Ana, about 4 years ago Charm and I were "introduced" to each other on these forums after a communication issue led to a duel of wits. The "discussion" got to a point where Brian had to shut the thread down, it really was comical in a cutting, sarcastic kind of way.
Last month I had the privilege of staying with Charm and his amazing wife while on a mission for OCF and it really was like meeting family. What I would say is that we are an "acquired taste" due to our delivery of viewpoints and information, but when you get to know us and understand where we are coming from we can be quite endearing even though we're A..holes.
Don't be afraid of getting into a deep discussion on these forums and giving as good as you get, the only thing we ask is for quality of information. What you'll find is once you get past the crusty exterior there really is a heart of gold there, even if its cloaked in sarcasm and a minor disregard for personal feelings.
