But it doesn't come from any great desire to intimidate...I was just never a subtle person...some people have a way with subtlety and diplomacy...I never have...and it seems to be a failing that I am having a hard time fixing...most of the time I do not understand why what I've said offends someone...it's like a foreign language to me.
In any event, when it comes to blog tone, Doc and Padna carry something that I haven't seen elsewhere, although bleedingblueandteal (now proballnw) is pretty close and another favorite of mine.  I think the consensus is right that USSM and Lookout Landing should become news feeds instead of discussion forums.  The lead articles, I might disagree with or take issue with, but it's the comments that follow that really ruin things for me.
