So? Prove me wrong. Others have. I'm confident that there are people on this list right now who've been on the receiving end of much worse from me.

Sibyl, a list like this is a terrible representation of real communication. There can be no smile, or nod, or happy laughter to show joy. Similarly, there can be no groan, glazed eyes or nervous rigidity to tell you when the conversation is going badly. All you can offer are your words. Take care choosing them, be generous with them, and respect the people you talk to -- give them your best or open up with both barrels, a cannon and a baseball bat. That's all that anyone can really ask.

Whatever problems I have with you are the result of the style and content of your posts, and my comments about you reflect only my judgment of you as you appear to be in this particular forum. I couldn't judge your worth in any other context even if I wanted to. This type of forum simply can't provide the knowledge or experience to do that.

Take a little time to think before you post, and let your writing reflect who you are. I have little doubt that you are better than the names I called you (most rabid hamsters are better than the names I called you), and I would be overjoyed to see you show that with your writing.

Of course, if you want to leave, I surely won't try to stop you. I'm far, far too lazy for that.
