I think I know what is tolerated and what isn't. I've been around here since before there WAS a here, thanks. I walk a fine line sometimes, but there are some people, like you, and lucas, and iconoclast, that can't function in this kind of environment.
Folks like you are common online, and online is really the only place that you can limp on without holding your tongue or getting a bloody nose. Given that Iconoclast can't resist ratcheting up his rhetoric to top the last steamer he left on the forums, eventually he'll say the wrong thing at the wrong time. If it were my site, he'd have been gone at the "pigs" blog, but it isn't.
You and lucas can't handle discussions without taking them personally. Therefore you will always be the victim, steaming away and mourning your wounds. You're not good at it, so when you try and reciprocate you just make an idiot out of yourself and make yourself feel even worse.
Eventually, people like that implode, too. Over the years I've seen people like you come and go, and I have managed to hang around. Maybe tomorrow I'll forget to take my zinc and get myself exiled, who knows. Today, though, you can't really compare what I am to what you guys are, because you aren't even in the same ballpark.
