It's always been my perception that that is the perception of the people who
don't actually spend any time here...because I gotta tell you, I've far more
than once had my pants yanked up around my head by folks here...sometimes
rightfully, sometimes not, but it doesn't stop the pants-yanking from happening
in the first place.

Only difference is you don't have a lot of folks here who just yell YOU SUCK!
all the time.

Though I *have* considered making t-shirts emblazoned with JOE YOU SUCK! on
them to sell at conventions...I mean, give people what they want, right...?
