You bring up some good things, Diesel, and I know you're not talking to me here, but I had some things to add.
1. I think that in some ways, yeah, you brought this on yourself. Your intentions could indeed be angelic, but I think that posters might automatically assume, unfortunately, that they aren't because of things that have happened in the past, i.e. the charmin rant, calling CBAreject a dumbass, or rendering others insignificant. A reputation can go a long ways to helping you, good or bad.
2. Also, you can't exactly complain about this and in the same very breath call DrR insignificant.
3. All that to say, though, you're right, some people here are out of hand in their personal attacks. Its a message board, and its sports, which are really just entertainment for us. Shouldn't get ourselves all bent out of shape. Sometimes people probably just want to argue for the sake of arguing.
4. I really appreciate the job Dolfan and the extra mods are doing. Big props there.
Don't take this wrong, as I really do enjoy you're insight here. Fight the good fight dude, and feel free to disregard me :P
