Reports coming in?? If you don't like what is on TV you change it or turn it off. Sheesh!

VJ- Kills Fun Dead.

[chri'stina 190]

I know I am not alone in feeling this thread is simply a vent thread aimed at other people with "stupid" questions. I find that really sad. If the negativity continues I will close the thread.

Seriously? Isn't it better that we vent frustrations here and have a laugh instead of directly at someone who is asking such a question?

Aside from the fact that some of these questions are probably things we, as noobs, wondered ourselves. So in that way, we're taking the piss out of ourselves too.

VJ has felt so heavy and dreadful lately - what is the harm?

I really didn't want to post in this thread because I don't feel like debating anymore today about anything...but I think part of the problem is that there are real questions and real phrases here that are being made fun of. I think joking about the process is a different thing.

I just had commented a short while ago in a K1 thread that was locked, and said some people were being rude, etc. and not long after some of my words and others' word were used as one of the "joking" comments here. I don't find that funny. I know some people don't know whether these are real questions or not. Maybe some don't seem to realize all of VJers can read this thread even if we don't comment in it. Maybe a newbie who asked a question will read this thread and see their question being joked about.

If anyone saw their words being used I am sure they would feel the same. I don't know whether I'll be called a stick in the mud for writing this, but some people need to know that there are real questions/words being used here.

If I have done that, then I apologize because it was NOT my intent. I was doing it to have a laugh, and it certainly was not directed at anyone in particular.

If others have done that, well, then I didn't glean that. I don't see why the rest of us shouldn't be able to have a laugh because of the ones who DID do that.

And let's be serious here for a minute - when has this NOT been done on VJ? I can think of multiple times where that's been done to me or to someone else. But how does the argument always go? 'Just don't 'rise' to it because if you do, then you're just as guilty as the person who started it.' Blah Blah Blah. SSDD.

As we've been saying for a while now, that is part and parcel of the 'way of things' around here - has been for a long time. I thought the consensus was not to change that - but now the tide has turned?

Personally I've thought this thread is great not just for the laughs, but maybe its given an opportunity for some folks who have 'had it out' in the past to now have a laugh (forgive and forget and all that). I would see that as a GOOD thing, but that's just me.

And Suegra! - we tried! But I guess the phrase is 'enjoy it while it lasts!' ?

I haven't done anything in retaliation for what I felt was written here gleaned from my words, so I have not risen to anything. And the tide has not turned for me.

I can understand how this is an excellent way to vent - but that is all it is doing. It doesn't address any of the "bothersome" posts that are posted here on VJ, it is just a form of communication for all of those who are getting annoyed by it all and I think it is coming across quite badly too.

Or split 'em. Or maybe just make 'em invisible.

I didn't say you DID retaliate or rise to anything.

I wasn't referring to you about the 'tide' either. It was more of a rhetorical question.
