Jeez, Tinsel. No overwhelming firepower response for you? I thought we were supposed to slaughter their livestock and poison their wells, at the very least. I must have misinterpreted the forum rules. :wink:

Couldn't we just stop people making ugly posts and stop others from getting offended and responding rudely with the same 2 step solution that gets applied to every other problem on the forum?
Step 1: More drying time
Step 2: Smoke slower
Hah! Those two sobriquets apply, metaphorically, to chilling out before making an unfortunate post.
Note: Are people who make such suggestions rude, or are you referring to the rude response to those suggestions?

 
Funny, we adults spend so much time teaching our children that words don't really hurt us, and to turn the cheek, and that the words only reflect the speaker... then we watch a group of adults get bent out of shape over a few words. Whether the poster meant it or not.

I have gotten into some lively debates on here, and sure they went on for pages, but we were arguing ideas or concepts.
There is a plaque on my chiropractor's wall that says, "Great men discuss ideas, average people talk about events, and small minds discuss people." Or something to that effect. I'm not saying that I am great, but at least I try.

I agree, Cosmic. In fact, you are one of the most trying people I know! :rofl:
Just kidding; I can't resist trotting that one out when people say they try.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

When you're perfect in every way.

I can't wait

To look in the mirror.

Cause I get better looking each day.

To know me is to love me.

I must be a hell of a man.

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,

But I'm doing the best that I can.

I used to have a girlfriend,

but I guess she just couldn't compete,

With all of these love-starved women,

Who keep cowering at my feet.

Oh I probably could find me another,

But I guess they're all in awe of me.

Who cares?

I never get lonesome.

Cause I treasure my own company.

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble

When you're perfect in every way.

I can't wait

To look in the mirror.

Cause I get better looking each day.

To know me is to love me.

I must be a hell of a man.

Oh Lord It's hard to be humble,

But I'm… Full of you know what. Dedicated to Cosmic, :rofl:
