I don't think they've got the picture yet. And it doesn't seem they will get it before Thanksgiving is over. The holidays do tend to buffet some to and fro'. Who are you talking about as being on holiday? Aren't you and Reefs on holiday season?!

Mockery is damaging to an image, and if an individual declares themselves to be personally identified, sensitive to such content, and refrains from it, then of course that individual should be shielded from disparagement to some extent. Andy, Lolly, essentially, unless you want to identify yourselves as such, I view mocking directed at you as actually in the interests of everyone else. This is the final one, which predictably follow the blame stage... where the mockery becomes helpful. The end. Helpful yes, but not in terms of the way you've meant it. It's not to help the mockee, and I've never claimed that it would. Helpful just in that it cuts through the bullsh!t.

It has the potential, anyway......even if it takes a month of Sundays, ain't that right, Sheriff? *shrug*

Unlikely that those words would, but intent behind words also counts. You don't understand the words, how could you point to any intent? That's pure imagination. You are missing the point. Do pixels on screen directly harm you physically or do interpretations of pixels on screen harm you physically? It's Sharon's cat laserrays!

Do pixels on screen directly harm you physically or do interpretations of pixels on screen harm you physically? Intent can come through even without words being precisely understood. I am sometimes aware even in my sleep what kind of energy is being put out and onto the forum. I would not deny that I am 'sensitive', hence why if the forum was set up differently, it is possible that I would put in a request. Pixels don't hurt, but mocking can do. The idea of 'mocking' already assumes that words have been understood/interpreted.

This is an excellent demonstration of the usefulness of mocking by the way.
The conversation devolved into nearly pure trolling a few pages back.
Mockery is a great way to either end or reset a conversation.
Deal with it ... if you choose to read the words you have to take responsibility for the meaning you make of them.
Grow. The. F#ck. Up.
