He didn't come across as playful at all, Danny, though if he was all he's got to do is say so and I'll be happy to amend my new opinion of him. I don't think he'll do that, though, he was worked up enough to whine about me in two different threads and to keep calling me names long after I walked away. That's not a dry sense of humor, that's butthurt.
On the other hand, I was being playful. Smilies and everything. Come hang out in the Classics section for a bit, you'll see there's nobody in there afraid of giving or taking a little goodnatured grief - I get back just as much as I give out, and I take it with a smile. But sometimes when you're insecure and defensive, it's hard to see the difference between between a gentle ribbing and actual insults. I'm pretty sure that's what happened here - Philly saw malice where none was intended, and he flew off the handle. He's welcome to prove me wrong. But don't tell me I can't take a joke when I'm the one that was joking in the first place.
