Nah! (or is that gnaw?LOL) If we were playing chess, I'd resign. I just dropped in for a little agitation. Thought maybe I'd appeal to common sense through politeness. But that didn't work. Guess I'll just let her have her way. She seems to want it so much. Time for another Corona and Lime. G'nite

Joan, may I add to your request, no more religion remarks of any kind? So -- what's Bradley's next move after the Vice Pretender gets routed? MM

You folks post too much to SI. That's the real problem here, basically.

You allow yourselves to get too sucked in, too involved, too wired, too hyped, all those negative vibes zapping you relentlessly all day long from deep inside your computer, so that by late in the evening your brains are all frizzled and frazzled, your clenched teeth have been ground down to the bone, your hair is standing on end as if you had just been electrocuted, and you are going cross-eyed from staring into the monitor, doing virtual battle with ghosts who disappear when you try to touch them, while there in the background, ignored, someone, a real solid 3-D person, is saying, tentatively, "John (or Mary, or Sue, or Bill)? Uhh...can you hear me?....Uhmm...are you coming to bed? Ever again? John?"

Gee, that was a fun sentence. Pity I couldn't make it longer.

Anyway, quite seriously, I do suggest cutting down. If you make a vow to cut down from your usual say, 50 posts a day to 10, or better yet,to 5, you won't want to waste your posts on pissing contests or poison dart tourneys or the like. And you might actually write something that someone else might want to read.
