Phew! I went to bed thinking I was a voice in the wilderness, but I see commonsense has prevailed in some quarters. I've been around the 'cat long enough to understand why some people here might not like Tarheel, but I think it is wrong to react in a negative way to someone's post because you don't like the person. I agree very much with what Lox and Bee-dubya-ell said.

I don't agree with a lot of what Tarheel says either, but I would prefer to take a post at face value. If it's funny, I laugh. I think that all those things, like being judgmental and holding a grudge, do more harm to the person doing it than the person they have a grudge against. In fact, I believe those negative feelings can affect your health, so I try not to do it.

I have had an awful lot of the saccharine-sweet emails about friendship, and "sissy crap" is just a funny way of describing it. Sentimentality certainly has its place, but en masse via email? Ho Hum. I know which kind I'd rather get.

I suspect it may appeal to some more than others because it actually has the style of Aussie humour, which I am attuned to. I'm always saying number 7 to people, but they insist on coughing at me anyway :-(
