Oh, I apologize, Daniel. I always forget that we’re supposed to tell you to back to GD, and THEY tell you to go back to MPSIMS. ---

Yeah, Danny-boy’s the sole voice of reason.:rolleyes: No wait, I’m jumping to conclusions. Maybe he **is** a voice of reason. Maybe he has a sock-puppet that **doesn’t** talk out of his ass. “Aaaaaaassie! Ooooooooh Aaaaaassie!” “What’s that smell? Did you hear a fart?” “Shhhhh… I think Assie is trying to tell us something! What’s the matter Assie? Is it Danny? Danny fell in the Pit?” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jenie in a Bottle \* > \*\*Thats all I really had to say. Peace, ya’ll! \*\* Welcome, **Jenie**. Ignore the boys; they’re always like that. However, may I recommend MPSIMS? We’re nicer over there. My word, **they’re** nicer over there! You would be surprised how some of them can even hold up their end of a CIVIL conversation. But here? No. I’ve tried; Dan’s tried. They are incorrigible when they are in the Pit. Simply incorrigible. [aside to the rabble] SO LEAVE THE NICE MOTHER-FUCKING LADY (May I presume “lady” from your name?) THE FUCK ALONE, YOU FESTERING, PIG-RIMMING PUKES! ---

Be careful, Dropzone and Daniel… you guys might get altitude sickness from being that high up on the horse. ---

Dropzone, all of our sarcasm, pettiness, and bitterness can be summed up in you just as much as us. Just because you aren’t using the right words for it, doesn’t mean you aren’t conveying the feeling. But the worst part is, you do it under the guise of righteous indignation. So if you’re bad at flaming, why not just say so? Instead of taking that “I’m above all those things” attitude. Ah dignity, the last refuge of a man who doesn’t have anything else to show for him. In short, bite me you B.O. blowhole of the text kind. ---

Freak: I can’t figure it out. Are you a pissant, or just a bug on the windshield of life? Since pissants don’t fly, you can’t be both. Ah, you’re a windshield schmushed bug ASPIRING to be a pissant. Explains a lot. Neither has any importance in the overall scheme of things- and neither has a sense of humor. 😃 spoofers: better to be way up here on TOP of the horse, compared to where you are… ---

I am indeed a bug on the windshield of life (whatever the fuck **that** means). Y’know why you’re not? Cuz life just keep swerving to avoid you. I guess it wants to keep it’s resale value, your presence tends to cheapen things. ---

Um. Well, obviously I missed something, haven’t been around as much lately because of frickin’ Juno, but I kinda assumed the OP was tongue-in-cheek. No? ---

If it wasn’t tongue in cheek, then she’s wrong. If it _was_ tongue in cheek, then we responded in exactly the way she was expecting, no? Sorta like when TN\*Hippie started a similar thread. ---

Jenie, why would I want to tolerate a person that wrote “Pease” and “y’all”? Y’all is not a proper word or contraction. A yawl is a sailing vessel with two masts and a short mizzenmast astern of the rudder post. I don’t know where you came up with pease. Go away with your mewling ass and get in a group hug with some of the scum like yourself. ---

Archer, speaking as a person who uses “Y’all” rather often, why the fuck do you care if it’s proper? ---

If you two weren’t as stupid as you are literal-minded you might have been able to figure out THAT I WAS JOKING! Do I have to draw smilies to let you know or should I keep everything on the level of **aha** ’s offensive AND lame Wee Todd “joke” for you to get it? I won’t even give you the satisfaction of agreeing about “y’all.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cant-we-all-just-get-along/29709.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cant-we-all-just-get-along/29709.md?page=3)
