Have you really convinced yourself that all the stuff you people said to us on PA and here was/is just in good fun? Did you think that calling people terrorists, racists, phobes of every type, Nazis, traitors, whatever was something normal people say to others?

Dope-

I first read your posts on PA about 2005 when I began reading and posting on PA. You were a verbal bomb thrower even back then. I confess to occasionally tipping over into inflammatory rhetoric as well, but “inflammatory” has been your default mode for years.

Cheer up. The medium of social media encourages reflexive posting that is divorced from the responsibility of having to acknowledge each other as real life human beings, not the monsters our imaginations blow them up to be.

Kudos to folks like albaby and WTH (and others) who seem able to negotiate that landscape better than the rest of us. They are models of behavior that all of us would do well to emulate.

At least those are my thoughts.
