No problem. But if people "provoke" a reaction, I've got to "defend" myself and my position. > Michael, if you scan past posts by Alan, you will find out that he is > full of jokes - good ones and some not so good. He is neither aan Here he certainly made one of the "not so good ones". > aggressor, nor a troll. Just full of - sometimes weird - humour. Agreed. > He was pulling your leg; that's different from trolling. Yes, it is. But here you're saying it as well. *HE* was doing something, which provoked some sort of reaction. Maybe my reaction was not what he wanted go get (that's what he's saying at least and it's also what I believe to be true). But, you know, if he wouldn't have done what he did, we wouldn't have this mess. To a certain degree, this mess may also be my fault, but it's absolutely not only my fault. Alan is at least as "guilty" as I am. You're right though - "aggressor" and/or "troll" aren't the right words. Couldn't and still can't think of better ones though.
