Besides, plonking involves people. It's personal.
I thought you tolerant and broadminded folks wanted to avoid getting personal.

Some people
just prove themselves over time to be incapable of saying
anything worth while, either through dullness, stupidity,
ignorance, or malice. Sometimes all of the above.
And people plonk because it's tantamount to stamping their widdle feetsies, turning their back on someone, swaggering out of the room, and slamming the door.

Nonsense. There you go, off on a tear. You are the one
complaining, making theater out of it. You are the one being
judgmental. The plonker just plonks.

I guess there are lots of reasons, but for me it's a decision to
quit wasting my time with someone who is not listening anyhow.
They don't miss me.

Bottom line, it's just freedom of association. Why should that
bother you?

Why do you think it bothers me? I just described a puerile (shades of Canoli) action.
