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.
