Best way to tell other board members to take life a little less seriously

[Paragon]

1. offer cocktails

so refreshing.

[Angelus]

2. All of the above.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Paragon...like a paragon of understanding?

par·a·gon ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-gn, -gn)
n.
A model of excellence or perfection of a kind; a peerless example: a paragon of virtue.

[Paragon]

6. Exactly.

I understand that you are going on and on about fairly normal human interactions for some kind of overzealous feminist powergrab.

If we find the notion of the government telling gay people how to conduct themselves disgusting, straight people should be afforded the same respect.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

8. Clue: We Are Not the Government

We are supposed to be a progressive group of individuals who respect the concerns of significant proportions of our communities.

DTH

[Angelus]

10. Psst...

A significant proportion of our communities don't take offense to the word "chick". ;)

[DoveTurnedHawk]

12. But a Significant Proportion Does

You don't need to have unanimity within a community in order to show some consideration and sensitivity to that community.

Instead, we get supposed progressives insisting, "No one is going to curtail MY freedom of speech goddamnit, because I am an INDIVIDUAL and it's all about ME!"

:eyes:

DTH

[Misunderestimator]

15. Well said! And that sums it up in a nutshell n/t

[Paragon]

11. Thank goodness progressives don't have a reputation for obsessing...

Otherwise I might not take ridiculously overzealous feminists and/or Wes Clark supporters seriously. ;-)

[DoveTurnedHawk]

13. This Clark Supporter Got Over Clark's Loss a LONG Time Ago

Instead of complaining about Clark supporters, maybe you should just get over trying to bait them?

DTH

[Paragon]

16. Here's an option you have with insensitive men and non-Clarkies

Ignore them.

You won't get riled up and neither will they -- and best of all, you're actually treating your fellow humans as equals instead of talking down to them all the time.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

18. You Have the Same Option, Sparky

Funny, I don't see you employing it. And I find the idea of you, of all people, criticizing anyone else for not treating other posters as equals to be simply hilarious.

DTH

[Paragon]

22. I didn't go butting into a thread and asserting myself...

...a la the "John Edwards' daughter" thing.

Sorry, when I get poked, I poke back. Especially when people get the false impression that I'm some kind of chauvinist monster from a few overzealous nuts.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

23. Wow, You're Such a Tough Guy

Such an individual. No one is going to tell you what to do. Such machismo!

:eyes:

DTH

[Paragon]

25. Now you're getting it.

The Democratic Party needs more "tough guys" like myself.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[DoveTurnedHawk]

26. Whatever (eom)

DTH

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

20. Pot meet kettle

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. bye

thank god all progressives don't sit there with their fucking fingers in their ears going LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.....I CAN BE AS NASTY AS I WANNA BE JUST LIKE LIMBAUGH

[Paragon]

24. Pot meet kettle

:D

[Misunderestimator]

14. LMAO... overzealous feminist powergrab

Uh.... what power?

And how does the gay/straight thing play here? This is a male/female thing.

[Angelus]

17. The power to control...

what people can/can't say and what's right/wrong.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

21. It's About Self-Control

So sad that some here are unable to exercise any of it.

DTH

[TA]

4. Actually it's get an F'n clue

If you don't wake up and and get that frigging asshole out of office.... Is it noon yet? I need a drink. What the hell, I'll get one anyway. Shutup, get that damn dog off the couch....

[Bunny]

5. Continue to act like an ass?

I'm just sayin...

[Paragon]

7. I agree totally.

They really need to stop. :D

[testing123]

9. Vanity threads

That was the word I was trying to think of.

Threads that give someone a feeling of security.

Tell them to get a life!

Thanks for posting this thread I enjoy reading your messages.

:)

[sus]

27. well, i can't stand ANY of you people. so can you deal with THAT?!

are we just supposed to go through life exchanging pleasantries?

fuck THAT noise.

[DrWeird]

28. I don't know.

Tell them they're acting more like Comstock then Sanger?

That should lighten the mood.

[Kenneth ken]

29. with smiley icons of course! n/t

30. I'm locking this thread

as a continuation of the "sex wars"
