Rabrrrrrr and a lot of the old timers on this board have formed relationships both IRL and online. When Rabrrrrrr rants, it's funny because he has been doing it for years. It takes some time to get the ebb and flow of the lounge and figure out who can take the sarcasm and who can't, and people naturally gravitate towards posters who, at least in this forum, make them laugh.

You got taken to task today because nini has been here forever, everyone knows she doesn't have a bigoted bone in her body and because you are relatively new, (and I don't mean that as a slam at all, we were all new at one time) it seemed to folks that you were giving nini a hard time.

Frankly, if Rabrrrrr or matcom had said it, it wouldn't have gone the way it did because nini knows them. Just look at the part of this thread where matcom is screaming at Big for taking his kids into a restaurant.

A lot of these relationships have evolved via PM as well and it really helps to solidify a friendship, albeit a virtual one.

That being said, enjoy the lounge!
