**monstro** is indeed a peach, but she no Bill Brasky.

Seriously though, **monstro** rocks, but until I saw her chime in I was afraid that we were eulogizing her. What brings on this (well deserved) love fest?

I hate monstro, she’s always posting something much better and more eloquently than I. Just kidding, I endorse this anti-pitting.

Well fuckin A. Pretty generous. I’ve lived a pretty hard life, so I’m thinking of asking her for her liver, too. Class act, all around. 🙂

Your post is your cite? 😛 I think it’s going to hinge on what you mean by ‘best’, ‘Doper’ and ‘wrong’. I’m also going to take exception to your use of ‘you’ and not sure what you mean by ‘disagree’…can you elaborate?

I do, completely, agree with your interpretation (as I see it) of ‘if’, however…

This is a warning for you. Potshots like this are out of line for this forum. You should know this by now.

I’m not sure who you are thinking of, when considering it a “potshot” . The second stone complimented me with his remark, and I was complimenting him back. If you are warning me for taking a potshot at him, you couldn’t be more wrong. I’m sure he understood exactly what I meant.

No, none of that is sarcasm either. “Pissing off the right people” is a huge compliment.

Now if it’s considered a potshot at somebody else, that’s another story. But it certainly was no insult to the second stone. Just as his comment wasn’t an insult (or potshot) at me.

I’m finding it hard to take your post as anything other than a shot at someone who obviously can’t reply to it. If you wish to discuss the warning or appeal against it, however, make a topic in ATMB so that we don’t hijack this one with a discussion of rules/warnings.

Monstro is a swell character. Very candid about her personal life and commitment to staying away from people. I always enjoy her posts.

I really liked the sweater and mittens she knitted for me. Spinning her own wool yarn was a nice touch. 😃

I agree, her posts are well thought out and persuasive. I enjoy reading them.

I’d actually nominate you as the best Doper, **aceplace57**. The volume of thought-provoking threads started by you here is of no equal. You’re a very cerebral guy. Never change Acey.
