Yep, the first one is boring and dull. :-)

Heh, you know me Tanner, I'm all about that.  But even if I "accept the 
consequences" of knowingly
choosing a certain approach to something, doesn't mean I don't reserve 
the right to disagree, elaborate
or whatever.  Of course no one is bound, in turn, to accept that, but 
that's OK too.

But if I can start a conversation while simultaneously having a little 
fun by being a
little bit provocative, then so much the better!  :-)
