> The rest of your thread illustrates some difficult points about this thread and this board. I suppose every gathering of humanity that ever was always has had a cool kids table. I think it’s a shame for a lot of reasons, including the fact that I have never sat at one. People here, like anywhere, can gang up on someone new, or someone they think is strange. There’s a certain bully mentality, along with group-think, that happens sometimes here and probably everywhere. I guess it’s a built-in human trait. It would be a good thing if folks recognized it and worked against it instead of joining in. So would unicorns dumping cotton candy and micturating Skittles, and just as likely.

That seems to me to be an extremely misguided observation. I see no “cool kids table” here at the SDMB. I do see a “dipshits and douchebags table”, and it’s really small, and with rare exceptions most of its occupants tend to get thrown out of school and never seen again.

Speaking only for myself, I tend not to join in pile-ons and I think most here don’t actually make a habit of it. When apparent pile-ons occur, they’re usually well deserved, and yes, I do join in if and when I have a particular beef against a poster who has mightily pissed me off. And needless to say, most of us are intelligent enough to distinguish between “pissed me off” and “disagreed with me”. The evidence that pittings are well deserved is that there’s a pretty high correlation between posters who have been pitted and posters who are no longer with us, except perhaps as reincarnated footwear.

You’re both wrong. 😉 Using mayo as a base for a tangy or spicy seafood sauce is an old culinary tradition. One of the best sauces to have with lobster cakes or crab cakes, for example, is chipotle mayo, which is not the same as the mayo sauce recipe here, but the same general idea of tarting up a mayo base to make it a great seafood accompaniment. 😋
