It may be easier for you to think of this a a big fratenity of brothers (...well, "cousins" really). Crap gets dished to you and blades because deep down we all love you guys! (even if we DON'T know ya)

Most of everything that has gone on was done in good humor for humor's sake. It's fair enough for you to say that your feelings were hurt. Let blades speak for himself, however. He's guilty of it too, and perhaps may even be a bit thicker skinned than you.

Much of what goes on here on this site could be deemed "stupid threads" by someone.
