LOL Ever see one of your threads do a Hindenberg?
You start with a silly premise, full of mock angst and light rants about nothing, really. It's a lark. Suddenly a whole host of people bring their own insecurities, side issues and agendas to the dialogue, and pretty soon people start misunderstanding one another and forgetting where everyone else is coming from and accusing each other of not listening to them and before long your thread stretches and stretches to accomodate everyone's interpretation of "tone" and it's become a humorless, bloated hydrogen gas bag ready to explode.
