Okay.

Awww Grandpa Big Mike. What a great guy.

Kind of reminds me of the Pied Piper. But then again most of greekchat reminds me of him. Wasn't he the one the mice followed?

Since this forum exists for us to talk and debate about stuff, I assume that people are interested in debate and might even enjoy disagreement for the sake of teasing out and strengthening their own opinions.

I don't think I've ever said anything I'd be completely ashamed of online or anything (well, if I thought long enough, I'm sure I could think of something), but sometimes I post without considering things as much as I would if I were sending out a neighborhood newsletter.

Therein lies possibly the biggest difference in face to face interactions vs non face to face.

I can think of a few times where the discourse between you and I has forced me to strengthen my argument, especially using my educational background.

I don't think any of those threads have involved the use of "sweetheart," "bitch please," or "go back and research it." And I know they haven't involved the use of "get over it."

The Pied Piper talked about assholes and horses asses????

Yes, the mice followed him. Or the children? Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, too.

I do know that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, does that help?

How well you knew me and so on.

And I am pretty much the same way...we could talk about it (in real time) make our points and move on and probably come to an amicable POV and continue...here is the kicker...what about beyond work?

It would be the same beyond work, except that my social universe is 75-85 percent based on work. And I think Holder's take is pretty accurate that most of us are pretty segregated in our purely social lives. Not deliberately or consciously, for most of us, but it works out that way.

I feel the same way, and that's why I come back for more.

I confess that I've called DS, "baby," I think, or something kind of like it. I think it was in the thread where he posted pictures of himself before the inauguration.

I think it upset him pretty badly.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I am shocked that we agree on that.

Many of the commentators were taken aback by his statement.

You didn't get it, but I'm sure someone on here did or will....eventually.
