Well, speaking from someone who's had both ends thrown at her, there is a way to disagree with people that is not personally insulting. When people obviously don't care about the person they are tearing down, it does tend, if not to hurt the feelings, at least make one question why they hang around for the abuse.

I think personally, Tony's little slam on me in another thread hurt more because it was an unexpected source. I'm prepared for garbage like that from (for example) Jim, but not Tony. And there's no chance Tony would leave his own board, so if you don't like it, you've got two options: get over it or get out.

Sometimes I just need a break from this place, and I understand Garnet's comment in that vein completely. Garnet can take it, it's just a matter of if she wants to put the effort into it or not.

Actually, what many people here fail to understand that that chance DOES exist.

I personally do NOT want to see that happen.

Garnet did set herself up for this one. She could have participated in a rational discussion of the article, and of her own lifestyle choices, but instead chose act as if attacked, when she initially was not.

Women can get along just fine here. No extra armor needed.

Give as good as you get, by way of rational argument (and the occasional sarcastic comment), rather than histrionic whining.

There is no crying in baseball.

I don't feel better. I feel worse. I liked garnet. I liked that she was a smart, funny woman. Does everyone here have to have balls of steel to hang around?

I feel very sad.

i like that she didn't look as dike-y as Jim expected. Garnet will be back... the cellar is in her blood like the nasty little drug that it is. once you're in it is difficult to get out. it may take a little while but she'll lurk until a thread really grabs her.

i mean does anyone really believe that Hubris Boy doesn't sometimes lurk? JuJu just popped up again, and Marichiko i'm sure is lurking - hell, she may be an active user with a new title right now.

anyway - come back soon Garnet - i'll keep my poking stick handy.

In a word, Yes.

Not many women hang out here and stand their ground.

Is ball-kicking all the fun there is? I think there is room for more. This place eats it's own young and then smacks it's lips. I suppose there are those of you out there who feel smug and superior here in Cyberworld. What on earth did you do before? Kick baby chicks?

Intellectual snobbery is the staple of many boards. A combination of brains and balls are vital.

Seriously though, don't you think you're overreacting? Ball kicking? This thread was about a really bad study, it had nothing to do with garnet until she made it about her and set herself up as a target. I think, in general, the cellar is what you make of it.

No.

We stomp on their heads and watch their little bodies twitch a bit before they die.

(incidentally, They Eat Their Young was the name of the band of a cellar member in the olden days.)

And You Will Know Them By The Trail of Dead is another favorite.

So, Wolf, you don't think Balls of Steel is a requisite for being here? That's refreshing to hear. I was beginning to wonder where I was going to find a pair and then where to get them steel-plated.

OnyxCougar · 02-22-2005, 04:56 PM

I think everyone who's a regular here know garnet is a vegan.
I think that the title of this thread was purposefully done with garnet in mind. Whether or not that is, in fact, the case, who knows?

If it had been me, I would have taken it personally, too.

lookout123 · 02-22-2005, 05:01 PM

would it have been less insulting if we had 10 vegan regulars?
there are frequently threads started that are tagged in such a way that they have to be insulting to republicans, democrats, christians, muslims, creationists, evolutionists, etc... at least one of us can be insulted by every thread we have, it is our choice whether or not to take it personally.

I don't know about less insulting, but probly much more likely NOT to be taken personally.

You're right, but that shouldn't make it ok to insult people on a personal level.
