			Maybe attack is under attack? We all want to be happy and in peace all the time, and we attack anybody with a strong opinion because it threatens the illusion that we are all a big family, all nice people with nice identical bland opinions (which is, by the way, the complete opposite of what a family really is).  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Who attacked first, that's the question. And the answer is: the other guy did, of course. Or maybe the question is: what's wrong with attack, if it stays verbal? Maybe what we need to do is learn to cope with it. Oops, sorry, I know this is supposed to be a silly thread

			Florence, I think you're right! People aren't always happy either, unless they have something to attack. Look at the prevalence of lawsuits (at least in the US). Life became too easy for some and they are filling their time.   
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I don't mind a silly thread becoming serious, either, or having serious points made. I'm not a thread elitist
