My point was that perhaps you need to take the "rough" treatment around here with a grain of salt. We consider each other as FRiends on the same team and not adversaries. That's why the teasing is so heavy at times between those that know each other.
It is also why people who seriously attack other FReepers are warned and then zotted if they don't quit. We, as a forum and according to Jim's rules, don't tolerate serious personal attacks. It's not done. Repeated offenses result in banning.
Just so you know, I really haven't seen any posts here (except those *explicitly* telling you off) that weren't meant in jest.
It is also understandable that you might not understand this at first but I've seen your posts for a long time and am surprised you reacted this way. Are you the same ETL who posted all those long summaries?
Of course. Two people can't have the same screen name. It just bugs the sh*t out of me when a group jumps on one person. Usually I'm defending someone else from this crap. Since grade school I've have bad experiences with this. I went to a mostly black and puerto rican junior high and had to deal with this sh*t all the time. Feels even worse when it's coming from your supposed friends.
