[Leafgal 3]

Happy to hear it Lisa.

Tsk, you're supposed to stand up for your man but instead you're hoping they don't hate you too

I don't buy his fights, he knows it. I've learned a while ago to quit buying other people's fight, because in the end i'd always get my a$$ fuck3d plus he knows my thoughts about creating a lot of threads with the same subject. I stand by him but that doesn't mean i have to agree with everything he says or do. The same way i don't agree with the big deal people are making about this, i think that should've stopped this morning...

Well said Nessa!

topic how to keep things from getting ugly, last joke for the day (and thanks to canadalaura for complaints about

posted today, 10:01 AM

so - a total 15 joke threads over an hour and a half. surely a reason to crucify someone........

then in comes the pm from canadalaura. so while i'm finishing up the last 2 that i'd selected for posting and answering canadalaura's pm's, unbeknownst to me, a thread started with me as the topic. such was noticed only after i finished posting the last joke and after the pm's with canadalaura were finished.

so let's review. someone posts too much, something that many of those flinging the poo apparently have done before. so let's start a thread about them, diplomacy is not required, let's just give them a hard time. then i'm told to grow up. how special...........

I'd just like to apoloise for my harsh tone today. It's no excuse, but I've been very touchy today & I suppose I took some out on Charles. :energetic:

I'm not apologizing for sh!t. I was telling the truth. It was ANNOYING. I have no idea why this is still going on though...

Isn't that what the "Am I Overreacting?" thread is for?

charlesandnessa, I didn't crucify anyone with my thread, nor did I 'sling poo' . If I did, I would have said 'charlesandnessa, you totally suck and you're annoying and I don't like you. Stop posting all of those threads you stupid git.' THAT would have been crucifying and poo slinging and completely out of line.

Again, I thought you would say 'whoops' and we'd all have a laugh, and someone else who may not have known better would have learned something for future reference.

But if you feel crucified and poo'd on, I can't control that anymore than I can control what happened since then, or who PMd who.

I call B.S. You ignored diplomatic efforts previously. It took a bomb to get your attention.

Flinging facts, not poo.

you can think that if you wish. to be told that i'm annoying is not what i'd call diplomacy. and i've crossed swords with you before so your response is not unexpected.

damn, this thread is a 1st class clusterfuck...

You mean when I asked you with a humorous slant that you stop posting just for heart and flowers? I didn't call you annoying.

It's not crossing swords, charles, it's about the community saying how they want members to participate. Do you have so many friends that you don't need more? I've only ever passed one or two posts with you and now my "response is not unexpected"?

Some people are here for serious business, some people aren't. The OT forum was created as a place for you to keep 'that stuff" out of the immigration forums so they stay relevant. That doesn't include adding a post that says "I have no idea of the answer".

Since you're posting jokes presumably to amuse others, you must care about those 'others'. Why not consider the feedback about how the others would like to be treated instead of striking out?
