[QUOTE=pinkfreud] Whew, good thing for you that you didn’t start this thread in the Pit, where you would have been eaten by wild dogs and then shat out into a writhing pile of rattlesnakes that spit acid.

[QUOTE=Czarcasm] [Official Moderator Underoos On]Bad thing for you that I didn’t fall for this “clever” attempt to pit someone in the wrong forum. Do not do it again.[/Official Moderator Underoos On] [/QUOTE] I apologize to the OP and to the board. It was a wrongheaded attempt at humor. I didn’t mean to offend the OP. The object of my remark was the Pit mentality of “let’s pile on this person with whom we disagree.” It never occurred to me that anyone would take me seriously. ---

[QUOTE=Sonia Montdore] Thin skinned, you say. Maybe. You would certainly not say “Fuck off” to me in real life if we were face to face. Why should I tolerate it here? [/QUOTE] Thank you for just proving that you really didn’t get it. I stand by my original whooosh. ---

[QUOTE=Loach] Thank you for just proving that you really didn’t get it. I stand by my original whooosh. [/QUOTE] No, I _got_ the lame attempt at humor. It was predictable, unfunny, and offensive and proved my point about the need to improve manners on this board. ---

Well, _I_ thought **jjimm** ’s post was funny. As for the OP, dude that would suck. Hell, the Pit is my favorite sub-forum. Nothing like a good trainwreck. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! ---

“Fuck off” is funny? No, it’s juvenile. And that’s why some of the grownups are leaving the board. Because “fuck off” is not only acceptable around here, it’s considered wit. Pathetic. ---

Pathetic. [/QUOTE] You really and truly aren’t getting it. It wasn’t a good joke but somehow a thread like this would still be lacking without a variation of it. It is a SDMB tradition to respond to whatever someone is complaining about with an example of what someone is complaining about. Here is where you are going seriously wrong. The comment had absolutely nothing to do with you even though your name might be associated with it. It is just a traditional thread contribution to just make an example like that. The thought that you think it was actually directed at you rather than just being a general contribution shows that you aren’t looking at things the right way. This type of explanation is problematic because you can’t see what you can’t see and you don’t know what you don’t know. Trust me as a long time member that it looks stupid to complain about something like that when it was not directed at you even though you might try to show technically that it was. It wasn’t. Can we get some help in here? There is a shit-storm brewing over technicalities in the “Can’t we all get along thread”. ---

Pathetic. [/QUOTE] With each post you dig yourself deeper and prove you don’t get it. For some reason you think it was a personal insult to you. It was not. It was a joke. With two words he both objected to your post and proved it to be true. A nice quick drive by piece of snark. Apparently the mods agree since one has been here and not objected. If it was an insult directed at you there would be a mod smackdown. If your objection is to salty language then you need to get to the shallow end of the pool. It’s adult swim time.
