Is that a personal comment directed at me? I really wish you would stay to topics and facts..... LOL!

Ridiculous.

Of course you can chuckle. It's easy. Quit taking things so serious. I am but a bit of flashing phosphur on a screen to you. No more. Click next, and I cease to exist. Simple. Why would you bother to worry about cyberspace opinions?

So many nuances of conversation are lost over the internet in discussions/arguments/statements that it is barely an acceptable form of communication for a "serious" debate. I may say something deliberately to challenge you, but in cold print you take it as rude. I may say something with a laugh in my voice so you would know I am poking fun at you or prodding you to think about what you said a bit more or slightly differently, but that is all lost on a cold screen.

I certainly hope that in person most of us are slightly different than our on-line personas. More in tune with human emotion and more considerate, if you will, of others "feelings." However, in person, personal comments are observed and made and I guess that would go against the thread rules. hehehe heckuva puzzle.....
