Look I'm not mad but this is a MATURE message board with a good atmosphere. You're right. It's not a cult. It's also not a playground or street corner. Anuj was offended. I was just irritated. But you can't modulate peoples responses to what they deem as offensive behavior. It's not your job to explain to people how they should react to what you say. Their reactions belong to them, not you. And the forum and shoutbox are two separate things.

I've rarely spoken to you and I don't know your personality. I will say only one more thing about this. When someone goes to the trouble of making an imformative post on your behalf....shut up, ho, is a rude response. If it's a joke it's a disrepectful and unappreciative one.

You don't have to take peoples advice but you should try to recognize that many people put a lot of work and though into their responses. Do you think I care about caffeine? Or I care whether you drink coffee? No, I posted that info out of the goodness of my heart, not to "show off knowledge". There are times for jokes and there are times when jokes arent appropriate. When someone tries to help just because they want to help then your response just may be deemed a little rude, joke or not. If you can't see that then I would think you'd have a hard time in daily life.

I'm not here to teach you how to behave but the lack of smack talk is one of the reasons I'm on this forum and not others.

BTW, let me make something clear. I am not railing against general good natured ribbing. I do it myself all the time. There's nothing wrong with it but there is a time and place for everything. If I offend someone, I just apologize and move on.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
