@caesar-salad My comment a moment ago was meant to be playful and nothing more.

@divegeester saidThe insults are much better than the unknown thumbs down...LOL...but then if they are giving the thumbs down and not saying anything, meanst they are scared to say who they are. I would say many timid people would rather the thumbd down to avoid any possible conflict. π
I have often observed that of one’s thread doesn’t open with gratuitous insults it is much less likely that replies will contain one.
What’s so bad about insults anyway; are we so easily offended that a perfect strangers text can pierce our frail defences?
@very-rusty saidI like to insult you sir 'and' give you a thumbs down.

@caesar-salad saidGratuitous insults and name calling are just sparring banter; comes with the territory of clan-ishness.
It has come to my attention that in some circles, a properly formatted post in this forum should end with a gratuitous personal insult.
In which case this one must seem especially subtle. π
@moonbus saidCS,

You can judge the character of the poster by the quality of the insult.
At the moronic end of the scale, the insults tend to be like these: "Moron!" or "Ar$e-wipe!"
At the literary end of the scale, they look like these: "Sir, your tie clashes with your cologne," o ...[text shortened]... sogynist, counter-revolutionary, trotskist-schismatic troll according to Duchess. (Except Finnegan.)
@moonbus saidWhat about a person like 'goad' who uses both types of insult, what would you call that? π
