Aww, geeze, you’re upset because I used your _name_? Not even your full name, but just your first name? Because that’ll allow your boss to identify you and make you get to work? That’s pretty lame. Whattza matter, couldn’t find anything else to feed your hard on for me today? Here’s a thought: Maybe you shouldn’t be posting from work, after all, our tax dollars are paying for you to sit on your ass and regurgitate all the crap you post. I know it’s a government job, so not much is expected of you, but I’d really feel better if you actually, you know, worked when we’re paying you to. Just a thought. As for using your name…it’s your goddamn name, excuse me for calling you by it.

Wow. I must have missed some intermediate steps along the way. I knew you guys had a difference of opinion, but when did that translate into open hostility?

Oh, it happened a while back when Mr. Firefly started following me around and making posts simply to attack me in threads he was not participating in. I noticed at the time and actually documented it, considering a pit thread of my own on the subject, but decided that would be a waste of time, I doubt I’ve still got the file with all the links in it anymore, and frankly, I don’t have the time or the inclination (_I_ have to work) to dig around year old threads to recreate it. I’m not hostile to Mr. Firefly, I find him amusing most of the time, in the same way a pissed off 4 year old is amusing, but I just decided that from then on I would reply in kind to him and I suspect he’s pissed because I’m better at it than he is. Just another example of someone calling the tune and then whining when they can’t handle the dance.
