    Why does everyone assume I'm angry and am going to blow a gasket? Sorry if I'm a little tired of this stuff as it consistently drags the forum down. Certainly annoyed, but far from angry.

    I say it like I see it.

    Yes I get it, you call names and say forum members are trolls, when you do not get agreement on your own personal set of terms.

    You can state your view maturely, without being rude, calling names, or being condescending.
    It will get the point across in a more adult manner and will lend some credibility to your comments.

    You are annoyed because you unknowingly are trying to instigate fighting and bickering by calling posters names and trolls, and no one is biting.

    Learn to take the high road, and simply believe what you believe, right or wrong, and let other posters state their views.

    I am not even agreeing or disagreeing with you on the subject at hand currently, as you may believe, but simply see your lack of control discouraging in general.

    of course, with his "gift", Radar could hear the difference even before the cables were swapped.

    (that's why he was called "Radar", it may be recalled)

    No the moon is made of cheese. Get it right will ya!

    Speaking of cheese, that goes good on a chilli cheese dog, or east coast coney dog.
