The sort of blatent falsehoods you're rearing your heads at now are precisely the kind I found on this site concerning antibland that drove me to post my original rant.

I think I'm beginning to see at least part of the problem here, Ms. AB. You were taking us seriously.
I can see where you might find offense at the things that were posted, but I assure you that none of it was personal. How could it be? Neither of you really know us in any sense, nor we you, so you were faceless, without identity. You may think this indicates cruelty or callousness on the part of Cellar Dwellars (tm), but it doesn't.
It indicates that the residents herein happily toss around crude humor, foul language and what sounds on the surface like inhumane commentary, but it is largely extreme sarcasm and carefully calculated mock cynicism that is being played for laughs. Unfortunately, your beau ended up on the receiving end this time. Wouldn't have happened if we'd been allowed to get to know him first.
Jump into the pool, swim with us sharks for awhile. You'll find out that we make pretty good pets in the long run, and I seriously doubt that you'll experience another episode like our 'logo contest' and the attendant commentary. People here tend to go out of their ways to help folks once they know who they are. Misunderstandings happen, especially with a creative and somewhat edgy group like this.
Pax? C'mon, jump in...it'll be fun! Besides, there are actually true jerks here as well as the good folk, and you can enjoy verbally kicking the crap out them, too!
