So you could have educated him without the snarky point that you've ignored him?

My read of your two comments is that you made a point of announcing your vote, while tangentially touching on what sitex.com is about.

You wouldn't tell the guy yelling in a library about how great the books are there. You kick him out, and if he comes back in a calmer mood, then we can talk about getting him a library card.

Yelling louder is always the best course of action.

Of course :) In all seriousness, I probably should not have been so rude. I'm just very used to people being very serious and thoughtful here.

There should be a bit of room for silly, in most places.

But, more importantly, there should always be room for 'new'. Otherwise, it's the same people saying the same things.

Still, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. Salty is a really nice guy, even if his first post missed the mark.

I'm hope I didn't come off as an asshole either. I really am just trying to make this site the best it can be for what it is meant to be. Hopefully you and salty enjoy your time here, I find its a fantastic place to discuss with people who are interesting and insightful.
