I am off to bang my head against a brick-wall.

Why let her get you all uptight, wound up, knickers-in-a-twist, though, mate? Sheesh! That’s **kambuckta’s** style – for all th’ high regard I hold for her.

Mate – let’s put it this way. She’s one poster. Just one. The only one who’s done a real razzing in this thread. Just remember that, and, well, say “Who cares?”

Way easier to say than done. My own self-doubt demons are loud beggers, and folk like **kambuckta** can make 'em go for full amplification.

Take it easy. Be cool. You’re a worthwhile doper, and someone I _definitely_ read. Okay? 🙂

You obviously haven’t been to the right ones ;).

OK Ice. I can see you are trying to help. And I appreciate that. So consider me helped. I will treat **kambuckta** as background noise from now on.

Okay, so this means I can put down this “ **Lobsang** is wonderful!!” banner now? Cool. My arms were gettin’ tired. 🙂

Off ya go then. I think you NEED it. While I started off in this thread just doubting the wisdom of the OP, I have now come to believe that you are a complete moron **Lobsang**. If you feel a desire to self-flagellate so intensely because I dared to question your question, then maybe you really do NEED to do so.

Have fun. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Fpr **Lobsang** – :applause:

**kambuckta** , I think your message has come through loud and clear. With all due respect – there has been some stuff said by you here that might have been best left to the BBQ Pit.

Especially: “I have now come to believe that you are a complete moron…”

Aw, heck, th’ horror of creeping typo. Add me to that “moron” list of yours, **kambuckta**. 🙂

Well y’see, I don’t actually like pitting people, and I thought Lobsang was just being a garden-variety dickhead which didn’t really necessitate me dragging him down into the SDMB Hades. His persecution complex was something that could have been dealt with quite adequately here, at least until you popped up Icey!!

Gee, thanks. I’ll see you both in the pit then?  
:rolleyes:

That would be up to **Lobsang**. As for me – I have too much awareness of your word mastery to be on your wrong side there, **kambuckta**.

I have offered my opinion (this is, after all, still IMHO): some of your words have been over-harsh here.

I don’t think you were “dealing” with anyone’s “persecution complex” at all.

Feel free to Pit me. That would be your right, and I wouldn’t blame you. Perhaps it was time everyone had the opportunity to roast my bones over th’ coals for tryin’ to see th’ good in folk instead of battering them down.

That seems to be a link to your shopping list.

Well, Jeebus. Here I sent out my last whoosh gift and everything.  
I’ll rephrase my question to **Lobsang** in the form of a statement:

The debate over whether or not this thread was a good idea aside, I find it very odd that after bashing to OP for a “bad idea” thread that **kambuckta** decided to hop right in and play along.

Are we allowed to do that around here? 😉

Seriously though, without getting in the middle of whatever’s happening here, good on you **Ice Wolf** for trying to see the good.

That’s the end of this trainwreck. I’m closing it.

And not to add to the pile on Lobsang, but if you wish the mods to look at thread and perhaps close it you should a) **e-mail** them and b) **stop** posting to the fucking thing.
