You know I can not recall the last time someone refered to me as a "stinker". In fact, you may be the first.
Ahhhh...but it is so appropriate for you! I can spot a stinker from miles away, and you're definately one of 'em 8O :lol: . I've often admired your stealth at slipping little bombs into a thread, then sitting back to see who would flinch, who would choke, who would run and who would point a finger!
Whatever the case, it is a means of causing others to assess their position and respond quickly, frequently with highly entertaining knee-jerk reactions. Ever notice that flamage against certain types of stinkers will often cause an explosion?
Greg can be a stinker too, but he has a much more angelic way of presenting the package. :wink: :lol:
Stinkers work hard to hone their style and skills, but the basic personality pattern is quite similar. Vehement denial is
absolutely mandatory if a stinker is to be successful. Some have an knack for being able to appear innocent, while others choose to intelligently expound on the quality and substance of their contribution. A personal observation....those who can shift and juggle methods at appropriate times often find themselves on a fast track into the field of politics.
Don't be offended, Tery. Some of the best discussions I've seen in this forum have been originated by stinkers. You would never have survived here for this long if you were as serious as you contend you are.
Butticons, eh? Hmmmm.....not a bad idea. If one could develop and sell a package of redi-made butticons to chat forums I think a fortune could be made. Can I get a portion of the royalties for helping to lead you to this idea? Kind of like a contributor to intellectual property? :roll: :wink:
