Hey-
This was some friendly banter amongst those involved. Keep it in context and lighten up. If I offended you, I'm sorry. You dont need to jump all over me. I didnt attack you. There's no need for you to attack me.

Please... PLEASE...
Develop some thicker skin and realize we pull everyone's chains here.
EVERYONE'S chains!
If we didn't like we wouldna pull you chain. If someone jumps, or complains in a "Pedantic" manner (as CRC Error) well, just consider it a type of "love fighting"
Or what ever you call Friendly arguing.

Yes, and in this thread . .

Well ...
Who can argue with that logic? Depends on whether you're asking who can argue that that logic is wrong, so equivalent to "argue against that logic"; or if you're asking who can use that logic with which to argue. Similar to the difference between "playing catch with the baby" and "playing catch with the baby". So yeah, we can argue with that logic several different ways.

Maybe some perspective will help.
CRC used to be able to flame like the Usenet trolls of yore. All and sundry were much impressed by his flamage, which became all the more impressive when we realized that he lived in Finland, and didn't speak English as his native language. He's also been quite coherent and has a point to make with his flames in the past.
He mainly takes the time to flame people he actually appreciates - not sure what the Freudian implications of that are, but if you've been flamed by him, you're pretty much guaranteed to be "one of the good guys."
Lately, however, his flames have been lacking a certain something. My guess is that fatherhood has mellowed our CRC a bit, and he just doesn't have the energy to really get ye old napalm chucker rolling any more...

Trust me, you get used to it
Because I think I liked it better when I was a nobody. I used to think that once, but once you become accepted and an actual part of IWT, everything fits into place, and everyone has their place. And well, when any of them are missing, it's just not the same place. Case in point, DeSitter, who left us a while back. Without his take on certain things, certain things seem lacking. Yeah, I know, he bugged all of us at one point or another, but he still contributed enough to be interesting and fill one of the gaps here. CRC is a wonderful person when you get to know him, understand the way he posts, and you might even come to enjoy him, as I have. :) Brenda
