I think that any of us can become quite irritated by others, and maybe sometimes that comes out worse than other times.  Likely, aspects of our real life personas come out through these WO thread postings, too (and some of that can be irritating to others).  For what it is worth, I even get annoyed, sometimes, by my personality when I go back to read some of my own old posts...   

Now, I am going to announce to each of my IRL friends, (what few that I have), that my black cowboy homosexual interwebs frienimy, BobLawBlaw and I have officially "made up".  We are back to toleration status.. no homo..
