Why do you think I put the “LOL” behind it? Just trying to lighten the mood a little, and let on that I don’t take myself as serious as all that in spite of my apparent talent to piss everyone off. But I guess some people have no sense of humor. Pity. ---

We are amused, not angry. This constant refrain of “you’re all just mad because I’m challenging your preconceptions” is just laughable. You’re coming off as a clueless, self-important jerk. I’m willing to entertain the possibility that maybe you’re not, but you need to chill out, and get over this idea that you’re so much smarter than every one else here. Trust me, you ain’t. ---

Trust me, you ain’t. \*\* Nice attempt at trying to safe face, but no sale. So far I haven’t seen a lot of people here acting too “amused”. If some of the reactions I get around here are a sign of amusement, I don’t want to see these same folks pissed off! Or maybe some people here just have a really strange idea of the meaning of the word “amused” (the concept fits in nicely with the language-themed debates, come to think of it.) If you all allow yourselves to get bent out of shape by my posts, at least have the guts to admit as much. ---

You’re getting bent out of shape because people got bent out of shape about your getting bent out of shape over two phrases that _don’t affect you_? ---

Another thing I hate is euphemistacally describing retarded people as “special” instead of just calling them retarded. I’m glad to report, though, that in recent history, we seem to be somewhat getting away from that, and similar p.c. lingo. I guess people are finally getting fed up with at least some of this bullshit. ---

Uh-huh, and I’ll bet you don’t like them uppity negros calling themselves black, right? Or handicapped people not calling themselves “cripples” Let’s see if we can preempt Suspenderzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz next few pit-rants. Um…he doesn’t like “widow”, he’d prefer “wife of the corpse” He doesn’t like “gay” when “faggot” is perfectly acceptible. C’mon! Join in! It’s fun and EVERYONE can play! Fenris ---

Wife of the corpse…hee hee. Nice one, **Fenris** And I suppose, rather than “widower”, **Suspenders** prefers the term “free man”. Now, before everyone jumps all over me again _cough_ **Libertarian** _cough_ ;), it’s just a joke. It’s a horrible, horrible joke, but it is just a joke. For the record, yes I _did_ manage to get married, despite the handicap of this sense of humor. My wife even thinks I’m funny. Occasionally. ---
