> [@OneYogini](#): > > I would NEVER call someone names. I may say they are acting like an idiot, but I would not CALL them an idiot. I certainly wouldn’t call someone a twat. But “dumbshit,” that one passes under your radar? I mean, I am not particularly horrified by the apellation, but it doesn’t jive with your claim that you don’t call people names. And yes, I read your explanation that it wasn’t to me you directed the “fuck you dumbshit” to, but rather to a whole amorphous bunch of us “deserving” dumsbhits, but still I’m not sure how that means you NEVER call someone names. Don’t get me wrong; no one cares overmuch whether or not you call people names. Like you said, it says more about the person doing the namecalling. It’s just curious to me that you’re claiming a standard of behavior that you’ve failed to uphold in this very same thread. ---

Like you said, it says more about the person doing the namecalling. It’s just curious to me that you’re claiming a standard of behavior that you’ve failed to uphold in this very same thread. I was going to discuss this in my last post… I said [QUOTE=OneYogini] It’s the same people posting in her threads over and over saying how they dislike them so much. Well, then fuck you dumbshit for posting. [QUOTE] As you stated (and we eventually clarified) it was not directed to you, but as I said before the “universal poster” (you threw in the “deserving”). So yes, I did call the “same people” posting in Cheeky’s threads "dumbshit"s. In this thread. I did not, by name, call any one person a dumbshit. Nor, would I have named any one person to specifically call a dumbshit. I wasn’t trying to personally insult/name call/whatever…I was definitely frustrated with posters who spit their vitriol at Cheeky. (You know, kinda like all of you jump to the defense of your friends - - I was hoping to do the same). Unlike other people who choose to directly name call. No justification or defense here…hopefully you’ll see I’m just clarifying…but if you still feel I did do as I told someone else they shouldn’t do…then there’s nothing I else I could say. ---

> [@OneYogini](#): > > I was going to discuss this in my last post… > > (you threw in the “deserving”) Eh. meh. You said you don’t swear at the “undeserving.” I assumed that meant those you swore at deserved it. Mayhap I overstepped when I pulled the “un” off. It sure takes a lot of explanation for you to get us all to understand you to your satisfaction. Are we that thick, or are you a little less plain-speaking than you’d have us believe? I suspect either you’re not working hard enough at being clear, or you’re backpedaling because you don’t like being called on for what you’ve typed. Neither position is a fun one to be in (BTDT). Think her over. ---

> [@OneYogini](#): > > Miller, THAT was an insult? I was supposed to be insulted by THAT? L-O-Fucking-L! Too rich. As if your asking if I am an idiot could be insulting. You’re really not very good at lying, you know that? > [@](#): > > I think it says more about you than me for obvious reasons. Yes, it does. It says I’m clever, well read, and dashedly handsome. Or were you drawing some other conclusion from my post? Don’t be coy: spill. > [@](#): > > I don’t know you, you don’t know me…I don’t care what you think about me…therefore, I could not POSSIBLY be insulted by anything you choose to say…including your pathetic, immature choice to call me a “twat”. You are truly a sad, sad individual. So, you don’t know anything about me, but you know that I’m a sad, sad individual. See, this is where the “idiot” part comes in. You can’t ever remember what you said in the immediately preceding sentence. Either that, or you’re too dumb to understand what your own words mean. Which would hardly be surprising, considering your constant inability to, for example, differentiate between two or more posters at the same time. Honestly, I could see it breaking either way. Tell you what, though, I’ll keep reading your posts, which are comedy gold, by the way, and I’ll let you know which one I think it is as more evidence comes in. > [@](#): > > You can mind your own business. If jar had wanted to bring this up with me, I’d have gladly addressed it with her - - as it was OUR discussion. Kindly butt the fuck out. It’s a public message board. You don’t get to dictate who does and does not comment on what you post here. You want to have a private conversation, take it to email. > [@](#): > > We both asked a question of a poster. I chose to answer yours…unfortunately. My lesson learned after this post - - is never to respond to you. So, you actually have the ability to shut up? I’m skeptical. > [@](#): > > It’s not worth the effort - - you’re just not the kind of person I want to communicate with on any level. I would NEVER call someone names. I may say they are acting like an idiot, but I would not CALL them an idiot. I certainly wouldn’t call someone a twat. You’d NEVER call someone names? See, this is what I meant about you being a bad liar, because you _called me a name in this very post!_ I mean, come on! At least call me a name in a different thread in a couple of days, so I have to look for this one to show what a hypocritical piece of shit you are. You do it in the same post like that, it’s not even a challenge. > [@](#): > > Talk about fighting ignorance - can someone please work on Miller. :rolleyes: Oh, yes, please do. I am here, after all, to have my own ignorance dispelled, and it’s pretty clear **OneYogini** is woefully inadequate to the task. ---

Hey Yogini, for someone who _doesn’t care_ at all what anyone thinks of them, you sure are devoting a lot of time to ‘defending’ yourself, even to the point of stepping into OTHER THREADS IN THE FORUM to express how you were so poorly put upon in here. Face it, you were called on a a spectacular run of hypocrisy and idiocy and are having a hard time following it. Here’s another thing, there’s no such thing as a private conversation on a public message board. If you and I discuss something, everyone else can read it and respond. You can’t tell folks what or who to respond to. LOLOLOLOL 😃 😃 😃 😃 😃 LOLOLOLOL ---

Picture me on the news in front of a bunch of cameras: “Can’t we all just get along?” \ Seriously, I haven’t seen this much OMG - LOL - smiley “nu- uh, you stink!” since I quit chatting. **One** , it might be time to suck it up and stop digging the whole, and just walk away. \*\*jarbabyj \*\* - your signature. . . disturbs me. I feel that song has touched me in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. \ ’ Hee. ---

Im sorry, but I’ve watched Amy four times now, and every time it just gets better. Regarding the yodel, I think that’s an essential element of country music that the pros get just right, but pretenders tend to over-do. Amy did it just exactly right. I thought it was cool that she herself was so surprised. I’m not sure that anybody would have pegged her for country. Before, she had been pigeon-holed as a Broadway singer. Who’d 've thunk country? I’m excited for her now, and I’m looking forward to what she does next. ---
