This seems to be the way things are going lately.
This is one of two hobby forums I frequent, and in both cases it seems that there are many who use the anonymity to get more heated than they would face to face. I think this is similar to the motivation behind road rage. I am prone to going from 0-90 in one second flat when someone right hooks me, or says something that I think is stupid, or just plain wrong. It's not as bad in the forums since the act of typing gives me time to think a little more. Also the horn on your car doesn't have an
edit button.
I'm working on it.

I've noticed this. I've said things meant to be tongue in cheek, that were misconstrued. I had an earlier minor dust up in here with Beanz, then we met in person, kissed and made up.

I don't always, or often miss something (D'oh!)
