Damn, Dan!
You forgot to call her a complete and total SMEG HEAD as well.

Dear Daniel, not that I disagree with your opinion, but what exactly is a GIT?
The best guess I can make is goddam idiotic toad.
Inquiring minds want to know these things.
{{I’m going to continue to be my caustic, slightly misanthropic self, and if any moderator sees the need to moderate me or to edit my posts (as Lynn did recently), I’ll just suck it up and drive on.
Instead of whining about it.

I want you to know that it HURT to modify that post, too, it was a work of art.
And I hope I’m not near you next time you have a bad day.

I can have an opinion can’t I?
Did you really read my posting?
GIMME a break…good gawd, this is a free country, I can have a freaking opinion of my own.
I am thinking that my “newness” here is threatening to those that have been here a while.
Lighten up, I realize this is the area to flame…good God, I was making my opinions known with the expression that I hadn’t been privy to all the things that led up to this posting.
Get a freaking life and get off my ass, read my damned posting again and see my realization…
I wonder if there can be any humor in this thread? Like I said, I might make some enemies, but better enemies than enemas (sp)
BTW…read my posting THOROUGHLY and you will see that I was viewing this as a freakin outsider (hahahahahaha) so there.
I wonder how many actually read the postings to to get a clear picture of the author’s intent. And can make a clear assumption based on the original posting rather than pick the shit apart like a vulture on a carcass.
TechChick68, yes, you certainly have the right to have an opinion. However, no one is obligated to respect that opinion, especially when it is expressed incoherently.
Lets all give a BIG WELCOME to thechchick…Kilroy’s younger sister!
Welcome! I dont want you to think I am threatened by your ‘newness’.
Spare me.
Are you threatening me?
Everyone, RUN AWAY!!! I am sensing some sparkling, brand spanking newness in the form of TechChick68. She has secretly stumbled upon the veteran SDMBer fear, that of newness. Much like krypton to Superman, newness to a regular is both debilitating and frightening, just without the neat greaan glow. So, TechChick, the pit is all yours now. We are all getting out of your pool of newness, please just leave us alone so we don’t have to deal with and be intimidated by your newness. Yes, TechChick’s newness, Scarier than an IRS audit, a ticking timebomb, or an Al Gore presidency.
Yes, the weather is the same up here. Yes, I play basketball. No, never heard a tall joke before. Aaaargh.
Techchick, what the hell?
Did someone flame you so horribly that the mods deleted the post?
Why are you angry?
You didn’t seem to understand the point of the Pit. You wondered why we weren’t talking about important topics and why we were flaming over worthless stuff. BUT THAT’S THE DAMN POINT OF THE PIT!
Your posts outside the Pit are intelligent contribution to the Board. Maybe it be best for all concerned if you just stay out of the Pit. I’ve only been here a month, but I’ve already seen 4 newbies pop up and be transformed into trolls because they overreacted to criticism. And posting a lot in the Pit is a good way to be criticised, because that’s all anyone does in the Pit.
Just trying to help.

Just a quick thought from Jesus (whose more benighted followers started the imbroglio that brought about this thread):
From St. Luke, slightly paraphrased (because I don’t remember the literal quote verbatim except the last line)
While I can endorse the reaction proposed here, I think it’s a goofy way to encourage tolerance. “Be nice to people who are mean to you, 'cause it’ll make them feel horrible (or get them punished in hell, I’m hoping the “heaping coals” is a metaphor).” Why not “If anyone castigates you, speak nothing but good to him, for thus he might see that he overreacted, and learn not to jump to conclusions so quickly, and become a better person for it.” Are we such reprobates that we can be polite to someone who’s mean to us only because it will hurt them?
Techchick, don’t let the flames upset you here. This is the Pit–I could post “I like oxygen” and get flamed for it.
“Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting.”
Oh, so oxygen isn’t good enough for the rest of us, Gaudere? Some of us are willing to defend our oxy-rights, you oppressor.
sorry . . . couldn’t help it.

Only if you, yourself, were flammable.
(Did you miss the thread a few weeks ago discussing the fact that oxygen does not burn?)
God bless you each and every one, and may your lives be long and wonderful.
Take that, Ai\ Yue- Ha
!
Oh yeah? Well … well … well, HAVE A NICE DAY!!! So there!
I don’t know how anyone could be stupid enough to like oxygen. Do you know what oxygen is doing to my car? Huh? Do any of you self-centered navel-gazers even give a damn about anyone else’s car? Huh?
Lower than worm sweat, each and every mother’s son of you…
