There is just no pleasing anybody on this website ... and some wonder why good members are leaving.

Do you mean "Anal Retentive", "Anal Expressive", or "Analytical"?

What on earth is anal expressive?????

"Anal Expressive" - The state of a person who exhibits cruelty, emotional outbursts, disorganization, self-confidence, artistic ability, generosity, rebelliousness and general carelessness. It figuratively describes someone who likes to "crap all over everything". Also called "Anal Expulsiveness". The term derives from Freudian psychoanalysis.

"Anal Retentive": An anal retentive person is a person who pays so much attention to detail that it becomes an obsession and may be an annoyance or inconvenience to others. The term derives from Freudian psychoanalysis.

I'm not for the concept of dividing users into "good" and "bad" categories - unless we talk about spammers of course.
I think "fight the villain" narrative has done enough harm here.
Some users are drained because for those of us who have experienced mental illness, current discussion tone can be more than they can bear. It's a "spoon" thing and I hope some come back after they recover.

So long as the anal explosiveness is kept under lock and key, I think we're good.

One last thing before I go to bed. Please try to keep this civil and on topic. I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning to find that the volcano has overflowed again during the night and left lava all over the show.

Before you press enter, look and ask yourself how you'd respond if YOU were the one reading it.

Salutations and peace!

I was referring to the comment that the red shirt of the man in my new avatar was intimidating.

Well, not literal bulls, just the china shop variety...

And the AIs?* Does red spell out "danger" to them?

(*artificial intelligence in case anyone isn't sure)

No, they like it. They're blood-thirsty.

Bulls don't care about the color, it's the waving in front of them that gets them agitated. Bull fighting is awful and should be outlawed.
