I couldn't agree with you more on this point and a couple others you made in your last post. When I talk about busting balls it's only bullshitting with other friends of mine who, like me, don't take that shit seriously. The previous comment I made about not making yourself an easy target was just advice to the original poster who was apparently being bullied a little. I was trying to tell him that if you don't react, then the bully will lose interest in you. Friends don't keep going at a guy who doesn't take it well or doesn't give it back to you. And busting balls is no excuse for just being an out and out miserable dickhead. Like I said earlier, it really is a fine line to tread on and you really shouldn't fuck around with sensitive people or dim wits who can't fuck with you back, that's not really what it's about.
