    Tom, do you enjoy stumbling into a room of people chatting, only to discover their conversation to be shallow by your own standards. Do you then enjoy blasting the author of the conversation, only to find that everyone else in the room thinks you're out of line and wishes you would just GTFO?

    boy, cuz I sure do enjoy such things!

    First off... how have I taken her out of context?

    Secondly, how have I rabidly attacked her, she posted a request for opinions... I offered mine...

    Since then, it has become more and more of a free for all attack on me, because I called it the way I saw it, and offered an opinion when one was asked for.

    As for the whole, why not try to be decent to her? Because I don't like shallow people and don't waste a single second of my time, trying to make them feel better.

    Perhaps the impression I got of her is wrong... perhaps its right, I really don't know and don't care... If I have a bad impression of someone, for whatever reason, I am not going to lose a seconds sleep over how they feel about me.

    Why would I? Why would anyone??

    Not being able to infer the tone of her post as satirical is taking out of context.

    If you have a wrong impression of her which you admit you may have...

    And did.

    why should you be concerned if you insult her even though your impression is wrong?

    You ask this question, and then wonder why everyone is going at you?

    Just chill Tom.

    And again, not what people think about you. You should be decent for your own benefit.

    Glad I can brighten your day then...

    and you ask the wrong question... do I enjoy speaking my mind would be better... or do I enjoy backing up what I say with the reason's I said it... or do I enjoy conversations where people are forced to step back from their normal nonsensical standard line and actually think about what is being said... or do I enjoy being able to speak my opinion in a forum that specifically about people speaking their opinion....

    the answers to all of those, is yes, very much so...

    Do I especially enjoy speaking my opinion in a forum that is so dedicated to 'free speech' that people can openly express any idea as long as it isn't a libelous attack on another member?

    People are allowed to make insulting comments to one another based on sex, age, gender, race, disabilities and so on here as long as it isnt directed at another user, and it is defended as their right to do so....

    And then you expect me to think I should in some way tone down the fact that I am also allowed the exact same thing?

    Not a chance...

    Wtf tom, that doesn't answer my question at all. I don't care about how you feel when posting on gay hippie message boards. Tom. You are spectacular at dancing around my questions.

    and btw, do you really live at Lost Acres? You're actions don't really match up with their mission statement very well.

    Lost Acres seems like an assholes paradise.

    It's not a free speech issue though. We're just pointing out that life may be more fulfilling if you're not being a dick.

    Resist the dick.

    It doesn't answer your question, because to answer it, I would have to agree with the premises of it. I don't therefore I can't answer it, which is why I said it was the wrong question.

    you have repeatedly called me personally shallow, how is that not a libellous attack?
    which would be a violation of the forum guidelines

    :banghead:
    yes the whole thing as i have previously stated was satirical also known as sarcastic also known as sardonic also known as ironic
    do i need to keep listing synonyms?

    I just can't believe someone could be so thick as to take your original post completely seriously, even if said person didn't know you at all. :confused:

    for?

    I am fully willing to admit that maybe I missed some sort of secret code in the OP that made me misinterpret it...

    Here's the way I see it...

    she asked a question, offered choices and said be honest...

    this part I took to be a serious post... and what I said, stands if it was...

    If it wasn't, just what clue did I miss that made it so?

    The last part, when I first read it, my thought was that it was sarcasm, mainly because it was marked with a wink... except that it wasn't... it was just a smiley face. To which I took to mean that she was happy that she was a shallow person and happy with the fact that her and 'hottie' would get along...

    So, which clue is it in here that I missed that makes this sarcasm? Was I supposed to get a secret decoder ring in my email?

    Maybe he was raised in a really small town without radio, and everyone says exactly what they mean all the time.

    "Why would a chicken be crossing the road?" Tom says.
