Animl won't be satisfied until he has turned this forum into the cesspool he did AW Big Week.
This community has let a scorpion into it's tent.
That wouldn't be the scorpion that stung a certain CIA F-16 Viper pilot in the leg during the gulf war would it? ....
Sorry I was feeling a little nostalgic.
I would say Animl by his own admissions is an emotionally needy/confused, socially awkward individual, burdened by a turbulent and tumultuous past, that is lonely and craving interactions.
Unfortunately he has a really poor way of obtaining those interactions, and Animl will get himself in situations were people take pop shots at him. He typically responds by lashing out and holding on to the slightest of slights; then its all a slippery slope of hate and anger from then on out.
I do so get the impression that Animl has a real Mean-on for you, and I don't think axe body spray and breath mints are going to help with that, sorry to say.
Note: To be clear "Your response is unwarranted and is probably going to incite him to make a nasty response right back at you. In the end your just going to make yourself look bad and you are going to bring out the worst in him. " was aimed at Animl and his quoted response to you.
