Thanks for your support, MRWSM, but I have big shoulders and I can handle this stuff. People, particularly insecure people, are intimidated by what they don't understand and thus they tend to take it personally. The instinctive defense mechanism is to attack, particularly when they are comfortable with the fact that they will not suffer any harm as a result of the attack.

"Ernie" is an undergrad psych student at Penn State, his major includes some course work during which he demonstrates how easy it is to upset a peacful law abiding community using only simple 2nd-year psych techniques, mainly
* incessant and truly annoying repetition of inane and uncontestable 'facts'
* sexual-related bragging to lower the limbo bar
* reduction of an intellectual pursuit to physical lowest common denominator
* crude attempts to create fictional supporting characters to 'assist'
etc etc
If anyone would like to contest this, feel free.
So if I'm in Miami, you want to fight me? I haven't had a fight in over 25 years. You want to fight me because you are smaller than I am? How strange. Do you ask to fight everyone on this board? Have you ever discussed this urge with anyone?
By the way, 5'11" and 195 is not little. It is above average. And while I'm saying nice things about El Cubano, I will add that he was "above average" enough to apologize publicly after he substantiated my claims that I did indeed graduate from Wharton.
