Your posts aren't hostile so I'll ask you because some of these posters really come across as angry in either a direct or a passive way. What strikes me as odd is that they claim they're not angry at all. Am I going mad or something? Some "new" poster wants examples of what I'm referring to. I'm not going to engage him because he has decided a priori that he and others are not hostile. Then he ends his post with a passive-agressive slam. There's nothing wrong with being pissed-off, it's just that you can't have a normal conversation with someone peppering their posts with all this passive-aggressive nonsense. > > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
