Post #284,851 by CRConrad 5/17/07 10:14:18 AM Reply	Yup. And you? What, were you trying to be sarcastic or something? So how fucking "thoroughly pleasant" is that?

It's just that even now, after all the years I've been on this board (and off, and lurking, and on, and off, and lurking) your vehemence about nearly everything continues to genuinely surprise me.

Post #284,863 by CRConrad 5/17/07 2:45:08 PM Reply	Huh? What was so particularly "vehement" about that? Just a friendly note, stated in perfectly neutral terms, about using the appropriate medium for different kinds of conversations. I must confess that even now, after all the years I've been on this board (and other more or less, or much less, similar places on the 'Net), people's views on what exactly constitutes "vehemence" continue to genuinely surprise me. Really, honestly: What, exactly, is particularly "vehement" about Huh?!? What the fuck do you think this is? You want to have a private conversation with somebody, use a private communication medium, like e-mail. ? I don't see it. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Muricans have now Turned That (election-losing inference) on its Head, embracing the lunatic as long-lost brother. We may draw our own conclusions about karma, coming due, about now. ..but I digress.
