So courtesy is taboo these days?
I would be offended if I didn't understand human nature well enough to know that some people just need to hear themselves talk, no matter how stupid whatever it is being said may be.
I have not been active here for a few years, but I am starting to dabble again. I was even a moderator for a while. I am sure there are many here who remember me, and would vouch that I have never shilled anything for anyone on this site.
Go ahead review any of my 2149 posts over the last decade, then come back and challenge my credibility.
And next time you are about to say something stupid, think twice and remember that in most cases, silence is golden.
