And that said, I'm sure that certain facets of my own posts irritate others as well, such as my tagline which usually records how many more days I have left before I outlive some stupid celebrity.
My point is, in any community, people are going to annoy each other. Hell, my own wife annoys me with certain things that she does, like for instance, when she moves my stuff to where I can't find them and then when I ask her where she put something, she tells me that she put it where it belongs. Well what the hell kind of an answer is that? If that was where I thought it belonged, I would have put it there in the first place!
I've been posting here for over 10 years and I have yet to complain to a mod about anybody. It's not that I've never been offended, abused or given a hard time or that other people haven't irritated me. It's just that I accept that fact that on a public forum, people are going to say things that piss me off, sometimes deliberately and people are going to say things I don't agree with and other people are going to do things that annoy me. Speaking of annoying, there are hundreds and hundreds of threads here that annoy me. The "Caption this Hillary photo" threads annnoy me. The prayer threads for the "little girl who my distant relative lives next door to" threads annoy me. The endless "Darwin Award" threads annoy me. And on and on. But I don't go complaining to the mods about it and trying to get people banned over it. I just live and let live.
Huh...interesting. I don't get annoyed much at all. Guess twenty years of military service taught me not to trip over mouse turds, and that serious things should be taken seriously..not trivial things. Guess its better to be annoying than to be annoyed. Hugs all around.

I am happy to know we agree to disagree! Now... can you get me some free Sam Adams beer?
