For the record, I wholeheartedly agree that it is wrong to be bored with
each other's heartfelt concerns.  Boredom was not my reaction. Quite
simply, it is wrong to taunt and tease, just as it is wrong to overreact
to a perceived slight.  It ought to be beneath us.  It's something we
could work on, if we care to.  On the other hand, if goading each other
and flying off the handle is what you want the p-list to be about, then
have at it.  Personally, I don't care for it, is all.
