Irony, thy name is Byrne.

Perhaps you care to show us some instances of me deliberately
misrepresenting a situation, or running off rather than standing behind my
words?

Well, I meant more the way you get into ridiculous arguments, batten down the hatches when things don't go your way and let the flying monkeys pile on.  You know, that thing.

So Ed anyone that happens to agree with John in this thread are just "flying monkeys"?  Really?  Nice way to introduce yourself to the forum!

Wow. From zero to jackass in four posts.

Sadly, I bet that's not a record.

No Matt, of course not.  I'm talking about the meltdown threads here.

You'll have to do better than that, Ed, if that answer was supposed to
indicate that JB is doing in this very thread what you're claiming he is. Page
& post number from this thread, please, of a specific concrete example.

Thanks!

Then why say "flying monkeys" at all? 

In any event, I hardly think anyone is melting down in this thread.  Contentious debate, yes.  Meltdown?  Hardly.

It's heading that way, ain't it?  Erik Larsen's been pretty civil to my mind and he's met with some harsh responses.

I was being facetious with the flying monkeys thing, okay?  You got me!
