Strange that
I`ve only been on here for a short time and watching the mindless bile spouted in some quarters makes me worry for the human race if this is the next generation.
How many of these bile spouting imbeciles would even dare say any of it face to face to the person

Get an avatar! :) As to what you're saying... Do what I do, and filter out the nonsense. Then occasionally you'll find some decent people, discussions and ideas.

Thank you for your tip which for the large part is positive
However I do have a problem with Your insistence/demand i get an avatar
How will the silly picture have any relevance to the point I am making?
Am I only relevant if i fit into your idea of how my post looks?

Have you heard of cognitive dissonance?
You seem to be displaying it rather well

lol I was joking. It's a silly and very trivial thing, and if I think about it at all (because I largely typed it without thinking) I was poking fun of myself for even letting it bother me at all.

ok
thanks for explaining it
I`ve taken what was meant to be a joke wrong. My humour gets taken wrong often enough
I apologise. I just tend to get on a high horse about certain things

@scotsbiguy: No worries. :) Easy mistake to make when you don't know someone and the communication is via text.

@Aletheia: yep as good as the tech is for communicating wit people you would never normally get to. and can instantly be in touch, It can`t get the inflections in the speech that let you know it is a joke
Thanks for accepting my apology btw
