Here's an idea, if you don't like what they post...

Are you saying we shouldn't be a-holes to people on the internet? If we can't be a-holes to strangers, who can we be a-holes to???

Did someone say shiny?

MrDude_1

instead of a-hole, can you say goal-hole?

cal1973

or maybe piehole?

I would, but sadly I am not familiar with my goal-hole. :sad:

on this subject, or maybe even more to the point, is how some folks read emotions and attitudes into posts. Like this one girl posted something the other day and I read it, just for what it said, but several posters read "anger" and "bad attitude" and "condescending" and other negative emotions into it.

So I thought, "did I miss something?" and reread it to see, and I still couldn't find all that emotional stuff anywhere.

What is behind this phenomena? Anybody know?

Some like to post comments that appear innocent but otherwise blatantly reference previous disagreements just to goad others into a new argument so that it will appear to most users, that are unfamiliar with the history, that they are being attacked.

Honestly, I would like to kid back but I am completely serious about this. If people want things to be peaceable, then they should consider discontinuing this type of behavior.

I don't think using a term like "PIEHOLE" is a good idea for dieting and health conscious individuals, perhaps something like "WHOLEGRAINHOLE" would be more supportive...

LOL!!
