I figured I would give the really mean among us a chance to stand up and be counted.

I’ll go first to get the ball rolling:

SaxFace: The woman in the pink shirt is cute, but you might try shaving - and smile!

Anyone else?

Okay, I don’t know Shayna’s feeling on this topic, but I personally find it offensive.

I realize this topic was meant in fun but I fear that a few people will get hurt. Shayna and I aren’t working on this project for division of the people on our board.

So please, if you must make fun, do it in jest and be sure that you are not jabbing to be mean. If this happens I will ask the thread to be closed.

Sorry, I just don’t want to see all our work become a breeding ground for problems.

Thanks for understanding.

Thank you, techchick, I was just trying to find a diplomatic way to say that I don’t think this thread is really in the best interests of the board.

And, personally speaking, I think it should be closed right now. Some of the people here cannot be counted on to be kind at all, even under the best of circumstances, and I think this thread just gives them a license to be “funny” at other people’s expense.

PS: I am not talking about Osip, or obfusciatrist.

\<sigh\>

By all means, if I offended anyone close the thread. Such was not my intent.

I’d been scrolling through the pictures again (an effort I very much appreciate techchick and Shayna!) and in several of them I wasn’t sure who the SD person was and who was someone who just happened to be in the picture.

Right after one of these I saw SaxFace’s picture and it amused me and I posted (apparently unwisely).

I thought Osip’s post was good natured teasing at my expense, thus my second post.

SaxFace, if I offended you, I apologize. And please tell your dog that he/she is cute too.

Moderators: Please close this thread.

Ummmmmmm…actually, **obfusciatrist** was making a funny-funny.

**SaxFace’s** picture has HER in a pink shirt, cuddling a big ol’ dawg.

Get it? He was calling her cute, flirting, in his own special way. The joke was, he appeared to be confusing her with the dog. {brushing away the flop sweat}

\*Psssst…a link might have helped, \*_obfie._

obfusciatrist,

I know you did it to have fun. I completely understand that. I just don’t want to see anyone get their feelings hurt.

I don’t mean anything mean by what I said I am just concerned for the people that have given their pics to us for the pages.

I hope you understand that.

So far we’ve avoided the nasties that techie and coal-baby anticipated (as I did); good joke thread with too much potential for boogers we don’t want to know about. I _was_ going to triple what Anthracite said, but needed a reboot and the thread grew.

Textual humour is a learned art. In the eye of the beholder means different things in _this_ medium.

Good luck, people!

I’ll double **Silver\_Fire’s** doubling of what **Saint Zero** said–I ain’t having my ugly mug laughed at by you guys. You’ll just have to be content with laughing at my opinions instead.
