Thanks for this.

P.S. I hope this will also apply to mods - one of whom loves provoking the **** out of me any chance he gets. No boo hoo needed. But it's a fact.
I hate to say it, but that makes you more of a target. That doesn't apply just to you, but anyone really. If they know you get upset easily they are going take advantage of that every time and pull your chain more, to get a reaction. Face it, no matter what people do they generally take the course of less resistances. If you're offering no resistance when it comes to their trolling and taking the bait every time, then it you'll always be considered an easy target. I know you probably want to scream "Stop!" and have it stop, but it won't till you stop over-reacting to them.

I'm making a very real effort to work on it Neo. It's true that the older you get, the more stubborn and set in your ways you become. I've taken 2 showers in WD40 to try and regain some emotional pliability.

*Sh1t is tough to towel down from though.....*

I truly hope that 6 months from now you'll all notice the difference. I like it here. I just have to stay out of the Skid Row back and fourths.

Surprisingly, no. Page 2 ends with a really poignant video that gets the point of the thread across.

I guess I'll just expect a shift at any page from now on.

Page 2? I don't know how many posts display per page for you, but that's page 15 for me!

Anyway, it seems to start when I had my meltdown over Batty maligning my sister. Post 160. Knock yourself out.
Some good readin' in there. Most of which I am NOT proud of having written.

Really? Is there a way for me to change how many posts I want displayed?

Actually, again, from what I can tell that still says pretty on topic. You open a dialogue that goes on for at least a page regarding AIDS related comments. It may have been in reference to an entirely different discussion but that discussion was pertinent to the matter at hand and people took it seriously.

To be honest I would have thought so, but I checked the user CP and there's no option, nor is there one in the thread options. I know Frownland, I think, sees about half as many posts as I do per page, but maybe that's because he's a mod? Or maybe it's dependent on your browser? I never set anything up, and I can't see any way to change it, but someone else might know.
