Bashing is what happens when blood is in the water and pile on begins to see how fast we can get someone banned.

That seems to be the way things have been headed lately.

Is the Asylum flooding?

I don't see that happening in this thread.

You could maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) make a case that it happened in another thread recently, but I think the membership here, by and large, shows a great deal of restraint. Not everyone. Not 100% of the time. But most everyone, most of the time is willing to live and let live.

That's not to say that some guys don't deserve what they get. If I come into your house and start talking all kinds of bullsh!t, I'd expect to get socked in the mouth -- even if I do have an internet article that backs up my claim. Personally, I've had a number of disagreements with guys -- even mods -- over the years, and not once did I find the need to resort to petty name calling or mockery. I can disagree with someone in an agreeable manner. But if I acted like a petulant child, I'd expect I'd be treated like one.

Just to be clear -- this wasn't directed at Darrell.

Apologies if anyone took it that way.
