    A Favor

    By Michael Wolraich on Thu, 11/03/2011 - 2:08am | Potpourri

    Hi folks. I left for vacation today to celebrate my fortieth birthday. I'll blog more about it when I have a chance. In the meantime, I have a request.

    I haven't been following the threads today, but I still have had to field concerns and complaints via iPhone, which suggests that hostilities are still flaring at dagblog.

    As a favor, or perhaps a birthday gift, I would like to ask you all to chill out. Please tone down your responses to one another and try to avoid the urge to lash out, no matter how much you think someone deserves a lashing.

    Articleman and I and the other dagbloggers who are covering for me would be grateful. And I think we all could use a break.

    Thanks,

    G

    I cannot believe you're so friggin' young, you &**(%(*!!!!;

    Consider yourself heard!  Duly noted.  My bad kid pen is sealed.  

    And, seriously, happy birthday and many, many more Mr. Genghis.  You're a good man.

    Happy 40th, Genghis.  It's so much better than 39.  Honest.

    Have a great time, and don't worry about a thing.  Worrying causes wrinkles and hot flashes and lactose intolerance.  You don't want that.

    Genghis; 

    On your birthday: count your candles, count your years, count your blessings!

    Remember; Once over the hill, you pick up speed.

    Have a good one
