: 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
