…but there was a picture of a certain doper who was so ugly that the kind hearted Shayna refused to put up his picture.

At a recent doperfest, this individual demanded to know why, and Shayna told me–I mean–my “friend” that she wanted to spare my–I mean–my “friend’s” feelings, that the SDMB denizens were kind but “even they have limits”.

Just posted as a public service to make you all feel superior by comparison.

P.S. I’m told that this poster compensates by adept at quoting a certain famous English author. He even made a crush list or two. Obviously by people who have never seen him.

“…by **BEING** adept…”

Obviously, attention to detail is another fault that this individual has.

I know, techchick, and I appreciate your feelings. And I certainly don’t want to be the cause of any problems. I just should have thought things out better before posting.

Hindsight. I should have realized that not everybody would go look at the picture first. I think I came uncomfortably close to being viewed as a troll. Ten years on the 'net and that the first time that has happened. I don’t like the feeling.

Strangley, you aren’t the first to say that about me (and I presume you were talking about me).

Sorry… didn’t mean to post unseriously in a serious discussion… sorry, obfusciatrist I know no harm was ment. And by me either. I was just taking the OP as it was ment, or so I think. _grin_
