35. I admit I have engaged in a couple of free-for-alls
but not from superiority, for the sport. I find that once a thread has gone over a couple hundred replies, everyone's pretty much stopped listening and it's branched among so many people, you're not picking on any one individual. I've also seen threads in which every response is to a single individual and normally stand down; unless, of course, that person is making a point of firing back at each responder. That is their sport - an endurance test of sorts - and shouldn't be confused with someone trying to make a legitimate point and is attacked for it.

That's why I like coming over here to have these sorts of broader discussions. The one-liners are so GDP!
