For the record...
I think I treated Bowser with more respect than he deserved in a few isolated cases, and I do my best to try and avoid the "you blithering, idiotic dickwad" mode, although sometimes the strain is almost unbearable.
While I don't claim that I have never fallen off the "boogerhead" wagon, I think I do pretty well keeping it civil, especially where Bowser and some others are concerned. And I am confident long-time posters would back me up on this.
It's also worth pointing out that many of the liberal posters here are more tolerant than one would expect when they are rudely provoked as well. This is a good place to hang out.
