Title: How many forum members have you crossed?

I've pissed off at least 20.

There's a mountain myth in West Virginia that some folks in Texas still have a bunch of Appalachian dialect.  Either this is proof; or perhaps I just added to my list of folks as per OP; or both.

Newburyport meet, 2019
SectorZ, noelbotevera, Alex967CW (that's the Discord name, unsure of forum name), mxn (Discord only)

Some of you might have done so without knowing if I happened to be walking while you were getting a certain segment of MA 110.

I have not met Ken Jennings in person.

I met a bunch of y'all at the Richmond road meet in 2011. I've known @Takumi for a lot longer than that, though. I'm a proud recipient of a @Laura hug.  :-D

As for the other meaning of "crossed", I think I've had some rather angry disagreements with @Beltway over various things (mainly politics), but I've let that go.

I think the forum member I enraged the most was short-time member RoadRage2023. I'm still certain he was a sockpuppet of Mike2357/MultiMillionMiler/SafeSpeeder. His posts were almost verbatim copies of the things Mike2357 used to post, so I tried to bait him into acknowledging that he was a sockpuppet by doctoring quote tags to see whether he would take credit for what I was quoting.

Didn't work, but he wasn't around much longer after the exchange in question, either, so in a sense I guess it did work.

I wonder if that was me.  I know I crossed someone else on MTR who's here now, in early January 2002.  (I was irritable that week, in part because no one in Wake County, NC knew how to deal with twenty or so inches of snow - just like two winters earlier.)

Correct.  Because, if there's one absolute rule on this forum, it's that any thread with "How many ... have you ..." as its title needs someone to keep score.  Everything is a competition.

I'm a little scared to point it out because someone might do it, but so far nobody's had the time or desire to do this for the umpteen river crossing threads, which I think is for the better.
