Did You Get in Trouble... or Was It Just Me?

sigh. didn't see that particular post, but i get swatted by the bipolar mod system at fairly regular intervals for being sarcastic.
which i am.
but really. some people BEG for it.
:/ khairete
S.

sometimes it's best to not uses sarcasm when typing something. Readers can't hear the tone of a voice over the internet.

The interpretation of flaming varies a little from moderator to moderator but these days you're not suppose to point out obvious inabilities to communicate.
If someone can't put two cognitive thoughts together in a posting, just leave it go - it's extremely self evident.

I'm rather fond of Shakespearean insults myself.
Half the time people don't know they've been insulted till they look it up and I honestly think the merest contact with any form of dictionary has just GOT to be a help on some level.

I include these for fun to look at, not that anyone should actually use the quotes from these on this site:

Perhaps the site should change it's name to 'Parentpedia' so people don't get their panties in a bunch over the gender of who participates.

That's IT. The whole lot of ya are grounded for two weeks! I just can't turn my back for one SECOND, can I?

Buncha damn meanypants!

;(

Oh Geez... there are too many sensitive egos on here. Some people need major chill pills.....

I've never seen a response you have written and thought it was flaming.

I also enjoy your sarcasm at times. People need to lighten up.

I got in trouble last week for a flaming answer - it was to a troll so whatever!!! She had mentioned how she is 30 and never had sex and then said something about what she can do about her 13 year old son........so, to the sex question I said, go ask your son!!! I appreciate sarcasm - I won't report you!

Dang. I missed it. Sarcasm is an artform that I totally appreciate.

Oh no! Are you the reason that question got pulled! :)

So far, it's pretty damn boring. There is literally no one at work, so I have nothing to do. I have a stack of stuff that needs to get done, but my partner is out this week and I've already done "my half". So, this is keeping me pretty entertained to day!

We're taking our 4 yr old to a minor league game next month. You would think that we had Yankees tickets the way he talks about it! Have a great time!

booo are you the reason that question got pulled...i was enjoying that argument=) was it the group home judgey mom question?

what was your response?

Ooooh J.!!! I LOVE your sense of humor, sarcasm and what you bring to the table!!!

I have NEVER reported you!!! I don't think I would either!!

I didn't see the scoliosis post. sorry!!

One kid is off to cub scout camp. The other is off mountain biking....I have a boat load of things to list on ebay as well as an explosion of STUFF in the family room (having two extra kids over!!) and now taking a break...

oh yeah...waiting to hear back from the Collision place who had my van for 27 days and there are STILL problems with it....paint not matched, gauges in the mud flap...scratches from the sideswipe....yea...27 days...what did you do my car in that timeframe???

I like your answers. I got a notice I was being rude from the PTB too one time. The woman was being mean to her hubby and I told her I would leave her too if she talked to me the way she said she talked to him....they pulled my answer and sent me a notice.

Oh well, we put ourselves out here on this page and if we don't like what we hear then we need to just skip over that answer or question and move on.

Awe, J., that was mean.

Some people dont have the advantages of others and there is no need to point out the obvious. Not very productive in my opinion.

Yeah, I agree, you will hear lots of opinions that you dont always agree with, but sometimes I wish people would keep it relevant, ya know?

Also, it would be great if some people didnt make everyones post about them and what they are going through, really, we all have our issues, now lets try to help each other.

AND, correct me if I am wrong, but if I do recall the question, she was asking about help for her disability and possible assistance so she could go to school.
Nope, I didnt see your response, so I wasnt the one who reported, but I was really hoping someone could give her good advice and keep it a little less highschool-ish.

Keep chiming in!
So far so good!

I love your responses. I find you to be honest and witty! I definitely didn't report that, I actually giggled when I read it! The post was horrible - she was simply looking for a handout...she should get in line!

Tonight my hubby and I start counseling and I'm excited. We've been dealing with some issues for a while right now and while we love each other, we really need to fix them. So I know counseling is hard, but I really think we can fix the issues and move on to bigger and better things :).

It's all good. I'm with TF Plano/Allen. Chill, peeps.

I got in trouble for "flaming" once ... called them on it asked them to explain their descision. Once they looked at it again they could not explain it to me, called it an error and moved on. Have you inquired further on the issue? My Monday is okay so far, more or less what I expected.

It seems good so far, don't know yet.

If you stop answering, whom will I ditto?

I personally love your questions and comments :) Some people take things way too seriously!

What question are you referring to?
Not a clue.

My Monday is a typical Monday......bleccch.

i like your answers. :) i am having a good monday, attempting to work but on this site instead. have a great week

Darn, I miss all the good stuff! I'm only on during the weekdays so I miss all the weekend drama. Right now I'm working my way back thru the questions so maybe I'll see it. Otherwise, we went to my daughters orientation for JR High so now I'm behind in my work but I'm on MP instead. LOL! Typical Monday. =)

Which comments?

So far so good--spent a nice morning at the park, sweat buckets while playing/socializing with 5 other lovely moms from my son's pre-school, fed the boys and they ALL loved lunch and gobbled it up, and am about to put them down for naps. Today has been a GREAT Monday!

Odd-I always appreciate sarcasm! and no sense tip-toeing around and issue. I am having a pretty good Monday-thank you!

Melissa L. your post made me giggle. <3

Sarcasm in writing/typing is practically useless without "setting the tone". I think I'm hearing here that the "flaming" remark was out-of-line.

I often find that the same word means different things to different people. So, don't stop posting. ;)

Lol, you didn't get the memo stating that this site now has grammar-police police?

Have fun at the baseball game! Personally, I have no use for MLB, but I've been to minor league games and enjoyed them. I like the low-key atmosphere and the silly games. :-)

As to the Monday question? Well . . . it's Monday. The main reason I know that (being a SAHM with an unemployed DH) is that DD had to get up for summer school >.<
