Someone please explain . . .

. . . the amount of personal animosity on this semi-anonymous board. Why do [some] people get so worked up over what someone else says? I don't get it.

I have nothing.....I am curious to see what others say.

I did put one member here on my ignore list purely because he spewed a lot of hatred and personal attacks when one disagreed with him.

On the flip side I am on one members ignore list because he wrongly thinks I hate Jesus.

Other than that I consider myself to be thick skinned.

I am meeting a lot of Pelicans in North Carolina in 3 weeks and have no reservations at all about what I may have typed on this forum. I have a rule that I will not type what I will not say to someones face.

Burnin' - you are right, Man. This is OT. A marketplace of ideas. You aint gotta buy a thing and you may pick up something for free.

Same here, and I make every effort to piss off my left-leaning coworkers over lunch at least once a week. This is just where I practice for the big game.

cuz if I yell at my wife I won't get laid for 3 weeks and if I yell at my kids I will feel guilty afterwards. I can't yell at customers or anyone I work with so the only one left to yell at is guys like Snowman and Fastscat. I really have nothing against them. I just wanna yell and I'm not psychotic enough to yell at myself yet.

NOW LEAVE ME THE ***** ALONE ALREADY YOU OLD FART!

Well said, but some people come here to vent - they just enjoy it. See Lendaddy's comments, also spot on.

Enjoy getting worked up and upset, that's fun? For some people, sadly yes.

I think a lot of posters here have offensive body odor.

They smell almost as bad as farmers. And we all know how bad farmers smell.

I think soft-handed, lily-livered, spf-50 wearing, cab-riding, cologne-wearing, mousse-haired city folks smell bad. Plus they're all squinty-eyed and stuff.

I'll be there, too. But my rule is to drive a Porsche with a gunrack.

In truth, I have one person on my ignore list. Not because I can't deal with him, but just because he's annoying.

I only have one little grudge over something somebody said (typed) here on OT. People's opinions never bother me. Personal attacks, though... they bother me.

I have every last one of you rotten bastards on my ignore list. I just type my responses completely at random, based upon who posted last. This is the only place in my sorry life I can actually come to ignore people and anyone pays attention to my ignore (ance). It's great.

Go to any board where people post repeatedly and you will find the same thing. Heck, this board is TAME compared to many. I think it has to do with the anonymity of the internet itself. People say things that they would never say if that person were standing in front of them. The internet depersonalizes people. You become your avatar or your screen name. People don't think about the fact that the person behind that post has a life and a family and feelings and is intelligent. They just say "Damn, there's that a--hole Lendaddy again, watch me thrash him" or whatever.

It's built in to the internet. There is no escape.

I don't want to talk to you, no more, you empty-headed animal, food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

I have just one dude on my ignore list...I usually can't resist and read his posts anyway, then slap myself for giving in. D'oh.
