[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 2273424, member: 6533"] If you're ok with being a churl, I'm okay with you being a churl. Or at least posting like one. I meant no offense by it, simply to illuminate what Mac Callum might be responding to. We're a friendly board and I appreciate it that people are watching out for each other's style. In a prior thread I used the term prejuidice in what I felt was a perfectly innocuous sense, was called on it, and was only too happy to respond and adapt to the criticisms. Many of the posters I most respect most have gone through similar processes in any number of threads. I'm certainly happy to elucidate further on the subject of snark, but really it's only the smallest of sins and a not illegitimate style of posting. My only point was to illuminate a potential point of irritation so that it might be smoothed over, not to defame anyone's sense of sophisitication in argumentation and style. I might do that under other circumstances, but it's really not apropos to anything at hand including the current posters. [/QUOTE]
