6. None of the above.
I grab a stick and a bag of these:



Sometimes I bring chocolate and graham crackers and make s'mores :)

on how much you can contribute to the flaming.

15. I get the HELL out...These really bother me, esp. if it involves people
who I know and love...The situation makes me extremely uncomfortable. ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, I will perhaps step in and try to douse the flames a bit. When I know the parties involved, and there's a lot of unpleasantness going on, this upsets me no end. I just HATE it...

16. Sit back and pout when a good thread of mine gets locked
because so many assholes pile on, and the mods can no longer "blanket-remove" posts, so the whole thing gets buttoned up :grr:

17. Apparently I kill the thread.
Like I did in your Abu Ghraib thread.

Sorry about that.

18. Sometimes I get a kick out of trying to make peace...
other times if it hits one of my buttons I have been known to go in and pour gasoline on one. I never claimed to be consistent. It's a Libra thing. ;)
