As long as we're making fun of people you might as well add me to the list.

Akimbo

[Shawnee123]

On the gubmint warning site, the figure is definitely not arms akimbo.

On the "my filing techniques are unstoppable" one arm is akimbo.

And one more thing, why is it that other's humor is not dissected and smashed, and the other jokers don't get made to feel like an idiot for finding something funny? My guess is most of you are jealous because I'm so much funnier than most of the rest of you. The exceptions don't need to treat me like dog food.

So there's that.

Take another look Shawnee. tombstone only criticizes the web site, not you.

He (or she) dislikes a web site that you like, and you make a personal attack.

I find that uncool.

I disagree. He/she said "that thing that Shawnee found is stupid." He/she personalized it by using her name.

Are you reading intent to put down Shawnee in his message? Cause I'm not seeing it.

In any case, he's not allowed to have a critical opinion of something Shawnee likes? In that case, what about all the folks here who are critical of the Catholic church? Should I start telling people to STFU?

I never intended to make a big deal over this. I just thought Shawnee was overly harsh to a newbee who was just posting an opinion. It wasn't even wholly critical.

I think it is possible to discuss issues and topics without resorting to personal attacks. It bugs me when I see it cropping up.

I love you too Shawnee. :-) You laugh at my jokes and very few can say that! hahaha *HUGS*

[Shawnee123]

Thanks guys.

I can only reiterate that it is also uncool to walk up to a stranger and tell them that something they have recently referred to is stupid. No, tombstone does not have to like it...but it's quite rude to say what he said.

I think my biggest personal attack was, as usual, at myself...for letting that comment get to me and then for reacting. It's something I've been working on, and it's my fault that past transgressions perhaps make me overly suspect...but it was a crappy comment on tomb's part and you made me feel even worse.

I'm not the first to call out a newbie, and I won't be the last.

If that's what you want to do I think you should give it try, see how it works out for you...

Jinxie----(mind if I call you Jinxie? Reminds me of Pixie which reminds me of you--lemme know, k?)

Well you just made me picture myself like a pixie.... aside from that, I guess Im ok with it....


Shawnee - fuck'em if they can't take a joke.

Thanks. I'll pass. I think everyone should be allowed to express their opinions.

It makes it easier to identify the nutcases.

I remember hearing about a study (on NPR of course) that proved that people with no sense of humor had no way of knowing that they had no sense of humor. It's quite a conundrum.
