You put your foot in your mouth by insulting "ALL WEBTV USERS" and then when Dan S. calls you up on it, you do your usual dance of backpeddling to try and diffuse the situation,and try to add me into the equation for good measure as the culprit for "YOUR" comments.
They see you say things like you don't freakin care, and dance monkeyboy, but then they also see you get irate and go ballistic, which is a clear signal that you "DO" care and that the things said must be true, or you wouldn't be so bent out of shape over it!
And I believe that your comparison with Cliff Clavin REALLY hit home with you and that's why you lost it.
