I agree with your assessment. It does seem sad that people come in here to create friction for a laugh. However, it is not my job to jolt them out of their sour complacency to look at themselves in the mirror. Especially when nobody has risen to the bait as they hoped. The reaction is annoyance and eye-rolling rather than the anger they desired. I really admire this community. The actions of a few insecure bovver-boys don't really matter so much.

John, get off your high horse and knock it off. It was a joke. I have no insecurity with regard to this topic - and I've made plenty of "community" contributions.

I think we've beaten this to death. IMO, this thread should be frozen.
