Glad you're here! I do admit though, we were kicked in the teeth and danced upon and pissed on in 2000 and also in 2004. So I can fully understand the wish for a little payback. I have long believed that a little mortification is good for the soul. It might even help the soul-less like wrongney and his little pet teabagger.

But the preference for taking the high road - well, it is indeed the more noble thing, and I do appreciate it. It's just a little harder for some of us to get to, considering the history and the context.
