Not really, although assorted knuckleheads have followed Shot From Guns’s lead in ragging Una over the question itself. But what Una is actually being pitted for is snarking at SFG in another forum, which SFG believes she did only because of a grudge over being insulted in this one.
Una’s question wasn’t stupid at all, and was immediately addressed by a couple of other dopers with perfectly reasonable responses. Three days later, SFG felt compelled to jump into the thread with her insult-comic shtick and drop this turd:
And she calls that “answering the question”:
Of course, SFG missed the whole point of Una’s question. I don’t doubt for a second that Una recognized the posts she was referring to as jokes (or at least intended as such). She was asking about the nature of the jokes: why did they take the form of bizarre non-sequiturs about AIDS and missing socks? It’s as if I had made a post in LOLspeak and someone asked “What’s with all the weird misspellings in that post?” Replying “It’s a joke, you fool! Don’t you have a sense of humor?” wouldn’t be a very intelligent way to address that question. Nor was SFG’s.
