Right back atcha, baby.

AdminiScott is apparently adversely affected by the lack of air at the height of the horse he's got up on: When the hell did you develop such a thin skin? It's not so much about skin as about my thin stomach lining. I find vomit so yucky that I almost do it, just from people talking about it. But, more to the point, when I see that people are actively trying to offend me(), then I feel* offended by that attempt in itself. Calling stuff that's disgusting to me "disgusting" is somehow a personal affront to you?" Yeah, right, so you might say that "I find that disgusting"... But the phrase "Excuse me while I go vomit" -- as opposed to "I find that disgusting" -- isn't intended as a supercilious put-down at all, right? Bullshit. Pull the other one, while you're at it. You're the one making it personal when you start calling someone a "silly vego-person". Oh yeah? And what if it is my sincere OPINION that vegetarians are following a stupid diet, and at least to that extent ARE BEING silly? Oh, so everyone is allowed to have -- and express -- an "opinion"... EXCEPT me?!? Piss off. It's my opinion, feel free to ignore it, chump. Yeah, well, and it was my opinion that the bio-babe was being offensive to me, first... But THAT opinion doesn't count, eh? Then why the fuck should you be allowed to have yours, if I can't have mine??? And take your vitriolic bullshit to the flame quarantine, would you? SHE spewed HERS here, didn't she? And so did YOU, didn't you? So why the fuck didn't YOU redirect your part of the thread there, if that's where you think it belongs??? Sheesh. Indeed. To such double-standard hypocrisy, I can't find anything better to say either. (): Or, as in this case, just generally trying to be offensive, whether they know at the time that I will be among the targets or not. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Though she had a pretty good idea that Andrew wasn't going to offend easily (indeed it seemed that Andrew was taking pleasure out of trying to gross her out). And the world complains that Americans think that the world revolves around them!

Post #197,620 by CRConrad 3/8/05 9:58:16 AM Reply	Yup; I'm part of the group she was implicitly adressing. Like, "You eat potatoes? Yuuuck, excuse me while I go projectile-vomit!!!" isn't directed at -- insulting to -- anyone who eats potatoes? And WTF do you mean, I wasn't "part of the conversation"? I hadn't said anything up until my first post, but do you think the bio-chick and the Gryge were having a private conversation??? (YTF wouldn't they have taken it to e-mail, in that case?) It's a fucking public conversation, like they all are here. No, I don't particularly think that "the world revolves around me"... On the contrary, if you want to make this about Americans and others, I was just "collateral damage" -- and as usual, the bloody Yanks can't even see that they're firing at just about everybody, even though we're standing up and shouting "Oi! Look where you're aiming that thing!" So, OK, you're right: Bloody typical, in that respect. [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

She was expressing the fact that she didn't like head cheese. It is perfectly OK for her to not like head cheese. Just like it is OK for you to be unable to stomach fresh salad. She didn't say that meat eaters are gross and shouldn't participate in a cooking forum. No offence was intended, and none should be taken. Particularly by bystanders who she didn't even know where present, let alone have any intention of addressing. To follow up on your analogy, you've mistaken a sour raspberry for gunshots directed at your head. And opened return fire. Then you wonder why everyone thinks that you're overreacting. In particular you not only indicated a negative impression of vegetarian food, but you told her that she shouldn't be in this forum. It is OK for you to dislike vegetarian food. (Though by your standards for you to say that insults everyone present who is vegetarian, and you shouldn't be doing it. For the record I happen to know that there are other vegetarians present, though I don't really want to drag them into it by naming names.) But it is not OK for you to arbitrarily start telling other people where they may or may not post. Who made you God around here? While she didn't intend to offend (and I believe that you clearly shouldn't be taking offence), you clearly did intend to offend. Were I in your shoes, I'd be apologizing about now. Unfortunately your understanding of basic courtesy is so lacking that this option is unlikely to occur to you. But at least I'd hope that you could develop the common sense to realize that you're not exactly making friends right now, perhaps this is a good time to cease and desist.
