I feel the same way about you guys. I have nothing but respect and love to come to this board. I can really loosen my tie here and get down and dirty. I know most of you know this already but we have some members here placing damn nice and on their way to national level - male AND female! It's really impressive!
We have brawn. We have brains. We have breasts (and not just on the women either!). I say breasts because I don't think you really can have an all-around good place without breasts. Even the girls would agree.
Also, and trust me on this - I really hate to ban anyone! It really is my least favorite thing to do on this board. It sucks. And not one member who has crossed the line and later explained that they were having a bad week or month or whatever has been left banned. Not my style. Okay, so I'm hard on the noobs. True. But this sport/hobby/lifestyle is fraught with dangers. A little hazing here and there will do them good in the long run.
I can't tell you how funny people are. I remember when we all stayed up to the wee hours talking about thermodynamics and cosmology. I kept picturing guys sitting in their computer chairs curling a 45lber while typing, "I disagree. I feel the law of diminishing returns as it pertains to cosmology is completely invalid unless you believe the universe is a closed system." It was funny as hell.
