Really? This Offended You?
 

***THIS POST CONTAINS LINKS TO CELLAR POSTS THAT ARE NSFW***

First: Again, let me say right off, there was no intention to offend anyone. But someone was offended. By this. But, not, apparently, by this. Really? Offended by this, but, I guess, not offended by this. Really? Offended by stuff like this. But, not stuff like this. Really?

Perhaps you aren't aware that NFSW means Not Safe For Work. That means some people may find the content offensive or unsuitable for viewing in the workplace.

Yet again, I'm sorry you were offended by my postings.

Without even looking at what's pissed you off this time, I have this to say:

1) Most dwellars are people. Different people find different things offensive in differents contexts on different days in different moods. Thank FSM for that.

2) NSFW tags are not a licence to share anything. Child snuff pron, for example, will never be OK

3) Who the fuck are you to tell anyone what they should and should not find offensive?

KTHXBAI

It was the trashy apartment, that's just beyond the pale. How dare you show that.




:p:

It's nice to know I had a hand (or at least a finger) in NOT offending people. :D

oh get over it.

funny how often tough guys are so delicate

Actually, I *am* offended.

I'm offended that my arse doesn't look like that. :cry:

Just put it behind you. ;)

I can't even tell where anyone voiced any offense. Maybe in a PM?

Maybe it was Tiki.

I think GD is an ass, man ! Oh dear did I put that comma in the wrong place? So sorry if I offended anyone.

Yes, digger does seem a little tikied off.

Some cheese with that whine?

I thought I was the ass man?

Licensed to bugger. ;-)

How does one acquire a license to bugger? Is there a practical exam? Is one required to penetrate the examiner? Or is it just a multiple choice quiz? Are there probationary terms involved?

Will there be a proctor?

ding ding ding. You are the mistress.

An invigilator

Honestly G-Digr, you simply cannot please all of the people all of the time. So who cares?

If it matters, I've never been offended by anything you posted.

While I'd rather look at some of those pictures than others, all those links were to NSFW threads. (Had to wait until I was home to check) So don't let it bother you.

Depends on where you put your comma ;)

I wouldn't gamble on it.

Cuzz it was pointed out to me in a private message. And when I apologized (I've lost count how many times I've apologized) to the offended and pretty much said the exact same thing you people are saying to me, I got a "Well I should have known you would respond the way you did." I suppose they meant practically and sanely.

And just so ya know, I wasn't bitching. I was trying to show, in what I thought was a pretty blatant manner, that what is offensive and not offensive can be different and inconsistent, even in the same person. The offended Dwellar was offended by "scantily clad women". That means clad. Clothed. Naughty bits covered. Nothing was said about full frontal nudity. Cocksucking, not mentioned. Photos of folks plainly engaged in coitus.:eek: Nothing, not a peep. Men fingering other men in the ass?!:3_eyes: Silence.

Gimme a fucking break.

And if you're offended by such things, WHY IN THE FUCK WOULD YOU READ A THREAD TITLED WTF NSFW????

On #1: Agreed.

On #2: Ya maybe ought to look. The pics that were complained about, yeah they're among the tamest thing I've posted.

On #3: I've told nobody how to think. (Don't get all snooty just cuzz yer bendy!)

He thinks I'm tough and delicate. :blush:

Looks like somebody has a mancrush.:joylove:

Jim, I like you, but, seriously, stay away from my ass.:unsure:

you miss the point (again) I don't care how tame what you posted is (in your opinion), stop whining and stop using the NSFW tags as an excuse ..once, twice can be forgiven, but you keep on whining about this shit. It's not the content that pisses me off, it's the goddamn whining. Life ain't fair, honey.

And yes, when you say "If you are not offended by that you shouldn't be offended by this" you are "telling them how to think"

As usual I'm wrong no matter what the fuck the problem is EVER, I'm wrong. Looks like I'm just wrong all the fucking time. I was just born to be wrong I guess.

I'd just give up on trying to figure out the whys and what fors. Face it, you'll always be wrong because you are a male and you are from the South. You'll never win with all of these yankee women.

Some people just can't be reasoned with. :rolleyes:

Why someone would bother sending a PM to say they're offended boggles the mind, but I guess that's what the person thought was the right thing to do.

Some people are right though, some things are more offensive to some people than others. There are some things said or pictures posted on this site that I find offensive, but that's life. Everyone's different. Sometimes there's a deeper reason for things being viewed as offensive, but usually if that's the case, the person wont actually say it.

I went through this issue years ago when I came here after someone cracked a joke which to me was offensive.

You need to remember that in this place, if people think you should just suck it up then you'll get no sympathy, even if it's about something that's particularly difficult for you.

eta: oh yeah, flame away. :)

I checked the links. I honestly don't see why someone would be offended by the pics you posted Gravedigr.

I can see why he's aggravated. I can also see the point of the thread. I don;t see that he is telling anybody how to think. He's just venting his frustration and confusion as to why his seemingly inoffensive pics were pounced on as a cause for offense when they are probably three of the mildest pics ever to carry an NSFW tag.

I'm not saying nobody should be offended by them. As has already been stated, people are offended by different things. Whomever it was that sent the private message may have very specific reasons to find those images offensive.

For the record though Gravedigr: without an explanation from the offended party, I honestly cannot see why they were offended by your pics.

An insincere apology is worthless. If you say "I'm sorry" and then complain about the complaint on the board ......worthless, meaningless, hypocritical..... you're not remotely sorry at all. Which is fine. Maybe the complaint was ridiculous. But don't be surprised your apology isn't accepted. Not rocket science.

Quoted for truth

Awww, the poor downtrodden southern male. We need some tough legislation. :lol2:

He just needs a hug that's all

:grouphug:

HUGS!

sigh - I think the first pic Grav posted that was "NSFW", created a stir and was moved or relabeled "NSFW" by Bruce.

ETA - It may have been the image of the children hanging off the crib. It was certainly around that time.

That was somebody else putting it in IotD.

OMG what must people think of my skin pics? :eek: :right: Read my user line and feel free to use it yourself GD

Do I Look Like I Give A Rat's Ass?

No one is pressing this case more than you. Pick a new paradigm, they're free for the taking.

Like A-Rod.

If they're free I'll take two!



...this post in memory of Reg

You'd kind of need two to have a pair...duh!

No, I want two paradigms.

and fork handles

One of my Dad's favourite (and most posted) comedy sketches.
I doubt a month goes by without him saying four candles.

Did you see him on WILTY? Sooo funny. His story was that he had actually had to go and ask in a shop for four candles.

Not only have we got all of these damn-yankees (my momma always said it as one word), we've got all of these wild foreign women on here too. We're doomed.

I'm the only alien, though.....

cite.

expand.

I suspect what he actually meant was, "Why would you be offended by this but not by that?", which was basically the gist of the whole OP anyway.

I can see how you could choose to interpret it as a suggestion of how one should think, but if you choose to be reasonable, it's pretty clear that that was not the intent.

ftfy :rolleyes:

I don't think being reasonable means you're blinkered by a wish to avoid unpleasantness/anybody taking a mild dislike to you at all costs.

Anyway, who comes here for unpleasantness? I mean specifically looking for it? Anyone?

Safariists?

But I was really disputing your interpretation of "reasonable"

Yeah I know you were. I think you're smart enough to know what I meant by reasonable though. I don't need to explain it to you. :)

No you don't. But I disagree. I think my interpretation is the "reasonable" one. :D

Yeah, I know that too.

Careful, we might be scaring people here......
