I take you seriously only in the fact that I know at the core of every joke there is, at least, a kernel of truth or what you perceive as the truth. I don't get upset with the "virtual world." Do I take things seriously enough to try to be clear with my POV, certainly, but bear in mind, I work with words, I enjoy a well worded argument, and I enjoy debate. Part of the reason I keep on with this board is the occasional ethical/moral debate that arises. And honestly, if something I've said has been useful/interesting to you or anyone else, then I can actually feel good about that, even if it's just given them pause to consider another perspective.
I wouldn't put you on Ignore, there's a part of your attitude that reminds me of my son. He's a jerk, too, but now he's his wife's jerk
