DonDiego is quite the instigator, though. The online equilavent of a real life person who would say a few well chosen words to ignite a brawl at a bar or sporting event, just to stand back and enjoy the show.
Yep. Remember Paul's grandfather in "A Hard Days Night?" They referred to him as a "mixer" for inspiring a lot of trouble.

By coincidence, I understand that DonDiego is also a clean old man.

So what happens when pessimists read this report and become optimistic about living longer?

Quite an insightful post.
And KayPea understands the motive is to "enjoy the show". But "instigator" is such an unpleasant term, even soulless; DonDiego prefer the term "imp".

Oh, . . . DonDiego must confess, . . . an objective assessment of his earlier post suggests he may have over-stated his venom-free status. In real life he is more like 98% venom-free; he devotes 2% of his life to hatred of the loathsome Dallas Cowboys.

Not everyone has DonDiego's tastes and enjoys the same types of shows or behavior that comes out in a political or bar fight. Imps start friendly discussions and debates that are fun to watch; instigators start venom-filled battles that have the spectators covering their eyes. KayPea prefers for DonDiego to be a lovable imp rather than a dreaded instigator.

Some folks will use any topic, not matter how benign, to push forward their venom.
