Rambling, eh? Not hardly! <VBG>

Your points are well taken, dear, and I shall think about them. BTW, if my comments might have been taken as insulting or provocative, it was not my intent; I truly meant only that it felt eerie watching. You know, there are times when I rather wish that SI Bob could turn this whole thread down for a day so that we could all appreciate what a special place it is.

Your sharing what happened to you on the original thread certainly strikes a chord for me and, I am sure, for lots of us. It is really astonishing how differently a posting can be read by different people and how differently from the poster's intent. That you should be subjected to bad mouthing is amazing, but anything is possible!

As for the adrenaline rush that goes with verbal jousting, it can be great fun in an argument. I have felt it myself when engaging Terry in a free-for-all; but Terry and I remain friends in the midst of a spirited debate. I imagine that some people feel it in the midst of more personal scuffles as well, although I just start to feel sick. It is worthwhile to remember that I am only myself and that my reactions are not everyone's. Thank you.
