I wrote this about tw earlier in the month when we had to have our intervention with him:
tw has been the way he is as long as I've been here--6 years and change.
I appreciate many of his points, and sometimes I even get a chuckle out of him. But he (along with a few other people on here) try too hard, IMO, to pull emotion out of their posts. And that is impossible...we are emotional people as a whole. So when these folks try to be unemotional, they come across as callous and asinine...and it understandably throws people for a loop.
Of course, it doesn't help that none of us have voices to rely on.
In the end, post how you want...just be aware of how you might come across. The Cellar is too decent of a place to be disrespectful to each other.
Rob was one of the "few other people" I had in mind. So, let me now tailor this quote to fit him:
