In other words, you deserve to be "fine".

No. I deserve to be average fully abled individual.

Your sadface emoticon is unappreciated.

The word deserve is right up there with the word should in my book.

I think UT was being sincere, Zath. Classic was saying "fine" wasn't good enough for him anymore, and UT was noting that being fine would be a step up for you. He is sad at your circumstances.

Bruce has seniority. And, I think, tenure.

No, all Cellar members are created equal, just some of us are more obnoxious.

Fine is a subjective term. Also, I guess UT's feelings are understandable. As long as his "sadness" does not turn to pity, I'm "fine" with it.

Like Beestie, for modifying what I posted. BAN HIM/HER/IT!

xoxoxoBruce · 11-28-2015, 09:24 PM

Whoa, my post referred to the one immediately before it, the one about me, and has nothing to do with your interpretations of people responding to yours. Leave me the fuck out of your drama.

Easy there, just trying to add some clarity.

This was a very good thread until it was derailed with whining and the resulting chemical reactions. Most people were trying to be nice, even if they failed. Let's see if we can learn to just let it go from here and make a team effort to rescue this thread. Please?

Classicman learned to love himself a little bit more than he did. Which is good. We should probably all try to do that.

I learned people can be very weird about beer. We probably shouldn't all do that (be very weird about beer)

---------

Today -----just right now, in fact, especially to try and rescue this thread, I went off and learned three new things. I hope you find at least one of them interesting:

Oranges do not actually turn orange unless they are exposed to cold weather, which causes the chlorophyll to move away from the skin. Sometimes oranges grown in hot climates are treated with ethylene gas to break down the chlorophyll and turn the oranges orange to make consumers happy.

There is only one word in the English dictionary containing a double y ("yy"): Sayyid

Peanut M&Ms were created by Forrest Mars -who was allergic to peanuts.

The orange thing is cool.

Agreed. My bad for starting this whole mess.

Let's get back on topic.
