That’s **Oakminster **in the video, right? I heard it was him over in another sub-forum.
Hey, at least he didn’t call you “unnecessarily snotty”, or say you were being “more than a little annoying”. I mean, that would have been insulting!
At this point, I would be willing to propose making that a rule. It would save everybody a lot of trouble.
NOTICE THE SMILIE
More seriously, that of course is not the conclusion any reasonable person would draw. I am assuming you are joking, even though you evidently forgot to include a smilie.
Oh, the humanity!
I’ve seen so many insults go under the radar around here but I can’t see it in Tildrum’s post.
It is simply over the top comedic fiction .
I think Oakminster is really more offended by the OP’s gratuitous slam on lawyers in general which of course can not be for challenged for censure.
Goddammit, that’s MY schtick! :mad:
LMFAO. Oh God. That post is the most amazing thing I’ve seen all week.
I put this to the entire board, the mods, the admins and Ed Zotti and even **CECIL ADAMS HIMSELF that this be incorporated into the tagline.
THE STRAIGHT DOPE
FIGHTING IGNORANCE SINCE 1973
(IT’S TAKING LONGER THAN WE THOUGHT)
ALSO: FEEL FREE TO INSULT OAKMINSTER AT WILL. THE MODS WILL DO NOTHING!
Who’s with me on this historic proposal?
Also, I nominate Oakminster for The “SDMB Best Drama Queen-ish Post” for the above post.
It should at least be a sticky.
Oak,
I apologize. I was goofing around, and it was the wrong place to do so. I meant it to come across as a gag, not an insult, and clearly I did it badly. I have a ton of respect for you as a fellow lawyer and a Doper, and I’m sorry for being a jerk.
…for me to poop on?
Go get a room, guys!
Oops! Hope that’s not an insult.
Hell, it should be its own forum:
Smack Oakie Upside The Head (SOUTH)
For slinging gratuitous insults at Oakminster with impunity. This is an unmoderated forum.
Yucks aside, that was a stand-up gesture Tom. Which is always good to see.
Ditto. Well done Tom.
That video was offensive???
Do you truly, sincerely believe this?
Bolding mine.
Please be more accurate in your posting. There most certainly was a result to your reports, as evidenced by the fact that a moderator responded to them with an explanation.
I would suggest its more accurate to say that you simply didn’t like the result. In which case, tough shit.
That was very nice, Tom. Kudos to you.
Hey, no insults!!
