[QUOTE="soberups, post: 720297, member: 14668"] I simply cannot comprehend how a site can be "ruined" merely by words that one member types on a screen. As an adult, I have the power to [I]choose [/I]whether or not to read input from a particular member. As an adult, I have the power to [I]choose[/I] whether or not to respond to input from a particluar member. And, as an adult, I have the power to [I]choose [/I]whether or not to allow the typed words that I read from a particular member to affect my own emotional well-being. I guess I should feel sorry for someone who lacks the ability to make those choices and must instead allow themselves to become mentally neutered by the settings on their computer in order to avoid being upset or offended. That being said, I do feel regret for the fact that, for whatever reason, Tieguy felt the need to put me on his list. I seldom agreed with him, but I always respected his intelligence and ability to debate an issue. I was never in any way verbally abusive to him or any member of his family. Brown Cafe will be just a little bit less enjoyable for me as a result. And if he gains some small measure of grim satisfaction from that fact, then he probably needs it worse than I do. [/QUOTE]
