[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5145511, member: 19675"] I didn't vote on the second part of the poll, but I wouldn't be surprised to find myself on a few ignore lists. While I try to be even-tempered, I can sometimes be a bit terse with my prose, and coupled with a momentary lapse of good mood (or judgement, or even a simple editing error), that can make for a testy post or two. For example, back when there was that uproar about the Danish cartoons depicting Mohammed, I [I]intended[/I] to give advice to someone else regarding avoiding a certain course of action that might stir up the same kind of ire...and I accidentally edited the post in such a way that it read like an indictment of Islam [I]as a whole.[/I] For which I got a 2 day ban or some such, and deservedly so. It was my post, and I should have been paying better attention to what I wrote. I tried to apologize for that in General, but it got ported to Meta (and rightfully so). But as a result of the whole thing, I'd be amazed if someone didn't take offense to that and filled in the relevant blanks with my screen name. [/QUOTE]
