David you just don't get it. Where I come from, smack is the time honored
rhetorical tradition of trash-talk, including, but not exclusive to mom-bashing.
Smack is not bad for you, in some circles its a great source for humor, and
sharpening of the critical wit.

I'm not sure who made you the arbiter of of good taste and the proper measure of
attitude, but spare me the high horse, brother. I realize that lugnet is not
really the proper forum for most smack, so I confine it to mocpages where I find
a greater freedom to dole out my brand of humor. Its not for everyone, so go to
brickshelf next time, don't expose yourself to the irritant. I always offer a
smack-free option. Yes, I crossed the line with the c.w. reference in this
thread. I was taken to task by the good curator, and I won't make the same
mistake again. If you don't like this brand of humor, tune out. I don't post
that often, and I see it as a small change of pace from the regular, oustanding,
civilized, friendly fare. But by criticizing my attutude, you have yourself
partaken of a smack-sandwich, and that is too cool. And as for respect...ah its
overrated and at the end of the day won't buy you a cup o' coffee. You are
right about one thing though. I am childish, not selfish, but definetly
childish. Don't we all play with toys here...?

Obviously I'm up to it, I raised the support pillars. What, now I can't offer
an opinion on the changes? There you go being the arbiter again.
> Honest enough for you?!
Of course, this is what I'm trying to get at. If my Mausers suck (which judging
by the current tally of votes they do) then I want to hear it. I'd rather have
Jon Palmer tell me my mech sucks, than Jimmy-moc-maker telling me great job!
Keep building! I don't get my feelings hurt, I love the smack, the bottom line
is... I think its funny, and I know I'm not alone.

Thanks for the props David, and I have seen Equilibrium, you are right, its a
great b-movie.

Who's your daddy, Dave?
