Surrounded by 8 pit pulls today, I barely escaped with my life

[IrishAyes]

182. Please

Do not put words in my mouth. All I was trying to do, really, was to point out that flying off the handle does no good, impresses no one, and it nullifies an argument to behave in like manner with the lowest common denominator. You choose how to behave and at which level. It depends on whether you really want to influence another's thinking or just shoot your mouth off.

Now I'm done explaining Life 101 to incoming freshmen.

Twist that any way you like.

As an afterthought, you can probably relax and not expect me to show up in the next pitt-themed thread. I've already seen enough and wouldn't hold out much hope of progress. This has been an interesting but still fairly wasteful use of my time. Any more and it would amount to howling at the moon.
