No one will doubt your word, Laz, not in a million years.

<<One person eloquently likened the thread to a corner bar and the person who the bar's regulars might want to exclude as the foolish drunk on the stool at the end who is always shouting obnoxious nonsense and just generally making a fool of himself.>>
It appears there are people who feel that that is exactly what is happening here.

As for obnoxiousness, we've all been guilty of THAT. I sure have. I blame society.

ARE YOU ALL NUTS????

Why should anything that anyone says on any thread demand such deliberation? Just ignore his/her words and go on with your day. No need to put someone on ignore...just don't respond!

We all find ourselves in social situations when someone says something outrageous or inane. We simply roll our eyes and move on to continue our discussion without them. This would be like opening the door and throwing him/her out. Civil people act civilly!
