On different point though and to stress the importance of not taking life too serious:

There is a poster on here who has a relationship with religion and I have watched him multiple times come after people for their stance on religion. He does it in a passive aggressive manor. I mean this is a football board. Keep your religion at home or in the right forum.

I can tell there are some people on here who have done a lot of talking their entire lives to other people and have never been smacked. I am a firm believer in the principal of being taught a little street justice. It humbles you and keeps you from popping off to everyone and anyone. It is good for everyone to have that moment in life where they learn to be careful how they speak with others. I see it with my students even. Kid is going around bullying or popping off, chooses the wrong kid and all of a sudden they get smacked with a little perspective.

I have been smacked. I was that nerdy kid that moved to the new city and got bullied for the first couple of days in ninth grade. I had to fight to gain respect, or what you call street cred these days. I was also "smacked" a couple of years later when I took both barrels of a 20 gauge shotgun in my lower left leg from three inches away in a freak hunting accident. I was pretty much traumatized by the huge scar that remains to today, not to mention hearing the doctors telling my parents while I was on the way to the operating room that there was probably a one in four chance of saving my leg. It took quite some time to forget that scar. I didn't even want to hear about it. Now, some 44 years later I accept it and everything about me with no reservations.

Then I was smacked again when I got the call from my doctor that the lab had found cancer. I hope to God that you never have to be smacked in that way. I mean that. So forgive me if I have an issue with people making fun of other's unwanted misfortunes. I would hope that as a special education teacher that you would have more sympathy and empathy than that.
