I'm going to guess you're JD> not the sort of person who does well when your own attitude is reflected JD> back at you. Since I do not recall ever conversing with a Joe Doom, I'll politely say that everyone gets "one chance" with me... everyone, doesn't matter who it is. I've been warned by many about one particular supposedly-nasty Sysop not being "trustworthy" yet that individual actually turned out okay and is considered a close friend for 16 years now of trading personal silly banter via Netmail. Likewise I've been introduced to Sysops who are apparently brilliant, smart, highly technical/scientific, etc... you name it... yet they would initiate something with me in the most condescending flaming rude manner imaginable, even outright cutting a conversation short because I do not have IPV6 or run whatever Linux flavour was popular that month. Some Sysops also like to flame me unprovoked, out of the blue, with no prior context, just because I have a certain stature in another message net or develop a very popular mailer used by many; both of which mean nothing in the context of being able to trade silly banter. So yes... I am a person that does very well when someone tries to take me to task. Its almost always over something stupid.
