Well, it seemed more to me that we were offering to be playful with someone whose lack of humor in response quickly deteriorated into a clearly stated agenda of control. I sure wasn't coming from the idea of "let's drive him out;" for me it was more a sense that he was approaching meeting someone in a way that would just not work at Mudcat.... but if Mudcat humor was beyond his scope, I think he was looking in the wrong place to start with. YMMV, but I wouldn't shame anyone just for getting different mileage. Most days anyhow.

The Guest-commenting-on-Guest-treatment thing, now that is an old familiar one; are we off on another MUDCATTERS ARE ASSHOLES thread now????

OK, that's probably true enough. I'll go first. HI MY NAME IS SUSAN AND I AM AN ASSHOLE.

But it's pronounced Ah-show-ley, and I think it's unlikely that we can all share the one name, especially if some of us are already in the wrong body. Too confusing!
