Sorry you're offended Jeff. Certainly wasn't my intent. In my opinion, "discussing" the pros and cons of 'favorite'
anything requires a certain amount of skin-thickening by the participants.
With respect to "rude" "disrespectful" and "sarcastic"...
Rude - ain't there... Its 'existence' lies indeed in the way you read it.
Disrespectful - Hmmm. Am I supposed to genuflect to someone (other than OConnor)? Is there a hand with a ring I'm supposed to kiss? If so, please let me know the specifics, so that in the future I can exhibit the proper "respect".
Sarcastic - guilty as charged. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> This often comes out in me when I see shameless fawning. (Now you see my 'trouble' with "disrepectful". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) Sorry, can't help it. It's gotten me into trouble before... but that doesn't mean it wasn't appropriate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Now about the "hugs and kisses". Your response helps me make a good point. If people don't like what you say (write), there's
nothing you can say, no matter how nice, that won't be taken offensively. Would you prefer the following instead?
Here's mud in your eye,
