Bullshit, Flint.
What do you mean Bullshit? I'm telling you what my reaction was when I read those posts.

Quote:
That is exactly the sort of snark that others are held accountable for.
When you say "others are held accountable" it shows where your thinking goes off track on this issue. It doesn't matter "who" you are. There are no special "cool kid" clubs. Either you are funny or you are not. This is just like in real life: there are intangible things which make something socially awkward, and knowing what these things are allows you to navigate your way through a social interaction.

It didn't seem funny to Spexx because of the history of snark crap regarding such issues.
We can't go around worrying about what people's reactions will be. What I was pointing out was that someone consciously decided to move the thread from being funny and lighthearted into their personal "my crybaby feelings are hurt" soapbox, and THAT is a party foul.
