I do not know why any normally occupied adult would encourage or require other adults to get into silly internet spats. To get in to fights oneself, on one's own hook, is childish enough- but to go about fomenting trouble, or listening to those who foment it, is surely the mark of a childish and unoccupied mind. It is an absolutely ridiculous waste of time. We could, after all, be sharing recipes, discussing football, perversions, pets (sometimes the same thing as perversions), good books, good wines, good films, and favorite restaurants and trips. It is sad there are those who would be nasty for nastiness's own sake, and probably out of sheer boredom. But you can do better, obviously, and so can we. I have not recommended this movie yet to Coug, so let me recommend it first to you- Danny Deckchair- very nice little movie set in Australia, about people who try for positive action in their lives. Many people on SI would do well to rent it, and emulate it (even if it did them no good whatsoever in the character department, if they emulate the main character, at least they'd spare the rest of us for a good long time.).

Gee, Wharf Rat, why would you want to piss me off? Did someone send you over here on a weird mission or something? That is very strange. I guess some people have way too much idle time on their hands, or too little going on in their lives. The whole idea seems silly and juvenile to me. It really isn't that easy a mission. These are the Feelies rules, designed so people of all political afflictions--um I mean affiliations--can post here without being unduly attacked. So everyone feels safe, you know? Terms of Use: All opinions are welcome here. However, name calling, character assassination, reliving the past just to stir up trouble, and foul, uncivil behavior in general are not. I do not like to ban people, and I will give you a warning about unacceptable posts unless the behavior is just horrendous. Please express your feelings without destroying others. Now I don't really know you, Wharf Rat, but just from your unassuming name I bet you are a very nice guy. Please stop by and talk whenever you feel like it. There is really no subject here--it is a very general thread. You can talk about anything you like.
