Whether I like or agree with them or not. I will, however, continue to post my opinion-as others see fit to do- until I am booted off or prohibited from doing. By their directives, not some other posters.

We wouldn't want you any other way:D

Im so impressed that a thread posted by someone complaining about drama and name calling has gone on for several pages...and its mostly name calling and drama :D. /sarcasim. I wasnt refering to woms comment (somewhat uncalled for yes Ill admit) when I said the OP had to take the same lumps as the rest of us with an opinion. Altho by virtue of complaining about it she got us all to demonstrate what she was complaining about. Mission acomplished!
By the way, its Fyre not Fry...was that an intentional typo or an honest mistake *grins*

PM Thatcher was referred to as the Iron Lady. The Dragon Lady of recent historical note would be Madame Chiang Kai Shek, or Madame Ngô Đình Nhu, First Lady of South Vietnam.

I am typing on my blackberry, predictive text, many words are virtually impossible to type. I wasn't positive of your screen name, and did the best I could.

Fair enough, I was posting from my Nokia so I understand! :D

No harm, no foul?

Well if someone called me a 'dragon lady' I'd be insulted, not complimented.

Dragon lady is by no means a compliment to anyone, and 'another' was typed in all capital letters meaning yelling in text land and emphasized in a negative way.

For backhanded compliments? Does anyone know what that actually means? There is no 'compliment' involved. It is simply an insult period.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backhanded_compliment
A backhanded compliment or left-handed compliment or asteism is an insult disguised as a compliment. It is generally used to belittle or condescend, or often one uses a backhanded compliment when one wants to insult someone in a subtle way.

http://www.answers.com/topic/left-handed-compliment
backhanded compliment. An insult in the guise of an expression of praise. For example, She said she liked my hair, but it turned out to be a left-handed compliment when she asked how long I'd been dyeing it. This expression uses left-handed in the sense of "questionable or doubtful," a usage dating from about 1600.

Sorry but I do not agree with 'backhanded compliment' being nice in any way, but that's just my opinion, I'm sure others may dissagree.

I am glad others saw Wom's comment as a thinly guised slap in the
face to the OP. (My computer was down or I would have posted earlier)

Karen, I love you but, you have the soul of a poet and probably see the
human race through rose colored glasses.;) People can sometimes just
be total jerks and it's best to tell them so. Peace.:)

Gawd, I hate not being around that much lately.

Sara, I do hope that you haven't left the boards and are still following this thread. Rest assured that I always have the very deepest of respect for you.

In life, the only true opinions you take to heart are those of people you respect. The words of anyone other than those select few are just that, words.

I am akin to you, and a fair few others on this board, in that I stick up for myself and am fiercely defensive of anyone else I believe is being treated unfairly. That is a good quality to have even if it very often results in being the 'condemned', the 'accused', or any other silly synonym people come up with.

I'm always on the other end of a PM.

JERK ????? JERK ????
You know, if those two tiny little neurons you have in your empty head ever manage to collide, you may come to the conclusion that name calling is a no no on this forum.
So Lizbud, if you don't have anything nice to say, then go suck eggs.

And you have just proven why she sometimes deletes threads. She being the E's secretary - not Karen. (but sometimes Karen too!):D

Let's see..........we have

Dragon Lady
Jerk
Suck Eggs:D:D:D

Nice, really nice!;)

enough already !!!!!
