That's ridiculous. Why do you bother?

I really don't know. And now I must leave, as L is demanding I stop typing and get in bed. Being that we're in an equal relationship, I don't get to argue.

Goodnight, Psycorp, sleep well.

You can call me Andy you know - we have been friends long enough!

That's true. I went back and checked, and this thread has been going for more than a year now.

That long? Wowsers... Then again, Montague Trout busted into a thread I have going with Rich, implying that I'm buttering up the judges - that one had been going since April!

Don't mind Trout. I'm sure Rich knows that you're not trying anything.

It would be a shame to stop talking just because of the competition.

I wasn't planning on it!

I'm sure it was meant in a tongue-in-cheek manner, so I wasn't too bothered by it. I'm just wondering how far into this competition we'll get before the knives come out.

The only thing I'm sure of about TM is that he's incredible arrogant, and that I usually don't even read his entries for that reason, let alone comment. I made the mistake to comment this time. I'm not surprised he ignored it. I won't bother repeating what I said, I'll post to EF once it's edited.

Looks like he's really rubbed you up the wrong way.

Doesn't happen often, but yes, I guess he has.

I'm shocked! I don't think I've seen you riled up before!

I'm trying not to react, really. There was somebody who always managed to really upset me, and I made the mistake of reacting accordingly. Then I was annoyed with myself for falling into the trap every time, so I stopped it. I just unsubscribed from every thread they were in, and they lost interest. You'd think it is easy to do that, but it isn't. When I see somebody posting cr@p and lies, I *really* want to tell them off. But then it's like in RL: sometimes, there's just no arguing with some.

Interesting. We have er(s) here. The good think is, it saved me from making a fool of myself in EF. The bad thing is, I made a fool of myself in PR. Again.

You did? I'll have to have a look.

Yes, I did. Not today, though, but with my original post.

I wouldn't say you made a fool of yourself. He comes across as a snob though.

Oh, I thought he was quite nice and not arrogant at all with his posts today. I mean, I'm sure he followed the link I posted and knew there was no fatality, but he couldn't know I had misinterpreted the word.

I meant in general. Still, I've been known to be wrong.

Oh, I agree. I wouldn't have said what I did if that wasn't how he generally comes across. Maybe it's because I don't know him, though.
