Just out of curiosity, why, when someone posts something obviously meant to be inflammatory, does everyone oblige by jumping on there and slugging it out?

    That's why I never go hungry - so I'm never cranky!
    (If only it were that easy).

    As I told my boss a couple of months ago (when someone complained about me laughing too loud) - Some people are just miserable and need something to b*tch about. I was happy to oblige them that day!

    P.S., I just ate a bowl full of carbs and fat.

    I try not to post pics of anything inflamed.

    If you're referring to me...I'm not ranting, upset, offended or anything of that nature. Just mildly amused that people can be so easily manipulated. Someone posts something with the specific intention of getting people to start slinging crap at each other and to see how long it takes to get locked, and the lemmings flock to it. It just seems sort of mindless. Maybe I'm just old and tired. I just feel like everyone is entitled to their opinion and if I don't agree with it, it's certainly not worth the effort to get worked up over it. Especially when someone is behind the scenes orchestrating the whole fracas for their own amusement.

    Though I'd like to point out that the one "orchestrating the whole fracas" has missed out on some of the jokes here... You'd likely be much more amused if you didn't assume everyone here was attacking you. Like me, pinnochio. I was referencing a thread that was clearly meant to do just what you were talking about, though you took it as an attack on you, and chose name-calling vs. a light-hearted joke. interesting...

    My apologies. I've been on here too long. People attack at the slightest thing. Comments without quotes to show what they reference, I usually take to be directed at the OP. I wasn't offended or angry. Sorry if I offended you. None intended. I hope it's obvious that I'm just playing around with this.
