G'day Guy,
<many snips/>
If people don't want MONGO to snap at them they might consider not baiting him. The ED trolls (of whom there have been several) are not gentle cuddly fluffy types. Neither are the conspiracy POV-pushers.
That reminds me of something my mother once said when I got into fights with those who teased me. It took me a few years to grow up and realise she was right.
I suspect, despite appearances, that I am younger than MONGO. Perhaps his mother never said the things mine did.
