And You Thought Claude and I were Bad...
There had been some complaints that Claude and I ruin perfectly good threads with our “witty” banter. Apparently not everyone thinks we’re as funny as we do. I took the criticism to heart and decided to roll back the rejoinders. Now, I typically only take a shot when the thread has either reached its zenith or an impasse. (Sometimes, though, an opening is just too tasty…)
What I’m seeing now is potentially a worse trend: even the most innocuous posts are met with replies with not-so-subtle combative undertones. The OT is turning into a battleground not only for political topics, but for silly discussions, as well. I’m recently guilty of this, myself. For that, I owe apologies to Discrat and Kurt.
For the most part, I see this as an issue of tone, rather than all-out personal attacks. Tone is a slippery slope in the written word. Consider that when replying to your fellow OT’er. For example, Claude and I have an understanding. There are things I say to him I’d never consider saying to someone else (with the exception of, maybe, Terra…
). We both know there’s never an ill intention. Does your response convey your intention or could it easily be misinterpreted?
With that, I suggest that the OT bar refrain from stocking whiskey. Instead, maybe we should just pass a jay. It’d mellow everyone the hell out and maybe help move the Funyuns that have been sitting in the cellar for a few years.

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.
