Joy is an emotion. I wonder if DQ would have anything to say about your finding joy in annoying and ridiculing people?I've gotten used to the way you express yourself and I really don't think that you mean any harm by it.
If there was no "invective", this place would be as fun as a library on Sunday. And, I suspect that some who have come and gone, citing an "unfriendly" atmosphere were merely seeking an echo chamber to validate their beliefs. Their idea of a "friendly environment" is one wherein they control the narrative. Some of them were no slouches when it came to hurling insults themselves.
True
One whose come and gone repeatedly, recently asked me if I'd considered suicide........
But, I'm supposed to be cordial and polite to him?
On a cold day in hell, John.

I wondered about that myself. I think it was Boreas that pointed out that the same language was posted on several other sites. I would like to know if the posts were Pukka Sahib's own ideas or if they were lifted from someone else.

See what happens when you are away from the forum for a while? I missed all this and posted the above!

Last night you would have been in the majority. I went to a college baseball game last night, and all five pitchers who made their way into the game were lefties. First time I had ever seen that.

That's really unusual! Good for us!
Hey, you know what the Latin for left is?
Sinister.
It can also mean inappropriate or adverse.
Now tell me I'm not discriminated against!

Ah but John since it is the opposite hemisphere of the brain with refernce to the body you lafties are the only ones in your right mind.
Yes and even today opthalmologists still use 'sinister' on the prescription for glasses - go figure
