I don't think any of us would argue that JD is incredibly annoying; thankfully he isn't as invasive within the forum as mocha wheels was. *shudder*
I like to think I don't take things too personally (though this may be a self-delusion), but I just get the feeling that tenuki *wants* me to take his crap personally. As much as it pains me to admit, I agree with a lot of things he says, but I just cant stand it when he goes after people in unproductive ways that can't possibly serve any purpose other than irritation and insult.
Anyway, I don't mean this to exclude any people that like tenuki (so far, just brandon
), I just wanted to vent a bit.

Oh, him. (shrugs). He's such a cliche (no job, lives with his parents, hasn't had a girlfriend), its hard for him to get under my skin, like getting mad at him is tatamount to kicking a puppy with a leaky eye or something.
edit: On the subject of Tenuki, my personal pet peeve with him is his continous jabs at bloggers. Not that I take it personally, I just find it in bad taste considering its fairly well known how many (and who) of the regulars here run tea blogs.

Yes, he is the odd man out, the pickle in the middle, the exception that proves the rule, the ugly duckling, our own Waldo.

You must be thinking of something else.

Are we dragging the newbie into the gutter on the second day?
Looks like he can handle the Aphro thread.

Yikes, it's the second day already! We're running behind schedule. Padre, call the fire department. I think we should have them as back up for day three. I always hate it when someone is seriously injured in the line of tea.

Nice! Congrats on the success. How are the hours though? I used to want a big high-powered job, but after a few months of 11-15 hour days at Symantec, I changed my mind.... I just value my free time and balance too much. But still, that is pretty cool, heck getting to do anything tech related for a living is cool in my book.
