Leave Sarcasm to the brits, eh? We're better at it.

Well, undoubtedly no one saw the irony in the post.  ;D

And I am third generation brit from down in the farms of Devon, so I guess I come by it naturally.

Angels in assless chaps, fever?  I guess those would be the fallen ones, right?

Kind of reminds of a T-Shirt I bought my wife that reads:  "I used to be Snow White, but then I drifted ..."

Great job there smearing some argument nobody cares about into other threads. Surely you are providing a valuable service.

The one person I care about being offended by this statement (Fae) I'm pretty sure would not be.

And if nobody cares why do you?  Unless you're nobody, in which case high five on the Badger thing.

Gwoo, if your wife was Snow White, which dwarf does that make you? 

I'm voting Grumpy...

*grin*

At least I didn't say Dopey!

As a matter of fact, I have a tattoo of Grumpy on my side.  It was intended to look like he was hanging over my belt line like the old "Kilroy was here" drawing from WWII, but it was put a little high as I was too loaded to double check the placement.

At least it used to look like grumpy, but remember copying cartoons onto silly putty and then stretching them?  That's what happens when you put a tattoo on a love handle that will grow in the future...

Why are you trying to bother anybody in the middle of a thread where people are discussing things? If you have a problem with fae, go have that problem in the thread it started in or fae's inbox instead of running around fucking up her threads like you are some kind of goddamn Queen of Annoying Fae.

FOAD.  I like Fae and doubt that statement annoyed her.  I have no problem with her (personally) at all.

If you choose to be offended by my humor, go you, but don't pretend you know what does or doesn't offend her.

Bistro -

Call me crazy, but I'm pretty sure fae's got the balls to defend herself if she feels offended, and she's not shy about speaking her mind, so perhaps it might be a reasonable expectation for you to cool it on being the Queen of Getting Your Panties in a Bunch and Pretending It's About Defending Someone Else for a bit?

If you're hacked on your own behalf, admit that.  There's no shame in owning up to your own thin-skinned offendability.

People might respect you a little more if you admitted you're bothered by something, instead of touting your own 'thick skin' and then getting all high dudgeon on the pretense that someone's statement might offend someone else (who's surely not you, cause you have such a thick skin and could never take offense to anything!), especially when that 'someone else' doesn't seem to have taken offense at all.

And fuck both of you, too. I had no idea this was a joke. It's hardly my fault that I can't tell the difference between just joking petty bullshit and real petty bullshit considering how much petty bullshit goes on everytime there is an argument around here about anything.

So, ladies and gents, Bistromath is accusing us of petty bullshit.

How should we feel?

I am not accusing anyone present of petty bullshit because, as established, the whole thing was a joke in the first place. All I'm saying is that I can't be blamed for sometimes fucking up the differentiation between the two.

Well, there's this sort of crushing feeling of impending irony...

Bistro, perhaps you 'can't be blamed' for fucking up differentiations.  However, the choice to take your fucked-up differentiation into the land of drama whoring it and pretending you were looking out for someone else's tender sensibilities?

Can you be blamed for that decision?

Bistro- check your PMs. I sent you one before. It's not telling-off in tone, so don't worry. I'm just not sure whether you haven't noticed yet. Smile

Mach- Umm...... what?

Johnny- Take it to PMs if you want to carry on, please, dear. Tongue

Badger: The point was not how fae felt, it was that if it was real petty bullshit, it could lead to some stupid argument getting hauled into this thread.

OOPS!

Beldaran: yeah, I know, I got the mail, I'm having trouble with my PMs, though.

I thought it humorously ironic (in the "incorrect" use of the word perhaps) that Fae hated Sinic for being insensitive and rude.

 :Smile

thread hijack:  Sweetie, I don't hate sinic.   I don't hate anyone.  It's a waste of time and effort. I find the attitude that certain members of our community have adopted recently to be rude, insensitive, completely out of line, and mildly offensive.

So I mirrored that back to them.  Perhaps neither effective nor correct, but I can't really speak tothat can I?   And now I have to go back through and read the entire thread so I can contribute.

My friend explained irony to me as this:
