Re: I don't want your mug on my nodes ...

Your "clever" little trick of creating a node that happened to be a link to your random picture display, is rather annoying. As a saint here, and possibly as a "respected" person, I'd expect more from you than petty tricks.

It seems that perhaps, if you wanted to gain respect, you would point this error out to vroom, so he could fix it when he gets around to it, but you instead decided to exploit it: Congratulations. Here comes a -- from me.

It was not my intent to leave it that way last night. I left it on for a few minutes so the others in the CB could see that it was (again) possible. I left before I remembered to change it back.

Chill dude. Take a happy pill or something. Stop putting me up on a pedestal just so you can watch me fall. Stop attributing to malice what can be explained by stupidity!

Although this doesn't even deserve a reply, let me tell you what I now trigger on. In this post, you said:

As a saint here, and possibly as a "respected" person, ....

The moment you invoke a role you've put me in, that's putting me on a pedestal. If I was just an ordinary guy, and had done that, would you have been as upset? If so, why did you feel the need to single out my role for you?

I'll stand by my claim. You put me on a pedestal just so you can knock it out from under me. Please stop that.

And any other post here that criticizes me with "because you're a saint here, BLAH BLAH", or "because you're a respected member of the community, BLAH BLAH", I'm now ignoring. Period. I'm just an average joe. Get over it. If your argument depends on some status you've assigned me, you've just weakened it. Make the same case without that, and I'll listen.
