I think you guys are missing the point. I have always been just fine with others' opinions. It was a humorous thread, and I think it might actually be my third mocking thread of this sort. I don't care if you all want to trash everything. It just comes to a point where it's really annoying to hear so much whining. If folks are misconstruing my thread as a genuinely emotional thread, you didn't get the joke. It was a joke. I tend to use winkies when I'm joking, but since I was trying to make a...sardonic thread, I was creating a sort of character applicable only to the thread. If you read many of my posts, I'm in a very similar camp to the rest of you. A thicker skin is not needed in this case, nor is a need to deal with it. The Internet is full of whiners, and I wanted to make a commentary about it. If anyone else has a problem, I think they're the ones who need the sunglasses, because if I'd realized this silly thread would provoke such defensive reactions, I wouldn't have even started it. It was meant to be funny.

This is what happens when I try to make a humorous point without using emoticons.
