33. I think there are too many busy-bodies alerting threads

Just my opinion. But I have been on quite a few juries and the alerts have really been quite childish. Heck one person alerted that a picture of Pink Slime shouldn't be used when talking about McDonald's. The picture was from the article that was at the link. Or even this particular one. I love your posts Trumad. But we seem to have a group of people who don't frequent this forum that think when we trash talk it's making fun of them. Why does everyone take everything so personally?? It's not always about you - or anyone. It was a euphemism. It was a post commenting on the message boards and stupid pundits. My God.

Why are they picking on you, man??
