[skippy the wonder dog]

Actually, we are a fun-loving bunch, if a little touchy about new members who join only to promote their bands, and my comment was light-hearted. Do you really think that I'm about to take arms over the misuse of the word "sardonic?" Are you sure I'm the one who needed to lighten up?

And you're wrong on the diction, too. "Sardonic" is a degree heavier than what we have here. While I'm glad to see that you can use a free online dictionary, you might want to look up "scornful" next. You think the poll choices here qualify as scornful?

You want to see some scorn, I'll be happy to oblige.
