"Old fart" is about attitude, not about age. I probably qualify. The really telling things is THAT is what you focused on, and not the "obsessive" label. That one's pretty obviously spot on.

"I'm sure she might excuse me when I go over the top on things I care about."
Nope.
That's all you do, all the time, with no regard to how it affects the forum as a whole. In my opinion, you don't care about "the greater good" and just want to fight.

I've seen at least three times where you called Mudcat "a debate forum". It's not, but it's what you WANT it to be. It's impossible to discuss anything in BS and not have people choose sides and go after each other.

Like I've said before, when enough people piss in the pool, the only people in the pool will eventually be those who enjoy swimming in piss.

Since I do NOT enjoy fighting with people, I'm out of this thread.
