Yeah, I figured it was one of those "When Intertubing Goes Awry" type scenarios.
As far as angering the locals... done there... been that... not particularly interested in returning. Rage has very nearly killed me on multiple occasions and for various reasons in my somewhat short existence so I figured I'd better chill the frack out lest I face the heart zapper paddles at a young age or end up in front of a judge.
Neither are my idea of a good and/or productive time. Besides, there are very few regulars here who make me do more than aggressively roll my eyes. Pretty good bunch of dudes.
