I find myself agreeing with Rzkenrage (that seems to be happening a lot lately ;) ).

My SO says that all humor is at someone's expense. There is no joke if there is no target. And yet, most people do enjoy humor and they laugh at jokes. We all have our areas of 'tetchiness', topics that trip our trigger, and obviously we'll find jokes about those topics much less funny than those that don't hit home.

I feel that humor makes the transition to bullying/meaness when it is overdone...goes too far, so to speak. Laughing at someone who has tripped can be funny, but continuing to make fun of them, imitate them, telling everyone you meet about their mishap, bringing it up whenever you see them...is NOT funny. This humor has crossed the line into maliciousness.

I am constantly reminding my son (18) not to take his humor too far. He is hilarious but he doesn't know when to stop. He doesn't recognize when his joke has become hurtful or painful to witness. I'm sure this is partly due to his lack of maturity.

Blah blah blah..so anyway, I don't get the feeling that LJ is a bully or mean. I've not been around all that long, but what I have seen, he is someone who isn't afraid to cut through the BS or speak his mind.

RE:why would you be afraid of me?

No I am not afraid of you. I just don't want to fight. Do I not want to say what I really want to say for worry of being called a name? yes.

Do you call any of the guys names?? I don't recall.

RE: exposing unknown truths as a form of bullying.

I said
I am refering to the co 2 poisoning and someother things Mari has said that you all have been trying to debunk. I know you are not alone in that thinking so excuse me for singling you out when others are just as quilty. As you say you can be meaner about it. Your word is respected so you can bring a persons character down on a message board if you want. You carry alot of weight so you should be more careful how you approach a matter? The difference between having tact and not?


Believe me I can be tactless but I am learning I think. Certain kinds of dry sacrasim which might be funny in real life dosn't translate in print so well. I can empathize but I would never single one person out for name calling and story telling in an effort to make them look like a lier even if they were.

@ Clod.....Your story cracked me up! :lol2:

actually, i was referring to this part:

i'm missing the leap from a to b

did you write that, or was it clipped from one of your links? (sorry, i'm a shit about following links)

LJ, stop bullying Sky;)

LJ is just farking funny!

You cannot make another person feel anything, we choose our reactions.

i think you missed the point some of the guys have made. A) we kind of like the prick. er, i mean guy. B) if he's a bully, he's not bad enough for me to notice or care.

every last cellarite has said something i find annoying or outrageous at some point (well, maybe not tw.) but i choose to ignore the stuff that is annoying to me and pay attention to what interests me.

google : slander,libel, defamation, bully, psychological abuse,intimidation and see if you do any of those? Look for facts instead of peoples feelings?

It's mine and others perception that you are a shit stirrer. You lie or at least eggagerate the offenses of those you are attacking. See above.


I was looking up slander and libel. To understand why some of us call you a bully that would be the reason but since you don't want to change I doubt you will understand and frankly I just don't care any more. You are tiresome.

I am wondering why you posted in different colors the same as anonymous did. Is anonymous you? It must be I got two people posting in coded color for me which I find wierd. I pm anonymous and ask who they are and they say they are 'batman' wtf???? :confused: Must be you jumberjim.

This is my last post to you.

jingle bells batman smells robin layed an eggagerate

Thanks. I agree with your addition.
I usually feel like most of my contributions are just ignored.

no, not me. i didnt send any pm's with the anon login. the colors i used were to point out 2 different points in the post, with out having to chop it all up.

i did see your reply when i changed the user title from 'online bully' to 'obvious'. i assumed it was she who is no longer here.

you seem like you're too angry to bother giving an objective answer. well, whatever. maybe you're just not all that nice. thanks for playing

lol :)

and yet, this smacks of flint

I'm not mad at you Lumberjim. Your being qute decent since I asked you to. Thanks.:comfort:
