And not a bad one, Kerry. Perhaps your right. I'm not sure. It seems to me that, just as in life in general, so it will be here, that there will be morons (clever insertion of keyword here) coming from all viewpoints, backgrounds, and attitudes. Forgive me for stating the obvious, but I really feel it has to do with how you were brought up, how happy you are with yourself in general (self-image, self-esteem, etc.), and also whether you EVER learned any manners. We all (most of us) learn early in life that it behooves us (for many reasons) to act with civility toward our fellow man, and that honest disagreement is no cause to break that rule. Some don't live by that rule, and to be sure, some of them will find their way into an online community. What adds to the problem is that they can then hide behind the keyboard and spew venom with no consequences, other than maybe becoming the target of like kind exchanges back at them. If the heat gets bad enough, they can just slink off, never to be heard from, or just change their handle. In any event, this isn't a thread to psychoanalyze these idiots, so forgive me again for digressing. Let's have fun with this thread, and make fun about them behind their backs.....<g> We all know they will find their way here........
