How dare I misread one of your Highnesses pearls that you’ve deigned to cast before the swine of this board. I shall avert my eyes whenever you walk past so as to avoid soiling Your Majesty’s Empire any further.
I have noticed a new tendency on the board to get this kind of reaction to posts. I have no issue with people getting upset with me, but this is different, and I want to know where it is coming from. I have been here a long time, and I am an opinionated person, but I don’t see that this “he thinks he runs the place” reaction to me is warranted.
What’s up?
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”
Looks like you came across an idiot. It happens a lot here.
Thanks for joining in!

I'm not sure it's a trend, Reverend, as opposed to a clash of personalities.
he/him we all just have to live through it,
holding each other’s hands.
I think some new visitors are not accustomed to engaging in heated but healthy academic debate.
It isn't you.
Cheers!
Hmmm. . . . Could be. Perhaps I am just so used to the Cassius University vibe that I forget others of more recent arrival may not be.
Thanks, Dr. Moore!

That helps explain why my macaroni necklace I gave your for Christmas didn't seem to go over so well.
Hey, that makes two of us. I didn’t know I was royalty either, but my board persona does have a gluten intolerance!

I don't think it's new visitors. In this particular case, it's from a long-timer.
Hmmm. . . OK. So maybe a clash of personalities then. I mean, there are long-timers and there are loooong-timers. But you would think those who have been here for at least a few years would get the shtick.
