Amigo Will says: Hard to believe at times that the average age here is about fifty and we are supposed gentlemen of the double gun and the quail fields.
Thus it has ever been, Will, mah fren'. The names change, but the Commedia del Arte' roles are always filled. Mostly, such 'Net behavior is being recognized now as a compulsive form of psyco-pathology. It's not yet listed in the Index, but no doubt that the addiction process and dis-associative behaviors consistent with what can be read on forums such as this, are on their way to classification.
This poll would not be needed, were there not the need of the unbalanced sorts to dominate and humiliate people that they see as being 'lesser'. Refrain from responding [or even noting] the swaggering testosterone codpiece personality, the chittering inflated bladder whackers, and the rest of Mardis Gras crew. Then who would give a big rat's butt about the tiny rat's butts that force a site owner into this sort of action?
Oh, well, Will. 'same as it ever was', y'know? Fortunately, it's not our purview or worry to give a moment's attention to the axxhills of the world. Their own words most eloquently and publicly demonstrate to one and all, the personal lack of generous character and civility. How can you or I better that sort of a soul's self exposure? Nope, lettum go in peace, little as that concept may be understood in their self-important mind.
Cheers to you, as a good man, and cheers to the rest of those who abide by that simple old rule -- the "golden one." Pax, over n' out.
PS I voted for open comments in sales. Note that is not a vote for 'free speech'. That idea is an illusion in a commercial activity. This is a personally owned forum, and that person has every right to say 'what goes'. Fortunately, Dave offers wide boundaries for folks, to be and act as adults in a mature venue; one of noted scholarship and artistic contributions. I suppose that it IS an awful lot, for him to expect responsible posts and replies thereto from the users of his facility.
