Actually, when the dust settled, it actually WAS a pretty good day for me there.

I may have to run over there to see that thread.

In any case, props to MFM!

(And PS: Fuck all those beer threads. Bud has a new 'Lime-a-Rita' that already is so popular that my local liquor store has been advised that they may not get another delivery for 3 weeks. I tried it, and it's VERY good. Tastes like a Margarita, but technically it's a pale ale. Gotta pace yourself, though, because the alcohol content is about twice that of beer. The 12-packs have 8-ounce cans, but the 24-ounce singles seem to be really popular.)

We know you're usually laid-back and very funny, so the thought of you jousting in Meta is a real HOOT, lol!

The Forum & Group Hosts Forum got more contentious... though the support backing my post
was both impressive and gratifying. I usually like to think positively about people and, for the
most part, that Forum did not disappoint.

I also try to think positively of people, and to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Even when people screw up, there may be a reason for it--even if it's not valid.

I think our hosts here on DU are pretty smart--so it's no surprise that you found support there. And hey, man, our MIR team is fantastic! So even if someone's gunning for you, you have many, many here who will have your back.

I'm not ashamed to say that I love you, MFM. You truly are a DU treasure.

I haven't gone over there yet, but I probably should check it out at some point. Will I support you or jump all over you? Only the Shadow knows.

Sometimes it's kinda like passing a wreck on the freeway. Just can't look away.

And BTW MFM, bravo for your post.

because the drama there makes my family look like The Brady Bunch.


And also because I'm a sick puppy who likes rubbernecking at planetary explosions and passing black holes
