A pre-emptive plea for mercy usually works on gardening forums, etc.
I lurked long enough to know not to try it here and still got the crap beat out of me.
It was great fun! Half the blast here is knowing everyone has a stilletto in their boot, ready to eviscerate you for showing any extra-Constitutional weakness or a dumbass typo.
Like internet seal training or aversion therapy, IMHO.
“Like internet seal training or aversion therapy, IMHO.”
I like to think of it as eternal FR boot camp. LOL
Your sign up shows 2010. If your lurking goes back sufficiently you might remember a phenomenon known as the “Crevo Thread.”
It was on one such thread that I cut my teeth (and more than a few teeth were sunk into my tender flesh.)
I figured that was enough of a trial by fire for one lifetime. So the next Crevo Thread that came along I just ridiculed the folks I disagreed with mercilessly. No reasoning whatsoever.
That worked out just fine.
Knives, like the “Punahou Death Stare” are for pussies. Strictly hand-to-hand, or GTFO.
