I don't mind sharing a reference with you if you didn't understand my analogy. It is a common fact that snakes are shy and so long as they don't feel immediately threatened, they will not attack. Therefore, when encountering a snake, the smartest thing to do is stand still and ignore it. When the snake notices you, it will slither away.

As far as my analogy goes, it is quite appropriate in this case. Aruging over some small detail or topic on a message board is just pointless and will only spread hard feelings for no reason (like getting bitten for trying to catch the snake). We are surely more grown up than this. Are we not?
