Can't a man post a decent, well-thought out opinion about something in GD
Edited on Thu May-05-05 05:54 PM by SmileyBoy
without getting insulted by somebody??

I just offered an well-intentioned initiative for discussion in GD about a topic that I think might be important, and some loser with 246 posts comes in and starts accusing me of things which I am not. Fuck, I even put in the subject line "(Not meant as a flamewar)".

Fer chrissakes, some people SUCK!!!

1. No. But a woman can.
Just so you know.

2. I only saw a couple posts that were rude including one you
should hit the alert on. Other than that a couple people posted long thoughtful posts back to you and a few of us challenged your reasoning, and well-thoughtedoutness by pointing out that the gallery hosts an insufficient number of pics for you to draw any actual conclusion from regarding DU demographics.

4. I understand that most of them were very good responses.
But I didn't think that I would get a couple insults too.

3. No, and it is even worse in GD-politics
some people over there can't disagree without being disagreeable.

5. Ah, you're just an over-sensitive fucktard who wouldn't know

good ice cream if it came up and bit your ass.

If you can't handle it with the big dogs, then it's time to cut the ropes and dive off the short pier.

What is this, amateur night?

What a stupid post.

:-)

Does that make you feel better? :P

p.s. - love the family guy quote in your sig line!

7. Insults are the sincerest form of flattery--enjoy them!
Everyone reading the posts knows whether the insults are earned or not. Don't worry about it. The more insults, the higher the post count, and the more people will check out your thoughts for themselves.

9. That thread was pretty interesting!
I'm glad you got the balls to post it. You should post more controversial threads more often.

:hi:
