Not that this is any sort of defense, but.... posting anything in an OT thread like that is asking for trouble. If you don't want the possibility of such a response, you probably should not be posting in OT threads.

That was a minor indiscretion and poor word choice, not quite a flame. The thing is, all human emotions have been proven to be results of the chemical balance in our brains. What causes the particular chemical balance is our previous emotions, our current thoughts, stress levels (which are also maintained by the chemical balance), even the food we eat, and many other factors that I don't remember at present. Evil and good thoughts/feelings are not a result of little good guys and bad guys floating around trying to influence us. That is the sort of thing that people believed in the Dark Ages when they had no idea how the world around them worked. I should probably have said this, and not what I said in the thread. I apologize to Greybeard for this.

Folks,
Life is short.
Can we accept a few things and put this all behind us?
1) Body language and Tone inflection do not come across in text.
2) There really is no reason to believe that anyone here meant to offend / upset / insult / piss off etc.. anyone.
3) What has been posted in text if delivered over a table with friends would have come across completely differently and no one would have taken offence..
4) We all have different personalties and when all is said and done it just does not matter how the post is delivered.

Can we accept the above and go forward with an unmitigated understanding:
If you think someone meant to offend then you probably misunderstood.

To define "Meant" - The person actually intended to offend / upset / insult / piss you off

Good thing you are all getting this out of your system...

Fyron:
You asked why you was rated low. I answered.
Feel free to take my words as constructive criticism, or dismiss them as ravings from a mad man.

Either way this discussion is over from my side.

One quick question: If the "big one" came and everything on the seaward side of the San Andreas fault fell into the ocean, would:

Alta Loma/Riverside, CA, USA

still be on land or in the ocean?

This is purely a geography-type questions.

raynor, it depends on what music was playing at the time.
