Ya know, if you dislike a certain activity, there's no reason to crap on those that do.

Edited on Thu Jun-12-08 04:59 PM by GOPisEvil
Seriously, if you see a thread about something you dislike, and you click into that thread and see that people who enjoy that particular thing are talking about it. Do not come into the thread and post disparaging remarks and indicate that you dislike that activity or thing. Just please click the back button on your browser and go elsewhere. Why people feel the need to shit on the happiness of others I will never know.

Because, there's probably something that you like which sucks as well.

If you like spinach, rock on. :) I like it myself.

What are we supposed to do then?

I mean, unless you've got good medical records on someone, you don't KNOW where their organs have been. It's not honest to sell something like that without warning the consumer first.

a couple of years ago when i was in London i watched the masters, commercial free on the Bbc, that was cool. One of the commentators said something about Jose Maria Olazabal and the other guy said "That Spaniard!!!!" like it was an accusation, seriously funny shit.

45. Well...that was sort of the last shove over the edge.
I have made this particular plea on numerous occasions. DU is imminently predictable, and the "stop shitting on other people's happiness" rant from me comes out every 12-18 months or so.

I really didn't want to call anyone out personally though, because it is a common occurrence here.

I try not to be cruel, but that is about the extent of my consideration of others' feelings and interests.

Of course, I expect the same emotional distance from myself when my threads call the shitters.
