I am not sure about this sort of news. I want to be informed about the important stuff, which is often not good news. Pigeons and a teen giving his prize to other people do not have a impact on the faith of the world.

Way to go farther than one step deep...

And no one is stopping you from getting your doom and gloom news...  This is just an attempt at a hiatus from all that doom and gloom that is typically posted in the OTT forums.

I didn't puff my chest out, and I ain't offering grief.

In the other thread I told you what would happen, and you berated me then.
Then, when what I said would come to pass, came to pass, I reminded you that I told you that would happen, you, again, berated me. For some reason, you seem to have a problem with me.
What's your problem?

I think if you reread the thread you are referring to, you will see that my initial response to you, I did not berate you.  Hell, I was downright friendly to you.  You then continued with the doom and gloom.  I acknowledged already you proved your own point.  And then you continue on in this thread with it.  It's like you are following me around trying to pick a fight and then saying I am the one starting it.

It's old.  It's not like you shined any light on anything, RH.  Yeah, people like bad news.  Your "telling me that it would happen" and then stating so over and over and over and over again is not revolutionary.  People have been that way for a long time, champ.

Sue me for trying to have a little fun and bring some good news around here.  Thanks for proving that you just like to piss on things for the sake of pissing on things.  Not only that, you get to prove your point in the process.  2 birds and all.

Well done. 

And seriously, spare me the oversensitive martyr crap.  You've taken far worse around here.  Hey, Micha posted a feel good story.  Go threadcrap on that one, too.

I didn't "continue with the doom and gloom", and you had a saucy mouth with me from the start.
You never acknowledged nothing I said. You immediately smart-mouthed me for even saying such a thing. I was honestly just trying to help. And I didn't tell you "over and over again", and I only reminded you about it once in this thread. I don't care about you having fun, and I ain't trying to "piss on things for the sake of pissing on things". You seem the one being over-sensitive, going off on me simply because what I told you would happen, indeed, happened.
Yeah, I've taken far worse around here, but not for so petty a reason, and not by anyone I did consider my friend.

Really, RH?  What is so saucy about this?

Seriously, wtf is wrong with people?

I think we should try a one week ban on stupid people/bad news in OTT threads.  Just good stuff for one week...  

 
Well, "good" is subjective.
Something I find "good" will inevitably be found "bad" by someone else.

 I'd rather deal with subjective "good" than "subjective" bad for a week, or at least try to.

But what I mean is good-hearted stories that shed humanity in a better light.  So and so rescued so and so from a pack of rabid wolves.  So and so overcame insurmountable odds to achieve such and such.  You know, some good old fashioned positive human interest stories.

I suggested you reread the thread.  I am going to assume that you didn't based upon this.  That looks like a pretty damn civil, respectful, friendly response to me.  I surely don't see any of that "immediate smart-mouth" that you are accusing me of and are all butthurt about.

Then you carried on and I gave you one line that both agreed with you and gave you a playful little jab that you take as "giving you lip."

Someone will invariably take the side of the wolves and argue that they were just hungry and mis-understood, and that we need to be more tolerant of hungry animals.
And someone will take the side of the insurmountable odds and argue in its favor.

Kind of like what you are doing now...  gotcha.

 Anyone that doesn't take themselves too seriously most assuredly would have seen the humor and in the irony of their statement.  A "friend" would have seen the playfulness in my response.  But you chose to take it personal.  Maybe next time I'll make sure to add a smiley face or some other little Care Bear emote so you don't feel so offended or the need to carry on.

You seem the one being over-sensitive, going off on me simply because what I told you would happen, indeed, happened.
Yeah, I've taken far worse around here, but not for so petty a reason, and not by anyone I did consider my friend.

You chose to carry it on into this thread with "I told you so..."  Did you somehow think that I didn't already know that would happen when I posted?  Or that I somehow forgot about what you said in a different thread only an hour or so prior and you just felt some "friendly" need to remind me that you warned me of that impending doom of someone threadcrapping?

Hell, I even gave you the opportunity for a truce in this thread by offering to delete my posts if you deleted yours.

Seriously, bro...  I sincerely don't need someone lecturing me about typical forum attitude and etiquette.  I'd rather see someone practice some.  Maybe take a little advice from good old Martha Washington:
"I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances."

Now freaking lighten up and give it a rest.

I have to admit, though... I'm tempted to report myself for making an "offensive racial statement".  I mean, if you can't say anything bad about anyone, shouldn't Stupid White Men count?

Well, it doesn't really work that way in reality.  But I'm white and I made fun of him so it's ok.  I think that's how it works.  So long as you keep to your own.  You know, all nice and equal and communal like.

Look, I meant no harm. Hell, I like Jharii.
Sorry for the mis-understanding.

It's all good, brother.  I apologize as well and accept that I may have read too far into it.  It wouldn't be the first time.  It probably won't be the last. 



But you do have a saucey mouth. Just saying.

And you just defined anyone here that posts with any amount of frequency, yourself included.

As long as the sauce is castor oil flavor, I don't mind having a saucy mind.
