Hey, mind taking a step back a little? I'm not really for arguing on the internet.

No, I can browse the discussion and I don't expect him to repeat himself. Now, mind explaining what you want me to look for or do you just want to keep trying to pick a fight?

Look, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but it is obvious that kleinbl00 has written a lot of words on this thread - thoughtful words, wherein he explains several times that it's NOT because he's cheap. SB comes in and says (without looking at the discussion, apparently) that he "ought to post something beyond "it's stupid, I hate it"". (which he HAD ALREADY DONE).

Seems clear to me that SB is the one who is not contributing to this discussion - the very thing he's accused KB of (in addition to telling him "not to be a dick about it"). I called him on it, and you're defending him - you think he had a point, I guess, because KB was being mean or something. I guess maybe you missed the meanness in what SB said, and his link.

Did I miss anything?

Right, and we get his point now. I just think he really should have made an effort to do that in his first post, because that sort of comment garners this sort of response.

At the time SB chimed in, KB had already written several long paragraphs, and there were fewer than a dozen comments total, then - so it wasn't difficult to see who was shotgun-commenting and who was not. But I see your point, and it seems that there is also deeper context between commenters here, which I'm not aware of - some bad blood or something.

Sorry to have come across as confrontational. Writing in haste; I should have tempered my words a little better. Cheers.
