I doubt anyone really gets riled. We have fun with the complaint threads though. I still do not understand why someone would think their retail experience would be of interest to another person. But, such threads always get to be entertaining and it's a challenge to think up different wordings for over used responses. Many of such posts seem to violate rule 10, they are purposeless. Fun but, purposeless as they rarely lead to a solution for the purported problem.
I presume some find a bit of solace in their rants and complaints. I take seriously those complaints where the poster is seeking advice as to how to handle a muffed order. But, most are simply rants and, in some cases, posts designed to trigger entertaining responses. I'll bite on those most every time because they can be entertaining and oft times lead to a spectacular train wreck. Hair, teeth and eyeballs strewn over the rails! How I love a virtual train wreck.
I really do need to get a life!

Harvey,
Your feigned indifference and silly attempts at jabs are indicators that you do, in fact, get offended by the internet. No worries though. You haven't demonstrated enough wit to do much but provide me the occasional distraction from my essay on King Lear.
I am not invested in P&C, but after several years here on the boards, I feel invested in Russ. He is always on here giving great advice and answering questions. He is also here lately doing a lot of damage control.
If there is a bit of social pressure to be put on people to keep inane bullshit off Russ' plate than I will use my thousands of posts (intimidated? Lol) to do so.
Much as you claim not to be offended by the internet, I guarantee you can't come on this forum and try to pass yourself off as some kind of pipe smoking justice warrior with 16 posts and 'I say so.'
Stick around. Demonstrate you are more than yet another noob with an ax to grind against against P&C.
Ball's in your port, er court.
Doing this on the phone, so sorry for errors.
