End result = overall insult to people's intelligence. Lurk: Off, I love ya like a brother, but this doesn't pass the smell test. If it looks like an insult and sounds like an insult, it probably IS an insult, no matter how you try to dress it up. And for the record, when I made the statement to the effect, "Off, I just love to push your anger button", it was in this context- in my very humble, limited view, you are quite predictable. So that I have learned that expressing an opinion which is not in 85% agreement with your opinion, is likely to attract some kind of vehement response, usually in the form of a flame. I have no desire to upset you. I like you. But I gotta say, that fuse seems awfully short. The funny thing about Off – I knew him when he was in Fairfield – is that he comes across as this sweet, gentle, mild-mannered fellow. Maybe if I had hung out with him I would have gotten to know the fiery Scotsman we see here. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
