I used to go the rounds with kelli, but I really don’t know why other than entertainment. I have **always** liked her, I think I just I wanted someone fun to spar with. She seemed like she could hold her own quite well, so. . . . Hey, but don’t tell her I said that. 😃 I remember flaming Homer for his “greasy Mexicans” comment, but I have really seem a huge improvement with his attitude. In fact, I think our little Homey has grown up. :::sniff::: Seriously, I am impressed with his change and he has become one of my favorite posters. I have been involved in flame wars, but I have never “hated” anyone here. ---

Well, sigh, I suppose it would be g.nome. I really was way too hard on her (?) in the beginning, and I’ve learned - well, let’s say I’m learn **ING** how not to fly off the handle the way I did before, and feel really bad about one particular post I made to her in the pit. Sorry, g.nome, hope there’s no hard feelings. I apologize. ---

That would definitely be you, **WildestBill**. I got so frustrated I was pounding my desk in some of the early threads, but I’ve been impressed by your dogged good humor and your rapidly improving skill at communicating in writing.[sup]\*[/sup] \*[sub]Which is not to say that I don’t still want to scream at you sometimes[/sub] ---

I mean “you’re” screaming. I can’t believe I just screwed that up again especially after your compliment on my communication skills. ---

See, now there’s an example. A few months ago, you not only wouldn’t have noticed that, but you probably would have gotten defensive if someone had pointed it out. 🙂 Maybe I should start another lawyer thread… 😃 ---

I’m not sure if I should be happy or sad I showed up on this list… For me, it’s **Coldfire**. His “I am so much wiser than you” routine pissed me off in a _major_ way. This touched off a huge flame war that almost got me banned. In retrospect, I overreacted. Nowadays, I would describe him as someone who _can be_ an arrogant ass, not as someone who _is_ an arrogant ass. And he can be quite witty with words, too. Witness my sig. Oh, and thanks, **Cranky**! ---

The problem I have with Daniel is that he has a hard time dealing with abstractions. He’s good with concrete facts, but he doesn’t seem to extrapolate very well. > > But over time, I’ve found that Daniel and I agree on more things that we disagree on. He’s a good kid. \*\* I feel the same about Thea. I think I deal OK with abstractions- but since all my professional writing is done with hard facts- i do not write as well about abstractions. And- I have forgiven or stopped being angry with everyone here, (except one, starts with “B”). I also have made-up with Yosemitebabe, altho we really got into it on just about my first postings here. Coldfire & I were having a nasty time, but I think he is a great guy. We should all try to be freinds and not carry grudges- even when we disagree strongly. This is why I really try not to launch personal attacks, even in the PIT (however, i do fail this resolve from time-to-time). ---

Really, incredibly annoyed.** ::scratches head:: I thought **I** was supposed to be annoyed with **you**? 😉 I appreciate the kind words, Diane. What was that sig you used to have?
