I'm sorry if I appeared somewhat thin-skinned in a recent thread. A couple of remarks just struck me the wrong way at a time when I had a lot of worries on my mind. Should have just shrugged it off, ignored it, or come up with a witty reply. I play small-stakes poker fairly regularly with a group of guys around here. We dont play for the money really, though it's nice to drag a decent pot; we mostly play for the opportunity to give each other a hard time. The term "S.O.B." gets tossed around pretty regularly with no hard feelings. But if an utter stranger were to call one of us that, we'd feel differently. Maybe it's a southern thing (don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these "South's gonna do it again types." Not that's there's anything wrong with that. Please don't get mad at me if you fit that description...go ahead, get mad if you want, just don't call me a wannabe. Unless you want to. By the way A.A., you could just step back. Or reach out on it and hinge it over, then cut it off. Did that sound stupid? Please don't call me a noob... unless you want to.
