And maybe he didn't understand the pressure that trolls put on people over there...it's hard not to make snap judgments.<br /><br />You're both right about the big words, though. Or at least, you're right roughly half the time. Sometimes I do it for the sake of humor, and sometimes they're necessary 'cause of the subject matter. <br /><br />But the rest of the time, I'm just being lazy or clumsy or pompous or inhospitable.
