I finally read some of the posts that this little " tempest in a tea pot" had and I have to say it always amuses me when people come in and make inflammatory remarks based on incorrect assuptions. I guess that there are just some really weird people that have reptiles that have absolutely no social life or ability to communicate effectively with other people. I think the word I am looking for is: eccentric (sic). Which is a nice way of saying " having psychotic or sociopathic tendencies ". These folks just can't have a normal "give and take" conversation, but have to have a "I am right and your are wrong" confrontation all the time. In fact they look for any excuse to have a "confrontation". Even if the conversation isn't directed to them ( I am talking both on line and in real life encounters ).

What I find interesting is that in almost every instance the instigator of the confrontation bails out at the last minute ( this is where the last digs comes in ) with a rather poetic and dramatic exit that includes a weak rationalization of their position and a statement that they "ain't comin here again " (ie: "I am taking my toys and going home"). Gee, why is that ? Well, let's take a look: They saw an opportunity, they came, they flamed, they squeaked out they're little reason for existence, now it's time to go find another opportunity.

Anyway, that's my diatribe of observation and philosophy this morning. " I think, therefore I am ". Cliff
