Are you calling me a liar? I have been "lurking" on FR for over two years now and, up until tonight, very much admired you people.

"YOU PEOPLE". Are you sure you're not my father-in-law? ;)

Anyway, I was under the impression that FR posters all had exceedingly thick, armadillo-like skin.

Perhaps I was mistaken.

You must have stayed on the "chick" threads.

Poorman cured me of that bad habit you're displaying.

Yep, that one where you jump into "martyr mode" and assume the persona of the subject of others' ridicule.

Poorman would be angry or frustrated over a difficult project, and I would bother him, make statements to the effect that he was his own worst enemy, and generally pick pick pick.

Guess what? I got attention, all right. He'd blow up. Then we'd fight and say things we regretted later.

Remember, you picked this fight. We have nothing against you; it was YOUR CHOICE to post here and draw fire.

I was blonde as a kid. Blonde jokes? So what? Who cares? Why get an ulcer over it?

My skin isn't all that thick, by the way. But I can tell the difference between jokes and personal attacks.
