Here's some quotes from that re: Stiers from Jamie Farr (Klinger) and Mike Farrell (Bj Hunnicutt) and the full piece link follows:

Farr: To repay Stiers for all his pranks on us, we had his dressing room painted orange and purple over Thanksgiving break. When we came back, we were waiting for him to rant. He said nothing. Finally, one of us asked, "What's new?"

Farrell: David said, "Oh, I've just had my dressing room redecorated. Did you as well?" I responded, "No, how is yours?" He said, "Quite lovely, it's a fabulous combination of salmon and mauve." It was his way of letting us know he got it, but no one was going to get him.
