    Ag to the rescue. Say, did you ever find joy in simple things

    as a child or fleeting whimsey in playful banter as a man?

Unfortunate attack dogs, sock puppets and lurking shadows (with ten ingrown thumbs) would be fed back in halfway houses where they belong. An equation for the objective ...[text shortened]... ndex (PI) would account for at least as many Human Ego and ID Variables as their Chess Ratings.
    You're absolutely right, Bobby. It's outrageous the way those attack dogs and cowardly sock puppets suck up all the applause. And then
    they have the unmitigated cheek to slink in and piss in your personal soup when you aren't looking. They should all be horsewhipped!

    Thumbs down to the lot of them! 😠

    Not a matter of who pees in whose soup. Neither is punishment in view. You're ratcheting my playful reply to VR's mock

    Any grown man offering "playful banter" needs to get out of his teenage mental state.

    Calibrate this.

    We've seen that "playful reply" many times before, usually with more than a tinge of paranoia and self-deception.

    You're blinded by your own inflated ego.

    I have no problem with banter, but "playful" between adults in a public non-personal context is pathetic. Sorry. Adult-type insults if you please.
