This just proves we never know who we are going to offend when we make a blanket statement about, "all people that do this or that.....are dumbass pitiful what-nots".

I was surprised at Sundae's comments. That's all. I possibly was too harsh, but still don't have a good answer for why Sundae would paint people with the same brush, as when this type of attitude happens to her, I am sure she does not like it either. No one does.

It's no surprise that I can be just as moody as everyone else. I have a particular knee-jerk reaction when people go with the "all people this or that" statements. It bothers me. It's dogmatic for all the wrong reasons, and I thought it was rather harsh for Sundae to go off on someone when they finally wanted to start a discussion topic in a civilized manner, and join the rest of the board. I think whip was being abnormally civil and was called a nut-job immediately.

I just don't think that was fair. Maybe he is a nut job. But as it pertains to this thread, I think he was being democratic for once and people chose to knock the piss out of him. And when he chose to discuss his views and did not rail back, he was called more names. Screw that. Now that pisses me off again. Now that I do have time to read back through the thread.

Maybe I was busy with my own motive and agenda: to be kind to someone I rarely see outside of one thread, and tried to be welcoming, as I noticed that person making an effort (whip) which I thought was a positive change in this persons character,only to usurped by all the reasons that person shouldn't be a part of the rest of this board.

Harsh? I think Sundae was super harsh, and maybe there is a background with whip she has, and maybe not. In either case, I don't think that was fair at all, and I was definitely irritated by that and am mildly so now.

Was I supposed to call him a crazy fucktard too? Sorry, I didn't get the memo.

Let's just go with a different thread title next time. Something more appropriate like "your chance to beat the whip".

To be fair: I apologize if I was too bitchy Sundae. I likes the Sundae... But you are also going to have to be responsible for your own actions. Just not sure why you would attack someone immediately that was trying to have a discussion in a civilized manner.

So that is all, and no I wasn't paying attention to this thread for awhile. Carry on! Attack whip all you want. I am over it.
