and I believe there have been many conversations in the past on this board where one felt quite comfortable interjecting one's self because one had "something to say"

It is supposed to be a board to engage with other posters with humor and one would think, as adults, with respect as opposed to calling someone out because ONE doesn't happen to appreciate the way they post. Maybe Stoogie should post signs with the code of conduct.
