I don't think I've ever been trollish... well, at least that's my perspective. However, we "all have our moments", as we are all human. I've got a pretty thick skin, enjoy sarcastic humor, and am generally a fun-loving person. My "moment" came when one of the younger posters "pushed the wrong button", and I lashed out...didn't like it almost immediately. In hindsight, I believe the button he pushed was due to an ex-relationship's son of similar age and "real issues" I still had leftover...oh well, what can you do except apologize...like I said "human". For all it's "PPOT warts"...I still enjoy the intelligent exchanges (for the most part) and the wide divergence of opinions and real world experiences, and I never cease to learn something...plus you occasioinally get a "dog tease" thread that I've watched at least 15 times now
