I think we're being a little rough.

Inge is stuck in a narrative.  Specifically, that constant and meaningless confrontation is a sign of strength, that insults and/or snide putdowns are a replacement for civility.

The thing is... do we care?

If you or Nigel or LMNO or Junkenstein or Gohira or Pent were stuck in a narrative, I would have some reason to attempt to try to coax you out... but when this is the way someone presents themself off the bat, who gives a shit to try?  Next.

I couldn't even pretend to know.

You and me both, sister.

While I would just as soon use it as an object to take my aggression out on, in a startling role reversal Roger seems to think there's a real person under the twatwafflery, and since Roger is a notoriously better judge of character than I am, I'm willing to step back and give it a chance.

I concur.  I've decided since posting that that my current mindset cannot be trusted.
