I don't hate lawyers. Except for an old girlfriend whom every time I mentioned anything about maybe getting 'cozy', responded with "State your case."

That could be funny, as long as there's not an old boyfriend popping in from time to time to say, "I object!"

Hmmm, maybe CV could use these tactics with Claire, you know, stating his case, her boyfriend objecting, then Claire saying "Overruled!"
And they all lived happily ever after!
Well, CV and Claire, that is. The boyfriend, ehh.

One thing to keep in mind as you peruse the internet: nobody can force you to read or watch anything. You are in control of your own eyes and hands. If you don't like it, try a different thread. There are plenty of them here.
To ask other forum members to stop discussing something simply because it annoys you is rather arrogant.

pmbuko, Your earlier post was much less condescending. I think you know the difference between "discussing something" and the type of posts I was referring to. Funny........yours, is the only negative post, perhaps you should be the one to "try a different thread". By the way, "ellipses".........(and incorrect punctuation) are part of my style. Larry

The classic "you're being negative" defense....
If stating my honest opinion of distaste is considered condescension, then you stating that you "don't get obsessed about it" -- and thus implying your superiority to those who do -- is condescension to a different degree. If you believe my post is the only negative one, then please re-examine your original post. Pay particular attention to the phrases "I mean, talk about bitter dreggs" and "Sorry, but it's true"
I have nothing against you, in general. In fact, I find your posts no less valuable than those of many other regulars here. I also believe two people on the internet -- even a crowd of people -- can have a civil argument by not taking cheap shots (i.e. attacking one's character) and sticking to the content of what has been posted. Note that at no time have I attacked your character. I simply believe, and have stated my case as such, that I found your post to be arrogant.

Note that at no time have I attacked your character. I simply believe, and have stated my case as such, that I found your post to be arrogant. So is this one of those "Love the sinner, hate the sin" type of situations, where you distinguish between a person's words/deeds/actions on the one hand and that person as a self/character/whole entity on the other? I think that is what you are saying. I've learned to be careful and not put words in people's mouths. I think Peter raises another important point, in that sometimes people take things too personally. Partly that's due to text not being able to convey emotional content as well as speech can, and the possibility of misinterpretation of a person's intended tone in a post. More often, however, I find that it's due to people identifying too personally with things outside their self. You know, you are not your speakers, so an attack on Axiom is not an attack on you. An attack on Axiom (or Monster, or whoever) may not even be an "attack" as such but an honest difference of opinion. Let it wash off you, and get on with the business of the day. That's all.
