Your 'dare' me. LOL. OK, it's just a matter of time. I've done this so
many times before, exactly this very thing.

I thought I was. Been told I'm a 'straight shooter' often enough.

Well, see, with due respect you haven't been here as long as many of
us. Is she polite and uses non-offensive language? Yes. Is she of good
character? I would submit she is not. I can think of a few examples,
but what's the point mentioning now without direct links to her posts
(I couldn't be bothered). Put it another way, how many here reply to
her at all in a polite manner... ask yourself why that is.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree on that. I see no
correlation between joking and necessarily wishing ill on somebody, or
gloating over their misfortune. I'm definitely a black humour type of
guy. If you think this is bad, you'd have a seizure on posts/memes I
see elsewhere.
I smashed my big toe badly about 5 weeks ago, and only now able to
wear my boots again. I made lots of self-deprecating jokes about
myself. I just don't get why people have your point of view, I really
don't.

Oh, OK. Apart from Bryan, who else?
