Richard you have been around Orc to long.

Richard you have been around Orc to long.

The ORC would not put up with my sense of humor.

Personally?

I stopped being offended at being offended because someone was more offended than I was offended.

Or something like that.


My favorite line in the first Terminator movie was,

"Honey, Don't worry about it, In one hundred years no one will care...."

Being offended inspires me to look at the situation and laugh.

With all due respect to the people who have posted on the thread and about the thread?

In 99 years, 11 months , 28 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes no one will care or remember what I have posted or thought.

With that in mind, I don't think it really is worth getting my dander up.

What offends me now, will make me laugh tomorrow.


Did you know I have a giant pimple on my forehead today.

Tomorrow?

Who knows.

Now? I am getting offended....

Not saying anything curry favor from any one 'faction' or trying to suck up.


In all the time I have been here I have reminded myself that I am a 'guest' on this board. I have done and posted stupid things, been run thru the wringer for some, edited and reminded that my behavior wasn't up to snuff for the site.

That said?

It didn't keep me from having fun or thinking of ways to sneak in a double entendre, joke or resorting to the lowest common denominator to get a laugh.


I think that I have offended everyone on this site at least once, twice and have some people into the double digits. I look at that and really mesure that person by the way they react to me on other threads.

I have been offended by posts/threads in the past and somehow I have survived this long.


I think what people do not see is that there are ways to bring up a subject and by being smart, funny and tactful about it, it can survive the scrutiny of people that would be offended in the real world.

"My rule of "THUMB"?

When you want to put something up on the bulletin board?

Sometimes a push-pin is better than a sledgehammer and a brad.

Get it?

Pushpin? Hammer? Thumb?


With the pin/tack approach, the board stays up, people don't get pi$$ed off about you knocking it off the wall, and they get to read what you wrote and even answer.

The I HAVE BEEN "INDIGNICATED" act gets old after a while.

With that? I'll end with my mom's wisdom and POV.


Who cares what anybody does, as long as the do not use MY arse to do it.


Carry on, have a nice day and remember to be a DO BEE, not a DON'T Bee.

To be or not to be.
Be all you can be!
And
Do bee, Do bee, Do.......

You guys rock.

Oh come on people.. Are we not grown adults here.. Mistakes have been made & posted of needed correction.. I think its time Karen = Lock both Threads down.. Seems this is the only way to get closer to all of this.. Thank You All for the Inputs & Have A Very Nice Day && While You All Are At It = Go Look At Your Selves In The Mirror..

this kind of amuses me.. lol..

sorry if you feel your angst amuses me (not directed towards ANYONE in particular).. but every now and then someone will be offended by something.. we can´t go by deleting threads/posts etc or we will end with an empty forum... yeah we can disagree on topics, think some "wordings" are harsh, but we can still see the big picture... at least I know I can.. and I´m one that has used some "attention getter" titles.. and some might be taken not so good...

another thing is calling someone names.. making disrespectful comments or adjectives.. THAT should not be tolerated.. well.. it could but only with a great sense of humor which sometimes it just can´t be done..

I do think, and it´s nothing wrong about it, to bring on topic other topics from same original poster (this or whichever other thread) as IMO they ALL relate to the same person and one could say "hey on this thread you said this, but on this other one.."... another topic from another person could be dragged in IF it was about same issue .. not in this case.. where some rude comments were reffered to then added someone elses harsh descriptions.. although quite similar they are still not the same..

if we relate every bad comment, harsh wording, bad spelling, etc.. then we would have brought in tons of the threads here...

ES was and is entitled to her opinions and made a good point, but as I saw it ,Karen just reminded her of not bringing another topic into this thread.. but that it would be addressed properly.. even if she seemed to "bless" the title.. which I more think tolerated.. as I did.. I didn´t felt offended, sure it was a bit odd.. maybe too much for some others.. which is why I understand ES´s concern..

the thing here is that the OP has several times made rude comments, denigrating people, etc.. and all those "topics" arose here

no one is or needs to be "attacked"...we all just need our reins pulled sometimes.. sometimes it goes in PM´s sometimes it slips and goes into threads.. maybe ES´s situation is more noticeable as many have been open to everyone´s eyes.. but I bet I´m sure more like that have been done in private (to other people I meant)...

I´m sorry ES if you feel that no one has your back.. I for one consider myself a supporter, you certainly make some good points sometimes, sometimes you don´t, just like everyone else (not saying this was one.. was a good point but pertained or requiered either another thread or PM´s).. we can´t all think alike all the time... but don´t feel ganged up on.. I just thought clearing it up a bit in my words.. i don´t like seeing people taking sides..

That's why we are related.....

IVpets2002, I just looked in the mirror & it broke to pieces. Now I am going to have 7 years bad luck. I should of never read your post.

Now that is a decision I made to do read IVpets post & look what happened. If I would of ignored it like other posts on here I would not now end up having 7 years of bad luck.
