25 Feb 08 - 01:02 PM (#2271959) Subject: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: Little Hawk A. People who've seen what they think are alien space vehicles and want to talk about it and be treated with a modicum of respect! Trust me on this. ;-) B. People who believe in God (however they may define "God") and who dare to say that they do.... C. People who aren't "liberal"... D. Republicans E. People who love Rap music... F. Fans of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. G. People who think the Iraq War was a great idea and must be fought until it is decisively won... H. Communists I. Chimpanzees (who are constantly ridiculed by references to "poop-throwing" and other demeaning stuff like that) J. People who think 911 was an inside job. K. Guest posters. L. Christians. M. Muslims. N. Believers in E.S.P., telepathy, chiropractic, alternative healing of any sort, tealeaf reading, ghosts, psychic healing, etc....etc...etc... Yes, all of the above people (and chimps) find themselves often treated as pariahs on this forum. They are scorned and ridiculed by those "in the know". Their special qualities are not appreciated. Condemnatory assumptions are made about them. They are shut out of the "inner clique", spat upon, sneered at, denigrated, and castigated. They are accused of lacking logic and of not providing any "evidence". They are despised and loathed. If this were a small rural town, they could expect to soon find a mob of people bearing flaming torches gathered on their doorstep. Fortunately, though, it's just the damned Internet. ;-) So the best remedy for those hurt feelings is to take it all with a grain of salt, remind yourself that it really doesn't matter, put a smile on your face, and get on with your day! *(By the way: I belong to only a few of the above listed categories. But I know how the game works around here...much as it does anywhere else where a large number of people gather and yak about stuff.) |

And those other categories you mentioned too. And Scots. Just think, if all of us people who get sooooo offended here just got up and LEFT one day...what would happen to this place? Hmmm? Maybe that's it. We should all threaten a mass walkout. Whaddya think? We could time it for some specific future date just to stretch out the tension to the maximum. Make 'em sweat. |

From: Donuel Its difficult for anyone who is lacking in social graces which results in being not well liked, off putting and when one tries to overcome this handicap with wit which is sadly deficient in being sincere and spontaneous, ones words merely come out as a bunch of mixed metaphors. Is that whats troubling you bunky? well maybe not, but that has been my experience anyway. However if I wear a suit or an expensive ensemble there is no social handicap what so ever. People seem to then enjoy my remarks as if they are the wit of a well to do, wry cad. People do tend to believe the cover of a book or a dinner's presentation over real content and flavor.

From: autolycus is also difficult who arrive late at a thread wanting to post something serious long after seriousness has gone the way of all other seriousnessseseessses. SPOUT It's also difficult who allow themselves to get riled, hurt or annoyed easily. The answer? To be objective about it, see if the poster has a point there, if not, think that it's the poster's problem manifested. Ivor |

26 Feb 08 - 07:10 PM (#2273164) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: John Hardly Mudcat is also difficult for....... ...people who write with the opposite hand. There's an interesting (well, interesting to me, but again, I amuse easily) thing to try... With a full 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper on the table in front of you, take a pencil in each hand and simultaneously write your name with each hand -- but write it forward with your "dominant" hand and backwards with your weak hand. Most people can make a near mirror image of their signature this way -- even if they've never even tried to pick up a writing tool with their weak hand. Just another bit of useless trivia that you can spring on dinner guests when the conversation screeches to a halt. Some people say that they can write upside down. I don't think I could. At least not very fast. I take that back. If I was hanging upside down I could still write. Pretty fast too. I'd have to. With all the blood rushing to my head I wouldn't want to take too long to write. I'd probably write something like, "Can I stop hanging here like this? It's terribly uncomfortable." I seem to be able to wave hello with either hand. Some people say I look more sincere when I wave with my right hand. I've tried to see if there's anything to what they say, but the only way I can check is with a mirror -- and when I do that, I look like I'm waving left-handed. I must say though, I do look sincere. |

28 Feb 08 - 12:24 PM (#2274880) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: autolycus I've only be around a couple of years or so, and felt welcomed and welcome pretty fast. certainly better than a well-known UK newspaper forum, where the first responses were an extraordinary mixture of hostility, suspicion, thinking I was. inter alia, a "sock-puppet", whatever that is. Horrible. Improved loads since, but still not the friendliness here. NB. This is not an insinuating Cancerian attempt at eliciting nice words (which I've already had aplenty) (whatever 'eliciting' means). Ivor |

28 Feb 08 - 12:40 PM (#2274894) Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: Little Hawk Ah...you may be pleased to meet Spaw now, TRUBRIT....but just wait! Eventually the grim realization will set in that you have been lulled into a false sense of security by a master of inane depravity, yes, a man who will stoop to any form of low and unconscionable behaviour in order to slander fine creatures such as Dachshunds...animals which he is not fit to even walk in the shadow of! And not only that, he even says rude things about Winona Ryder!!! Trust me, this is a very, very sick puppy we have here. An idiot of the first water. He should be confined to the East Wing of the NYCFTTS where he cannot do further harm to decent society. |

Are they big enough to cast one. Remember what Mark Twain said about them -- would have been a much more practical dog with another set of legs in the middle?????? (Just teasing -- I am an ex dachshund owner and I love them but we have a bull mastiff -- now she casts a shadow!!!) Don't make many festivals but do love the music..... |
