Of course. I'm addressing my posts to the lurking crybaby. Stay gone, crybaby. Or you'll be a hypocrite.

I sent her an email to tell her how I feel. No narcicissim in that, really, if what I had to say is heartfelt.

It saves questions from being asked / concerns from being raised among others. As a bonus there is feedback as to why somebody didn't stick around a post. I see no narcissism in that.

the word 'sir' when used in that way is highly demeaning.

no. not really....i was just commenting on the way people say "siiiirrrrr" when they really mean 'jerk' sometimes. typically an honorific.....but it's possible to use it as a quasi insult, too. which....i think wolf employed in her post to flint. not to spend a whole lot of time or energy discussing it, but i have seen it done in real life ( usually by a cop or lawyer) and find it interesting. sir.

Okay folks. I know Dagney better than anyone else here.
She is definitely NOT the attention-seeker that posts "I'm out of here!" then comes back to see what people say. She's a mature adult who says goodbye only as a courtesy to everyone here, much as one would say goodbye to a roomful of people when they leave a party. If you don't care that she's gone (I bet my bottom dollar she won't peek back to read this thread) then by all means don't say goodbye to her or say anything else here. I have already said my goodbyes to her. And that's enough for the both of us. Brian

I think "sir" can also mean "I am respectfully chastising you, for your behavior that I know you know better than to have engaged in, so I leave it for you to beat yourself up over" ...returning the conversation to a respectful tone makes the person being addressed feel guilty for having departed from a respectful tone, I think. That's how I took it, anyway.

when I get pissed off I sometimes get really, really polite and formal with language.
. . . either that or I throw things.
