Having now waded through all 4 pages, and judging by the fact that G.Nome’s name doesn’t appear anywhere, I would guess that she’s unhappy because she apparently missed the party of the century. And now **I’m** pissed, too, and I wasn’t even planning on going… ---

I’d also like to take this opportunity to alert the moderators to the fact that while logging on to the board this morning, I tripped over an article on the cover page and broke my hip. My personal injury lawyer will be communicating with you shortly. I expect all posts and threads containing the words “a”, “an” and “the” to be deleted by the closing of the month. Thank you. ---

I have now passed the point of being offended and have now moved on to totally insulted with the new knowledge of a party I wasn’t invited to as well as the misuse of the word “you’re”. If someone mentions the word “felch”, I am just going to have to explode. ---

Any resemblance to a well known MP sketch is purely coincidental: GN = G.Nome R= Receptionist GN: Ah. I’d like to be easily offended, please. R: Certainly sir. Have you been here before? GN: No, I haven’t, this is my first time. R: I see. Well, do you want to be offended just once, or were you thinking of taking a course? GN: Well, what is the cost? R: Well, It’s one pound for a five minute offend, but only eight pounds for a course of ten. GN: Well, I think it would be best if I perhaps started off with just the one and then see how it goes. R: Fine. Well, I’ll see who’s free at the moment. Pause R: Ahh yes, the SDMB; room 12. GN: Thank you. ---

A= Easily Offended Person (John Cleese) GN = Ms G.Nome GN: (Knock) A: Come in. GN: Ah, Is this the right room to be offended? A: I told you once. GN: No you haven’t. A: Yes I have. GN: When? A: Just now. GN: No you didn’t. A: Yes I did. GN: You didn’t A: I did! GN: You didn’t! A: I’m telling you I did! GN: You did not!! A: Oh, I’m sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute offend or the full half hour? GN: Oh, just the five minutes. A: Ah, thank you. Anyway, I did. GN: You most certainly did not. A: Look, let’s get this thing clear; I quite definitely told you. GN: No you did not. A: Yes I did. GN: No you didn’t. A: Yes I did. GN: No you didn’t. A: Yes I did. GN: No you didn’t. A: Yes I did. GN: You didn’t. A: Did. GN: Oh look, this isn’t offensive. A: Yes it is. GN: No it isn’t. It’s just contradiction. A: No it isn’t. GN: It is! A: It is not. GN: Look, you just contradicted me. A: I did not. GN: Oh you did!! A: No, no, no. GN: You did just then. A: Nonsense! GN: Oh, this is futile! A: No it isn’t. GN: I came here to be offended. A: No you didn’t; no, you came here to be offended. GN: Being offended isn’t just contradiction. A: It can be. GN: No it can’t. Being offended is when someone says something you, personally, find….offensive. A: No it isn’t. GN: Yes it is! It’s not just contradiction. A: Look, if I’m going to offend you, I must do something you find offensive GN: Yes, but that’s not just saying ‘I’m offending you’ A: Yes it is! GN: No it isn’t! Being offended is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of any statement the other person makes. (short pause) A: No it isn’t. GN: It is. A: Not at all. GN: Now look. A: (Rings bell) Good Morning. GN: What? A: That’s it. Good morning. GN: I was just getting interested. A: Sorry, the five minutes is up. GN: That was never five minutes! A: I’m afraid it was. GN: It wasn’t. ---

> [@](#): > > Quit. You’re bitching. Are you questioning my ethics, because if you are, I would consider that to be completely unfair. I would like to say that I found something in the following thread to be a little bit offensive: > [@](#): > > Shut up iampunha. If you are going to confuse me with another poster at least confuse me with someone who hasn’t offended someone. If I remember right, iampunha once stuck up for Coldfire when Uncle Beer said something like “Damn that Coldie stinks” and iampunha said “Like shit he does.” I was highly offended by the implication that (1) Uncle Beer took it upon himself to judge Coldie’s odor, (2) iampunha said the “s” word, and (3) that Coldie high and might position as a mod gives him the right not to bathe before typing on the SDMB. There has GOT to be a mod conspiracy in there somewhere, where I don’t know, you’ll have to research it yourself. It’s completely unfair and offensive and damnit, I have now confused myself. Oh, and don’t make me come over there and bitch slap you Fenris. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Diane \* > **…and (3) that Coldie high and might position as a mod gives him the right not to bathe before typing on the SDMB.** Tell you what. I scratch my ass, and _then_ type on the SDMB. It’s a Dutch consitutional right, dammit. I’m highly offended by your attacks on my **humane basic rights** , you felchin’ beeyatch. Should you continue to taunt me like this, I will become terminally offended and move to New Zealand to last my days together with **G. Nome**. We’ll sit together on a bench, overlooking the ocean. Muttering phrases about how _unfair_ it all is. How undignified we’ve been treated by the SDMB at large. After all the work an energy we gave that place! Unless the thought of spending eternity with li’l old me _offends_ **G. Nome** , of course. Then I’ll just stay here, I suppose. Where _is_ our little 'Nomie, by the way? She’s usually too thick to back away from an argument that she’s clearly lost at step one, so what’s taking her now? ---

Evilbeth: I did not search high and low. I was offended accidentally when I put DrMatrix in the search engine. I was checking the People Pages out because I wanted to vote in the Beauty Contest. After the D’s I gave up but DrMatrix looked interesting to me - so I checked him out. The thread was one he had contributed to. Ok, I don’t believe Cecil Adams is a twenty-year-old moustachioed male nor do I believe he is an African American party animal. But the thought that he might be the latter almost certainly doesn’t seem as ridiculous to me as it does to AndyGirl and SmackFu etc. They labelled the following photograph JB\_Farley dancing with Cecil Adams.

> [@](#): > > I don’t believe Cecil Adams is a twenty-year-old moustachioed male nor do I believe he is an African American party animal. As Cecil’s evil twin (who knows nothing), I can assure you that Cecil is most definitely a twenty-year-old moustachioed male or an African American party animal. Unless he finally got that plastic surgery he wanted. If so, then he’s a hot blonde woman with huge breasts.
