i'm not the one who found it offensive, that's the only reason i said anything about it.
I was saying that other people might not understand that he was joking, and it could have been offensive to Mermaidah
There's the keyword! "might" nobody may find it offensive at all, but you just started something useless anyway!!
Mermaidah can take care of herself. That's """"IF"""" she even found it offensive!
It's obvious he was joking!! dont you see the smiley!?!
I've never seen anyone offend someone using a bold statement like that, then adding the " ; ) " smily!
.........
I didn't hear you laughing, or anyone else for that matter
exactly!! because i didn't find it funny at all. I KNOW that it's a joke, but i dont find it funny. his intentions are clear enough with that smiley. Please note the difference between a dumb/useless joke and an offensive post that isn't a joke.
In other situations, when he acts like a prik rubbing things in our face subliminaly, i'd answer back, or just ignore him on the grounds that he's isn't even worth the time. I dont respect him at all from readying all his posts that are obvious to me and everyone else that he's sucking up to nick. That's why i started this whole "ass-kissing" thing. Many of you caught along and agreed with me, so he's called that by many people now.
dumb jokes are very different from his weasely ass-kissing techniques (intended to gain more power/selfesteem to rub in more stuff against us) . the former is pure, but may get on ur nerves, while the latter isn't pure. so if you make these rude replays to the former-type posts of his, then you're just being a prick urself being overcritical of his pure-hearted posts.
always judge by the intention, not by the material.
That's why i didn't reply to you for saying something stupid and useless to Deej. You called him a "fag." I, and i'm sure deej, know that you didn't meant it literaly, so there's no need to nit-pick on something unintentional.
Also, calling someone a "fag" may be extremely offensive to homosexuals, but i dont represent them, so there's no use for me to peck at you for saying it. it's just another stupid post that'll be ignored!!
