I don't recall the incident you speak of, but don't beat yourself up
over it. I believe I hold the current RFC record for rudeness and
obscenity, and I'm working real hard to make sure it doesn't happen
again. It IS very easy to lose your temper with some folks
(especially when they accuse you of raping your daughter) but it's not
worth it to get all worked up over a "virtual personality". I have to
believe he's not like this at all in real life - otherwise someone
would have "offed" him by now <G>. In spite of everything, now I find
Sheldon more entertaining and humorous. I had him killfiled for a
while, but RFC just wasn't the same. You know Wayne, it's amazing
just how much some people transform when sitting behind a keyboard.
They say stuff that would get them beat to a pulp if they tried it in
the real world. It's a psychological mystery, because many people are
transparently "real" online, while others adopt a dark side. Who
knows?
