Ok, that shew fits. Yes it seems that I do, but you know, most of us do don't
we? (The Human most of us in addition to the Dyslexic most of us). If every
time you made a post on this list you were acosted by the spelling police,
you might have a chip on your shoulder as well. Wait, let me make it more
clear, what if every time -you- made a post, your comments (whether they be
agreed with or not) were ignored, and instead someone steped in with some
snide dig on your [gender]?

Or any other [feature] you posses.
 
Wouldn't you have a chip on your shoulder after a while as well? You know,
having a chip on your shoulder doesn't mean there is anything wrong with you.
