Twank's comment was content-free except for provoking poemless.
Actually I don't agree, the content is clear; he's claiming that she tends to over-react quite often. In my view that's true, which is why I said she has a short fuse (cf. someone's comment). Once she got upset with Sven - of all people ! - who was politely puzzled about how he could possibly have given offense.
Twank's prediction about her response could be seen as a way of dissuading her from doing so, rather than provoking her. If she did respond he could claim to be vindicated, while if she didn't, he could claim to have made her reconsider her pattern of behaviour. Perhaps we should applaud rather than condemn :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Seriously - that's not cool. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Did I mention this whole thread is an example of why I haven't been around ET much, lately? Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
Which means that Ted's statement that Twank's comment is a-okay is not subject to empirical refutation based on your reaction or lack thereof. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

Oh come on - what has been SO terrible about it? We've had an interesting discussion of the nature of trolling :-) What's the big deal? Poemless isn't upset - she's been very "sane" about it :-)
I don't need mood medication - apart from the occasional glass of something alcoholic - and then fortunately it's a want rather than a need.
By the way - I realise being a FPer is a thankless task - but don't take it too seriously - or the trolls will be after you :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
LOL! Of all the people, too... LOL! Ok, that was funny. You get funny point for that. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
