    In cyberspace and face to face, 'Live and Let Live' even with respect to others whose background, personality, style, age and status

    may be different from your own, rather than vibrate, lash out and criticize whatever they may think or or say. Would you agree?

    Appreciate your prompt reply. Please step back for a moment to consider an often overlooked dimension of both spoken and written communication: Crux issue is tone. Eventually tone of motivation spills over and informs tone of meaning. Words themselves are little more than beasts of burden and indentured slaves, anointed to carry and deliver the load of the sender's message. As such, they've always been dispensable because they grow weary and inept at their twenty four jobs. In my view this rationale explains the reason for expletives, coarse street talk and creative slang to arrest attention since ancient times. Origin of this point of view dates way back to when I was given permission to take several upper level university communication electives from Dr Bonner in my sophomore year. Those impressions still linger.

    That is a lie.

    Yes. And your tone is consistently condescending.

    Almost Friend!? Being on a list like that is, in and of itself, a condescending insult. I am not sunk so low that I could be considered even almost your friend. I despise you, and no, this is not a fault in my personality, and yes, another condescending "thank you for your opinion" will only make you more despicable. You are low-life, pond slime, disrespectable and to be disrespected. You would need a ladder to reach the lofty heights of "almost" my friend.

    No.

    No smile, no wink.

    You were not joking, and neither was I.

    If you were honest, you'd admit that, but you do not have the moral capacity for honesty.

    You are despicable, and every smiley you add makes you more so.

    Ha ha. I think it kind of suits you Richard.

    I didn't make the list. I am apparently too good or not good enough. Ha!

    Outstanding! As far as 'baiting' goes this is the equivalent of dumpster full of skate racks and fillet ribbons on a tuna boat... all tipped over the side dumpster and all.

    Do you actually think you could be friends with these people in the real world?

    I wouldn't lose a bit of sleep if I never heard from any of the aforementioned again.

    Using GB's list I think it would be interesting for you to spell out why you have such disdain for each user, and the demise you wish befell them.

    GO!~

    Phlabibit, there isn't an ounce of "disdain" in the original post to this thread as you claim, nor is there even the least mention of detractors or enemies.

    To the contrary, the intended tone of the thread is playful.

    If any disdain, strychnine or viral disease are now present they've been hauled in by subsequent posters with chronic cases of prolapsed egos or jaded emotions.

    Hell Bob, if someone likes me or dislikes me, can take a joke or not, it's hardly up to me. I wouldn't waste time making a list of people I think dislike me.
    Screw em. 🙂
