i think this is one of those things where talking about it does NOT help. nobody really did anything wrong, my feelings were not hurt (I know that this is everyone's main concern). Also, this is one of those posts that contradicts its own message.....

hey.....do you like monkeys?

I think I see the problem here. classicman, I like you. But you need to know something. This is a public message board. There is nothing here that you are saying to just one person. That would be a private message. Anything you say to anybody, anywhere on the board, is something free to be quoted, analyzed, nit-picked, taken out of context, criticized, mis-characterized, or whatever, by anybody, anywhere, anytime.

Your comment just didn't belong.

Wrong! That's your wrong assumption: that anything anybody feels like posting, doesn't "belong" somewhere, according to you. You're not the editor!

Now, remember, this is just my opinion. And if you disagree, I welcome you to post that. And I won't come back and say that you shouldn't have posted that you disagree. And if anybody reads this and agrees or disagrees with me, they can post whatever they want about it. I won't be telling people what they should or shouldn't say. It doesn't work like that.

Damn you, Flint! I was gonna like respond to your post in a way that I hoped would be funny, saying that people had no right to jump into conversations between two other people, but it would be funny because I would be doing the exact thing I was advocating against. Then I read down to the end of your post and you invited that very thing. Curse you!

Pah, I did that like ....2 posts ago.

so, let's really delve deep into the damage that can be done when you talk about something you really oughten to, thereby exacerbating the situation all the further. I see great opportunity to use a lot of really cromulent words.
