Bob S.,
Interesting... I was standing in line at the supermarket last evening. The young woman in front of me had two children. When she took the wrapped ice cream bar away from her two year old son so she could pay for it, he threw himself on the floor flailing, kicking and shrieking. The he got up grabbed the ice cream bar and threw it on the floor. Everyone just smiled (except me).
When I got to the register I remarked to the clerk and lady behind me that my son would have only acted like that once... in fact I don't think he ever did. The lady behind me remarked that "there's lots of different ways to raise children and it seems most come out all right". (I agree with that in part, everyone has the right to raise their children as they see fit... except here in America, sarcasm intended). Then I reminded her ,"But there's quite a few adults you don't like isn't there?"
When I was about 16 and my brother was 12 we were fighting. My Dad made us sit on the couch and hold hands for 15 minutes. Man did that take the fight out!

Looks like we have another one.
You can always tell a troll by the constant gush of messages. Whenever anybody else responds to his thread, the troll must answer. He must have the last word.
This reminds me of my kids. "Well, he poked me first. I just poked him back." Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke,... each child constantly responding. Lucky for me, my kids grew up and out of this phase.
Un-lucky for us, we have someone who hasn't matured beyond this level.
