It's the $*%$^%$ INTERNET!

[UrsulasShadow 59]

I think that's why people even come to the rants and raves section...on the off-chance they'll get to witness a good, old-fashioned flounce. Heck, even the MODS here will make sure to multi-quote the juicy bits so everyone will have an opportunity to comment on them and up the chance of causing an exceptional flounce. Well-played, Rants & Raves. Well-played indeed.

Hey now! Guilty of multi quoting but not a mod. I did it simply because the one I quoted has a tendency to delete his/her posts and then cry foul that others are abusing him/her. Let the facts speak for themselves.

I don't know why, probably the late hour and the need for sleep, but the cat picture posted a few screens up (flounce flounce) made me think of Toonces the "Driving Cat" ... flounce. You know this cat flounces out to his/her car and flounces on down the road listening to... metal? pop? npr?

Oh my goodness! If YOU don't like a topic, don't reply. Unfollow it, stop reading it. You are in no position to tell people when to post or when to stop. Yeesh!

Oh my goodness! I'd respectfully suggest that if YOU don't like a topic, don't reply. It's really that easy.

Best wishes to you.

It's simple. Stop posting in the thread and it will fall off. Every time someone comes in to wag a cyber finger it bumps the topic up.

I'm cracking up at work! Im practicing my flouncing but im just not prancing nearly as well as i will once i lose the weight. And personally i think this thread should last forever. The smiles and giggles are worth it!!

Someone here just liked a post I made months ago on another thread. Like everything else I've posted here, I'd forgotten what I'd written.

Part of my old post (pasted below) is relevant to this thread's OP and to the upsets that occur from time to time on online forums:

I hope you keep posting authentically and transparently just exactly what you feel / think / are curious about. Besides, nobody's post is ever all they think about a topic or the last thing they will ever think about it.

In many ways, message boards are like a big city where some people grew up, others moved in from smaller towns, and others moved there from different countries. On these boards you find disparate cultures colliding with each other. The most unsophisticated visitors assume that their own personal values and culture are the superior values and cultures and should be reflected by everyone else on the board. They spend a lot of time bitching about how others aren't following their rules, making them more comfortable or meeting their needs.

This is a message board. It's not anything else. And you're not responsible for others' feelings.

IMHO.
