I like being a belligerent old crank. Not my fault these people come here with a rudimentary grasp of english language and grammar. It's also not my fault that these people come here expecting to get away with talking like they're sending a text message on a damn cell phone.
And IMHO, I don't consider either mine, nor Kims posts to be in any way inflammitory. They would be if one of us posted something like: "You stupid -blam!- noob, learn how to type proper -blam!- english before you come and sully our forums with your goddamn, piece of -blam!- spelling."
I believe I can send a message in my own adversarial, contemptious way, without it being classified as a flame. I also believe that the person on the recieving end of my adversarial, contemptious post gets the message much better than if I were to flame him mercilessly until he is but nothing more than a smoldering smear on the proverbial ground.
