Jazz - my feeling exactly! That’s why I was rattling her cage - cause I’ve had the same impression from the posts I’ve read (not many, to be sure - just don’t think they’re interesting). I suspect she didn’t anticipate the negative reactions,is afraid of pissing people off by arguing her point, and is now trying to appease everyone. Oh well, I tried. ---

Melin–she’s Venus of Villendorf (or Willendorf). And if you saw “The Thirteenth Warrior” the enemy tribe uses it as a totem. I like sig lines. I have bumper stickers on my car, why not on my computer? * * * “On the edge of sleep, I awoke to a sun so bright…” ---

> [@](#): > > Sycorax - cool. Finally someone else that doesn’t bend over backwards to kiss kelli’s ass. Add me to the list. Although I have made it a point to be nicer to Kel (and yeah, I’ll still try), I have to jump in and say that I agree 100 percent! She is so quick with the "FUCK YOU . . . . blah blah blah. . . . " quotes until someone calls her on them, then she backs down and pours on the syrupy “I’m so cute so don’t be mean to me by fighting back” garbage. To me, she seems like she is trying too hard to be “cute”. There is a thing as trying too hard. ## As far as the Sweetheart of the SDMB, I already gave that award to ChrisCTP and she didn’t even have to be all gooey to win. 🙂 \>^,^\< KITTEN If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic. ---

_Blinks_ I’ve been mentioned in the Pit! Or at least my signature line has… My life has now been made complete. 🙂 And just last night someone asked me, “Do you like kellibelli?” To which I was forced to admit a certain admiration for many of her posts. And now, alas, to have that wiped away over something as silly as a signature line! _sigh_ Actually, that would be perfectly, ridiculously, foolish - and the truth is, I’m flattered she even noticed, approvingly or not. 🙂 So, Miss, in honor of your opinion, and with respect to your delicate sensibilities in regard to signature lines, I hereby renounce my own. Well… for THIS thread, anyway. Have a wonderful, tag-free day! J.D.P. ---

I guess it makes me ‘syrupy sweet’, but I find it hard to muster up enough dislike for anyone to maintain a flame for any length of time. _THIS_ is why I try not to participate in those ‘favorite poster’ threads. I didnt come here to be ‘popular’, and I never claimed to be deep or profound, I am just here. And I dont deserve petty ‘backlash’ any more than I deserve to be noted as the most popular poster. I didnt tally up the votes, I didnt start the thread, and I didnt campaign, so comments like \* “Sycorax - cool. Finally someone else that doesn’t bend over backwards to kiss kelli’s ass.”\* make me wonder what the hell I ever did to bother you. I dont go around asking people to be my pal, to kiss my ass, although you are more than invited to plant your lips right in the center! My name is familiar to people because I post alot, I have no illusions of grandeur! Look at Bunnygirl (who?) she was the tops of the pop. charts, until she couldnt post alot from work anymore…it will be the same with me. For fuck’s sake, its not like I put “most popular poster of the SDMB” in my sig line or anything ! (no offence to chris, she IS a sweetheart) And Alphagene, I assumed you were a woman because of your superior wit and intellect…I was obviously wrong on more than one of those. You can all eat me, I was reading a ‘great debate’ got annoyed,and posted a thread. I am NOT filled with hate or malice, so sue me. ---

Methinks the distance might be a problem. It’s about 1500 miles (2400KM) from Toledo, Ohio to Salt Lake City, Utah. But I think I will add her to my “to do” list over in MPSIMS. * * * “The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind.” - _Humphrey Bogart_ ---

I’m really really dumb. I don’t know how to attach a sig file to my posts. I tried checking the “show signature” box, but all that did was put a line of dashes under my message. If someone tells me how to do a sig, I promise it won’t be a heinously long one… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-sig-line-is-too-fucking-long/2658.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-sig-line-is-too-fucking-long/2658.md?page=4)
