Oh...just wait long enough and you will see me lose my temper and I can be really ugly when I do. Not something that I am particularly proud of but I am human and I have my limits as to what I will take before I lash back. I have had to spam delete a goodly number of posts that I have made and come to regret because I showed my butt.
You didn't even come close to pushing any of those buttons.

My normal response when people piss me off...I don't respond at all unless what is being said is blatantly incorrect and/or dangerous or they say I said something I didn't. I just ignore any questions and let them sink or swim on their own. I sit here with a little smirk and say to myself.."ok you SOB figure it out yourself"
I know it's probably not the nicest of ways to think but remember I am human and far from perfect....not to mention being a redhead of Scotch/Irish descent...I am doomed with a hot temper.

English/Irish/Manx here, and I just got up from my nap. Yep I said too much and wasted my data limit, but sometimes I just get so tired of it.
Glad I didn't tick you off.

Way too tight, I think Man Up is no longer a viable option. Jim

I wonder if that's why so many here use n/a instead of m/F in their profile, I just thought they were confused.

I just saying there are folks here that use the "ramp as training wheels" saying all the time and it does get people in an uproar. I disagree with the terminology because if it does insult someone that uses ramp, there are no reason to deliberately get someone mad. I do believe that an experienced person will eventually get tired of waiting for the ramp to end and prefer full blast from the git-go. As Pugs said, it's a comfort "thang", so who cares if anyone uses it or not? It's a vicious circle. Someone will use the "training wheel's" scenario (term), and someone will get mad... and we'll have this conversation all over again. The "man up" comment from me is that if you are going to stay on this site, you will see that comment again (plus, I doubt if the ramp mode will effectively treat an apnea event when someone is in the straight cpap mode). Choose not to let it upset you if you use ramp. After this... I'm gonna need another beer... whoops.... it's 5 am!!

Sheriff,
I am still kind of new here, but a forum is a forum and I frequent a number of different ones. Every forum I know of has a small group that thinks helping is done by complaining and as I identify those I ignore them, if I get really tired of them and am sure enough that I will never benefit from their posts I foe, ban, block, ignore them just so I don't have to bother. It's not a single word but a consistent attitude-they are right and everybody else is wrong, stupid, ignorant, sissy, baby, it's always something.

When I posted that I don't care, I really don't. I am not upset or mad or anything at all.
