Chill, guy. I agree with you about all those things you said. I just happen to think raspberry seeds are important, too, if not for the identical reasons you mention, then for others, equally valid.
I also happen to think that there may be other products that have suffered similarly at the hands of the people at Smuckers.
Well, I was born in Danville, Virginia(last capital of the Confederacy), lived my first 20 years in Arlington, VA(You are considered a Yankee if you live in Northern VA), lived in Durham NC for 5 years, and have lived in Northern Ohio for 35 years.
People who want unalloyed sympathy for their ache du jour should post in MPSIMS, not in the Pit. I’ve been called ignorant, a bitch, and a retard, and I’m the one behaving badly here. It’s through the working glass, frankly. But I’ll certainly give you opinion of my posting the weight it deserves.
Uh, yeah. It’s the same level of sympathy I felt when the Backstreet Boys broke up. Not everything that is important to you important to everyone else. I don’t see anything in this instance that merits my compassion and sympathy, especially to you personally since your’e coming across as an irrationally enraged fruitcake.
I wouldn’t say I don’t sympathize with “a lot of people,” but I sure as hell don’t sympathize with YOU. At this point, I’d be great with them discontinuing Moon Pies and Duke’s mayonnaise if I thought it would put some more sand in your shorts.
Yeah? Well, no matter; I’ll sign on anyway. I spent six very tolerable months south of the Mason-Dixon line, back in 1981, and while I never had an opportunity to cook during that period (or to eat home-cooking, for that matter), I’ll take at face value friend Ogre’s assessment that this is a tragedy, not only for the people who stand to be thrown out of work, and the folks who will no longer have access to what must be the ambrosia of flours, but to generations yet unborn who will never know the perfection of the properly-made White Lily biscuit.
And Uncrustables are an abomination, anyway.
ETA: By the way, is somebody planning to come around and punish Miller for that “glassless society” bit, there, or are we just going to let it go?
Unfortunately for you, there isn’t one. So you’ll just have to pull up your big girl panties and deal with my opinion yourself. Though if you don’t have anything else to bring but basic insults, we’re probably done anyway.
Ha. Sure. You take massive umbrage to one mild term in the title of the OP, blow it into a giant personal battle (as, I’ve noticed through the years, is your wont,) and I have the problem. :rolleyes:
And never think, for one tiny little fraction of a second, that I’m unwilling or unable to “deal with your opinion”. You have said nothing particularly valuable, insightful, nor intelligent. You’re simply an ignorant little person who doesn’t know she’s acting like a child. It’s kind of sad.
You think that’s what you’ve got with this poisoned well bullshit? Really? All you’ve done is prove that there are some people on here who are just as big willy-wavers as you, and perplexed a whole bunch of other people who got caught in the middle of your little drama. Way to go, champ.
This claim might have more credibility if you hadn’t jumped down the throats of everyone who dared to respond in a less-than-entirely shocked manner to your floury plight; even those who appeared to agree with you. You were clearly spoiling for a fight with anyone and everyone, so don’t try and gussy this up by claiming you were trying to draw out known bigots. That’s a self-serving pile of crap.
