These boards would be a lot more pleasant with a truce.

But, that's just me, and I might just be "special" in the head.

You certainly are special Maggie

Actually, I do what Torilammy described. I only submit about 50% of the posts I actually type. I type it out and then hit the back button. That way I get the satisfaction of telling someone off and I still get to post on the DIS.

I guess the idea of frustrating aggressive people seems like all <i>kinds</i> of fun to me. But look what's happened -- the whole idea's passe in the course of a few hours.....I'll have to find something else to amuse myself!

Darn, now I need to print your post so I can check the number of m's attached to the h to make sure I'm not being insulted...just another thing to hang on the monitor. Thanks a lot

I'm not counting m's-too hard to keep track of!!! I'd have to
have a chart taped to my laptop. LOL
So-don't be counting my m's now y'all.

I would like to say that I think insulting someone's opinion
is just the same as insulting them. It's the way I play and
it's the way I interpret things. IMHO, there is NO difference.
So-if I insult your stated opinion, you have been insulted.
I'm trying not to do that these days. I'm thanking everyone
for their post or their opinion. I know all of you well enough
now-liberals and conservatives-that I could write your posts.
Unless anyone comes up with something new-they are all
hmmmmmmmmmm interesting or posted opinions to be
acknowledged. Again, don't count the m's as I am not
following the post suggesting we use m's as statements.
I'm not that smart. I think it's an ok idea, I just
can't do it.

Bah you Americans and your petty jealousy over one candidate or the other HAHAHAHAHA. I would be more worried about the people counting the ballots or the company creating them I am sure there is a more simplified way of doing it. Up here we have boxes beside the names and you put an X in it really simple no punch cards etc your polling companies should try and adopt this type of ballott it would make life easier for everyone. HAHAHAHAHA man I would hate to be someone counting all those ballotts.

I simply smile a little smile and say:

"I never did mind about the little things."

Okay now I need a score card....I thought Aunt Polly the OP was Kerry voter. Geez, it's hard to keep the opposition straight around here

Or do we want them to be pleasant? I'm guilty. I've given some pretty snotty retorts to anti-Kerry statements that I thought were uncalled for. And I've enjoyed it !!

Marcie's list, a list of Kerry Voters, a list of Bush Voters, schedule of NASCAR races, a list of folks who don't give a darn - computer monitor is covered with post-its.

You know the funny thing? I'm really kind of amazed anyone listened to me about this -- no one ever listens to me! . When I saw the "uhmmmm interestings" and "you're specials" I frankly got a little freaked out!

Oh, it's not off -- I'll be doing it! But I have to admit, I'll be doing it more to amuse myself than as an advocate for board harmony. I really do want to stop reacting to the jerks -- that's what they want.

So join me in wishing everyone a "special and really neat night"!

Really what? Really I'm a fraud or really no one listens to me?

I still think it's a good idea -- I was just freaked out when people were using it in ordinary conversations!!!!

 

[disney4us2002]

Apparently I've been left out of the pm rounds. Someone please send me some lists. Torilammy can send me her lists of Kerry and Bush supporters for my monitor and then auntpolly can cross-reference those lists with her 'jerks' list so I know just who it is I'm supposed to respond this way too.

After all, I must not have an IQ over 2 digits since I'm voting for Bush.

I think your IQ is high enough to recognize a jerk when you see one. That's a person who say something just plain nasty and insulting when everybody else is just trying to have a decent conversation. They come in Democrats and Republicans, but they stand out in a crowd. You don't need me to PM you with a list!
