URGE TO POST THE FUCKING MIDDLE FINGER PIC IS RISING.
Calm down. Sometimes people need to clear the air and clear up things and come to an understanding in order to fix things and make things better for the future. That is what is happening here.
What I am saying is not unreasonable.
OK, i’ll tell you, my response was better as it was more broad. claiming that it’s fine to do something just because it is “your thing” is a terrible justification.
He said I shouldn’t do it as often, you said I should stop it completely. A bit different from just being more broad.
(hint, its more than the sighs). That’s all i really want to go into it because it is way off topic, and i don’t want to bring that all up again.
Well could you pm me or something? I can’t read minds or correct behavior unless I know what it is.
I’m just sick of reading “sigh” in every damn post and yhwx doing his yhwx thing.
?
What is this yhwx thing you refer to?
My comment on the *sigh*ing situation remains the same as on October 23:
Warb, you don’t have to stop with the *sigh*s. Just don’t overuse them.
I also don’t get why people got worked up over this statement, as I essentially said the same thing dahmage said in the next post in that thread.
He said it better.
And before you start, I’m not willing to even read a post you make highlighting exactly what you said and what he said and what Warbler said. You’re the only one who cares.
Wrong.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
it probably wouldn’t have. although quoting a hundred things is still annoying, it isn’t annoying as quoting a hundred things, with a response to each of those things.
Well if I want to respond to a hundred posts, why shouldn’t I quote them? It avoids confusion as to what I am replying to.
it is a freaking wall. its why frink wall posted in protest.
I thought he did that because of the sighs, not the number of posts quoted.
well, you would have to ask frink. i assume that it is a combination of the two. but frink is being wise and avoiding the forum for a bit right now.
Well he will be back and will read these posts.
I didn’t realize my sighing was annoying everyone so much.
I didn’t (and still don’t, to be honest) think I was sighing any more that I usually do.
On page 498 of this thread, there were 20 matches for a search for "*sigh*. It definitely feels as if the volume of *sigh*s is going up.
One page and one post. Not really much to go on.
- I am just curious, and I don’t ask this to be a jerk, if I just quoted all the posts and just made one sigh instead of on one sigh for each, would it have still set this off?
It would have been better. We would have still have to scroll through a lot of posts, but it would be better. If you really wanted to *sigh*, I think you just should have just made one post with the word *sigh*.
Then people would have been wondering which post or posts I was sighing.
- I sighed nonsense posts. I asked a serious question about why Garland was mentioned, multiple people made jokes and I sighed them. Is this really all that unusual for this place?
No, but the volume of *sigh*s is.
Have I really sighed all that more often in the last month than I usually do?

The Garland conversation was the only discussion happening at that time, so people would have know what you were responding to.
But they would not have known which post or posts I was replying to.

Sometimes you have to ruffle some feathers to make an effective protest. Maybe you kneel during the National Anthem, maybe you post a sighscraper*.
*Wish I had thought of that first.
If only oojason hadn’t said this:
Knock it off please, lads.
Okay? I’m not sure what your point is.
Not to annoy you further, but to answer your question: If oojason hadn’t given his warning, I would have sighed that post.

Finally, I do agree that there are some parts of Warbler’s behavior as of late that do irritate me.
Could you elaborate?

I didn’t know that pic was called a sighscraper. I thought you usually used that pic to complain about posts that were too long.
He meant that for one thread, the Star Trek thread.
Knock it off please, lads.
We were only having a little fun(at least I was).

If Warbler would kindly agree to stop sighing at every single post he doesn’t like, I’ll kindly agree to withdraw the sighing bunny.
Sorry, but you know the “*sigh*” is my thing.
*sigh*
sheesh.
I am just wondering why Garland was mentioned specifically.
because he is hard to mention generally?
*sigh*

are you talking about Judy Garland or Merrick?

see, this is why he needs to be mentioned specifically! (or she)

I thought garlands had no gender?!?!
*sigh*
Man that looks like some dank “garland”… Indica dominant though I’d say.

I’d say those were fighting words if I knew what they meant.
I’m a Jew and we don’t really do garland.

Had nothing to do with garland just a weed joke. Not that it really looks like weed, but you know.

Good speech. This week may convince some people that as Republicans in Congress went to unprecedented lengths to grant Trump as much power to achieve his aims as possible, Jeff Flake, John McCain, and Bob Corker simply would not go along with it. I suspect it won’t convince Merrick Garland, though.
convince Merrick Garland of what?
true, but that was great speech.
So this happened while everyone was off topic about Labyrinth…
Mr. President, I rise today to address a matter that has been much on my mind, at a moment when it seems that our democracy is more defined by our discord and our dysfunction than it is by our values and our principles. Let me begin by noting a somewhat obvious point that these offices that we hold are not ours to hold indefinitely. We are not here simply to mark time. Sustained incumbency is certainly not the point of seeking office. And there are times when we must risk our careers in favor of our principles.
Now is such a time.
It must also be said that I rise today with no small measure of regret. Regret, because of the state of our disunion, regret because of the disrepair and destructiveness of our politics, regret because of the indecency of our discourse, regret because of the coarseness of our leadership, regret for the compromise of our moral authority, and by our — all of our — complicity in this alarming and dangerous state of affairs. It is time for our complicity and our accommodation of the unacceptable to end.
In all fairness, there are Democrats you could put in that pic that were accused of sexual harassment. Bill Clinton for example.
DominicCobb, why did you create this thread?
Bingo, why did you create this thread?
