Li'l ol' flame-retardant me?

[serene]

I don't know why, but flame wars don't generally upset me. They just feel like more info about the participants, more than anything else. My feelings get hurt if I'm the one being flamed, but usually only briefly, and often with the result that I find out I've been being stupid. It bothers me, of course, that it hurts people I care about, but I just can't get myself too worked up about the flames themselves. (But I *loathe* it when people send flames in private email, as I've heard some do. I think it's cowardly and reprehensible.)

I'm soooo hungry. I think I'll brave the raindrops and drive somewhere with good vegan sushi. Mmmmmmm, avocado rollllls.

Avocado rolls? Where?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that people reveal far more about themselves during most flame wars than they do about the topic at hand.

More importantly, avocado rolls are one of my all-time favorite foods! I usually get them from the local Whole Foods as a reward for being a "nice teacher" on class days.

Yum!

San Diego is on your way home.

What? You say I don't know where you live? True, but nonetheless, given a sufficiently circuitous route, San Diego is on your way home.

Well, yes, I suppose I could manage that -- though it may be hard to explain the couple thousand mile detour. Definately too far to walk, though, which is how I usually get home from work. Wanna come pick me up?

Cool! Just let me know when to expect you -- anytime you find yourself here, I'll be sure to be available.

We'd better bring Lyngine along, and cute-poet-chick too.
