Hence the label. And I'm not blaming you for personal attacks, I'm blaming your for getting your shorts in a wad. You've demonstrated thin skin, no humor (noted by I45 above), and a what appears to be a predilection for being "disrespected." I see you disagreeing as much or more with the way people say things than what they are saying.

There is a lot of sarcasm and snarkyness on this board. And there is plenty of disagreement, often to extremes. But the kind of thin skin you are exhibiting is quite rare. Your posting behavior here gives the impression that you jumped on to the board without, as Lord Stanley implies above, spending much time just reading to get a feel for the posters, writing styles, and general attitude here. I can't help but think that if you had, you would know that you are having difficulties with posters that actually agree with some of the substance of your posts. Or, that perhaps this isn't the best place for you to be spending your time. And no, I'm not asking you to leave - I'm suggesting that you just take a breath and count to 10 the next time you think you feel offended.

And come on, didn't you think that pic was funny?

Thank you for the long post about me. The next time I feel like I'm lacking in introspection, I'll come looking for you.

Chalk this one up as just another place you visited and couldn't make any friends.

Gil - please accept my apologies ... I frankly didn't your reaction. In deference to you, I've posted a new feature request on you behalf - I hope this helps.

You, sir, are a genius.

Thanks. If everyone turns out to be a big of an a$$hat as you are, I'll probably need it.

You should use that ignore everyone button and save yourself a fortune on tissues.
