fingertroubleIt's been remarked before that the internet works on playground principles and it's true.
It always amazes me that people can say really hurtful things, play really dirty, but when you wrestle with them and go too far they stomp off and say 'not fair! I'M NOT PLAYING!'. If they'd been so sensitive to begin with, they'd have realised that picking a fight might not be such a wise thing to do (and no I'm not talking the 'incomplete medium' accidental thing, I'm talking the 'pull you down and roll in the dirt' fight picking).
Which is strange as in the other playground ephiphet, 'well you started it'. *shrugs*
Well I suppose the person left standing has won, maybe the first one to cry is the loser like the playground? If so I have a special gift in pushing the right button when someone has a go...yay me!
Err...
