Fate.

If I vanish suddenly, you'll all know why.

Quick! Kristen, go stand outside the offices of Fox's programming executives and say it again!
