writing that i must be a sorry excuse for a human being, and that you wouldn’t hang around me in the real world… was apparently making you people feel better, or serving some purpose… for only god knows what.
I just didn’t want your healing party to end.
it’s cute.
now let’s get to the important stuff, shall we?
should I be beheaded or burned alive?
OOH OOH, I have a response. MissBungle, I know you don’t give a crap, but you’ve changed my mind this morning about you. I thought you were just plain mean. You’re not. Hear ye, hear ye in this thread : http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168417 she showed concern for another human life.
Huzzah, MissBungle, and my apologies.
Yeah, djf, I thought I’d heard something, too. I guess it was just the wind.
No, really, featherlou posts some great stuff. I was especially fond of your pre-wedding rants. I wanted to round them all up in one massive e-mail and send them to my mother with a note: You wanna know why we’re not having even a semi-traditional wedding? It’s this horseshit, right here! That’s why. I ain’t putting up with it.
Hijack? What hijack? What are you people talking about?
You are invited to the 2003 Spring Pit Potluck. Bring a guest, some tunes and a few helpings of your favorite dish!

If that’s not a personal attack, I don’t know what is.
I know you wrote your post before it hit the fan in my thread, but it’s there just the same.
To be honest, I wasn’t aware of MissBungle before my thread. My activity on the board was skimming for most of February, so I missed a lot.
But my introduction to her was as an abrasive, uncaring individual. What she said was true (as she pointed out), but her post oozed condescension. It wasn’t what she said, it was how she said it.
That’s just not nice. I don’t mind anyone disagreeing with me, but I’ve never cared for the type of post that is little more than running in and peeing on the carpet. Usually it’s a drive-by, when someone has a knee-jerk reaction, jumps in with a “Bush is a turd!” and then leaves.
MissBungle has taken it to point where she comes in, pees on the carpet, then stands there smiling, expecting a pat on the head and a cookie.
To cast aspersions on my parenting ability…sorry, that’s way out of line, and an extremely personal attack.
Hey, we were talking about ME! When did all this other stuff creep in? Did someone say chicken vindaloo?
(CrazyCatLady, I had forgotten all about those wedding rants. I think I’ll put them all in a document and Dread Pirate Jimbo and I will read them on our anniversaries.)
And then there was that snideness over in Coldfire’s nipple thread. (Nothing, of course, compared to what Kang and Kodos came up with…)
I suppose nothing she’s said is strikingly out of bounds. She’s just creating a first impression for herself that isn’t very flattering. I know “If you can’t find something nice to say, don’t say anything at all” isn’t exactly the popular credo around here sometimes, but she seems to interject her unpleasant comments into otherwise upbeat, fun, jokey threads. What she does is neither nice nor polite.
Can I bring some rice and chili sauce to this cookout we’re having?
