@thebobeternal,
I will knock you up (in a friendly here is a thumb point kind of way).
This is a dying community... the people here are divided into two extreme (and nasty) political sides and most of what you will see here insults being hurled by people in old feuds. There are a few of us who will try to engage with either side for a reasonable discussion, but that doesn't work very much.
Don't take it personally. Don't take anything here personally. The current election season is making things worse, but people around here have been in surly moods.
Welcome.
