Re-read your post and tell me if it doesn't fall into the "Bratty" category?
It looks that way from here.  Yes, I agree totally that it is too bad that a
few self-centered  people can ruin a list with their rude, narrow minded
comments just because others don't share their views on life. We are all
entitled to our views whether you personally agree with them or not, and I
would appreciate it if you would remember that.
