 it is easy to dispense with all kinds of etiquette.

not for me it isn't.  I am not sure where people get the idea that good manners stops at the computer keyboard.

All I'm saying is that it's easy to ignore some rules of etiquette. Some people are more direct no matter the forum. If one wishes to be glib and sarcastic with strangers, that may not be polite but it isn't meant to be taken that seriously either.

Mrebo said:

We're addressing representations of people.

incorrect, we are addressing people.   I know you are a real human being with a heart and feelings, and you know the same about me.

Maybe you are exactly the same in the real life as you are on the internet. I'm sure a lot of us are different though. We project a persona. It's not about pretending to be someone else (for the most part). It's that we are able to sit back and think of a thoughtful response or not respond at all (when we may otherwise be a raving lunatic). We are able to throw out the first caustic thought that comes to mind because we think it's witty (when we may otherwise be quite reserved). We can offer advice as if we're a newspaper columnist and not as if we're speaking to a stranger face-to-face. And whatever we post, we can easily go back to watching funny videos, rather than anticipating an immediate and direct reply. And since we're strangers, we don't know any better what the other person is really like.

Sometimes people do cross a line. I've seen that happen against you and others have risen to your defense.

But you're right that the ignore function exists for a reason. I have no use for it but my puppet has thick felt.

so I guess you telling me that I am thin skinned?  you wouldn't be the first to tell me that. 

I'm saying that my puppet has thick felt! When "Voldemort" (he who must not be named) frequented these forums, he threw out personal insults. In real life I would have taken that personally. On here, I got more annoyed with his negative impact on discussion. The fact that he was trying to be clever and actually doesn't know me made it natural to forgo further emotional impact. I had the option of responding to his posts in a measured fashion, designed to reveal his foolishness (not that he needed help). In real life I would have put him on ignore.

J'espère, qu'un jour, je vous aurai présenté une pipe. C'est existentiel.

huh?

 Houla ! Disons que c' est le genre de choses qu' il ne faut pas forcer ! Ca se présente tout seul naturellement, ou pas du tout.

Précisément!

care to translate?

To some: "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee."

To a distinct minority: well, you know.

I'm a much better kisser than a wookie. Of course maybe you know that and I'm in the distinct minority.

All true... Still I hope everyone have more interesting activities.

I might be wrong but I suspect the gifbombs are the problem.

Yea for being friends!

Rich?  What makes you say that?

 Both the tip I get and the price of my cashew nuts.

I suspected as such, though wasn't sure... I'm still ignored so...

My current ignore list here:
You have no users on your ignore list.
2 members have you on their ignore list:

Jedi Temple34
Sluggo

*Would be sadness gif here symbolizing that I don't know what exactly caused the ignore. Thus in my confusion the best visual representation of said confusion is a sad gif, because I don't particularly enjoy confusion in matters I can usually discern. Consequently the sad animated gif would represent that small bit of disappointment. However small my disappointment may be the animated gif would'v likely been over exaggerated for lulz effect.*

 

Which brings us at last to the moment of truth, wherein the fundamental flaw is ultimately expressed, and the anomaly revealed as both beginning, and end. There are two doors. The door to your right leads to the source, and the salvation of Zion. The door to the left leads back to the matrix, to her, and to the end of your species. As you adequately put, the problem is choice. But we already know what you're going to do, don't we? Already I can see the chain reaction, the chemical precursors that signal the onset of emotion, designed specifically to overwhelm logic, and reason. An emotion that is already blinding you from the simple, and obvious truth: she is going to die, and there is nothing that you can do to stop it. 

:-P

... Or just press "ESC" to freeze the Gifs... Simpler.

We only wanted to discuss the possible merits of DTS! Possible at best! ;)

Warbler said:

oh, I didn't realize you had forgotten.   That's alright.    Maybe someone else remembers.   Of course I am sure Bingo himself remembers, but his recollection might be biased in his favor.    perhaps maybe C3PS or Gaffer Tape might remember.    I guess it doesn't matter. 

Sorry, Warb, but I'm afraid I do not remember the details either, although I am quite flattered that you would think I would.  Honestly, though, what Bingo said earlier about ice cream... that does ring a bell... somewhere around late summer of 2010, perhaps?

Neo-politician?  That flavor is THE ONE for me!

Yea for being friends!

Yay for friends!

Boo for misuse of the word "Yea".  Especially from a one who should know better.
