We're all human and emotions, a days weight and beliefs spill over as is expected. But at the end of the day when you experience the same personalities over years you come to know what to expect and take it with a grain of salt and keep keeping on. Life's too short to sweat the dumb shit. I'm not even sure what the topic is now or what we're talking about but I'm currently making some killer pork butt. Carry on.


I know big picture this is but a grain of sand in a vast beach, but the time we do spend on here is because we want to... certainly not like other things in life that are obligations. And yes.... "He who is without sin...." and all that. Stubborn, hard-headed, we've all been there done that. But you'd think after exchanging pleasantries, even on a forum, over a period of years, that there would be just a little more empathy and understanding. Personally, I don't get this "I don't get angry" or "insults mean nothing to me" BS. It's empty posturing. If you're made of flesh and blood, and last time I checked all human beings still were, you're going to have emotions. Certain things are going to get under your skin. Kudos to you, personally, and other Mods like Master and Andre (I may have forgotten one or two). You're the ones who tend to keep it mild and lukewarm in here. You leave the fighting and bickering to us plebes. The way it should be in a forum. That's why you guys make the big bucks. And yes, after a certain number of years, you get to know each others' personalities on here and.... just like in a neighborhood bar.... you're gonna like some people and not others. To pretend emotion is not part of a forum is well..... let's just say it's untrue to put it mildly. BTW, I'd offer some seasoning tips on that pork butt, because there's NOTHING like Puerto Rican roast pork..... but I know you guys down in the bayou know all about seasoning.
