Having some need to announce you "plonked" someone is the ultimate
sign of surrender confirming the plonked has absolutely no will power
or control over is own impulses and needs help to avoid responding to
someone that usually gets the best of him.
Adults simply skip over posters or threads they know will upset them
if they respond. Childishness doesn't even come close. Of course there
are special cases like little Frankie numbnuts that seems to enjoy
having his butt kicked by everyone. That a sure sign of mental
illness. <snicker>
