Steve, dammit man, I will lose a bit of the mountain of respect I have for you if you leave because of his shit... Make the poll and of course you have my vote, but damn, I had to look up what admonish means.
Alec... Shit man, take an example from me; I only talk shit to lighten the mood or to profess my lack of knowledge on a subject. I invite the ridicule to myself; not focus it on someone else. These are the keys to productive shit talking and shit talking is truly only acceptable when productive. Otherwise it is mainly negative and do we rally need more negativity in the world?
