This just reminds me of what shesus said in chat, about the little kids. The slapper is always the one to get punished when they finally lose it, despite the amount of unobserved provocation from the slapped. I appreciate that you are addressing that thread as if I wasn't one of those people tearing down his personality, but everyone knows I was, and I am not going to back down from what I said or agree that what I said should be poo-pooed.

I didn't say what I did about tecoyah/chimera because I had a funny idea and posted it without thinking. It wasn't a 'carnal' response. Maybe I could have said it in a more boring way, but the point would have been the same. If I was giving in to the desire to slap and not 'posting responsibly,' then it was because I've watching the same person contribute time after time without "responsible thinking" first.

Of course, I know what your response to me will be, you've already responded here: (LINK)

What you're describing as "social frustration" is certainly frustration, but not of the social variety. It is frustration with irresponsibile thinking. I don't think there's anything wrong with conflict if it means taking people to task when they are unwilling to stand behind their own ideas with rational discourse.
