No, thank you very little.

I will not be sucked into an eCircle.
I strive to avoid eMail.
I hate Instant Messengers...ICQ, AOL, SOL, MSN, PMS, or otherwise.
I think PayPal is the work of WotC to absorb our Andy Jacksons.
I believe Macromedia Flash contains subliminal messages.
I know Magic cards have addictive contaminants in the glue.
I do not use any service with "my" in it's name...be it mySimon, myAltaVista, myAOL, myYahoo!, mySoulStealer, or myCPA.

...you make me laugh so hard Hetemti!
That is some funny crap man, so funny...

 

[Gizmo]

Hetemti, are you sure you`re not a member of Savage Garden? - sounds awfully like 'Affirmation' to me.

 

[Gizmo]

BTW, Duke.
Do you think putting a smiley in place of a full stop makes it alright to insult people?

 

[Hetemti]

Savage Garden?!?

Ugh...

I

Can't

Stand

...them...

..."here comes the chopper"

...a vegetable chopper, but a chopper no less.

 

[DÛke]

...could you please make your vague question a bit more clear?

 

[TomB]

What part of it didn't you get?

 

[DÛke]

I don't understand.
Let's see:

Do you think putting a smiley in place of a full stop makes it alright to insult people?

I don't understand the "do", the "you", the "think", the "putting", the "a", the "smiley, the "in", the "place", the "of", the "a", the "full", the "stop", the "makes", the "it", the "alright", the "to, the "insult, and finally, the "people".

Nope, I don't understand it, but I will assume that he's talking about what I said to Hetemti, and if that's what's he's(Gizmo) is talking about, then, I wasn't insulting Hetemti, not really. I thought it was pretty clear what I said: that he makes me laugh; that he's funny; or is that an insult according the Bill or Rights? I don't know, you tell me TomB, since you're all that...

If Gizmo is not talking about Hetemti, than I seriously have no idea what he's talking about.

[Gizmo]

Well your post could be translated as:

You`re laughable, Hetemti.
You talk crap.

 

[Darsh]

It can? I really don't see how you got this.

You`re laughable, Hetemti.
You talk crap.

From this.

...you make me laugh so hard Hetemti!
That is some funny crap man, so funny...

I think you are just being too cynical.

 

[Apollo]

Actually, DUke, "crap" generally is used to mean something bad or dumb. Therefore, "that is some funny crap, man, so funny" could mean that what he said was dumb, and it was so dumb it was funny to you.

And from there you can figure that "...you make me laugh so hard Hetemti!" means that everything he says is so dumb it makes you laugh.

So yes, I'd say it's pretty obvious why he thought you meant:

"You`re laughable, Hetemti.
You talk crap."

I can't believe you can't see how that is insulting.

 

[Gizmo]

This is why you think people hate you for no reason, probably Duke. It`s because every single post you do is really ambiguous and sounds like you could be insulting them, or that you could just have poor social skills and don`t know what you are saying.
A lot of your posts make people angry because of the way they can be taken two ways.

 

[Landkiller]

Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't Hetemti's post meant to be a joke, because of it's exaggerations? So the obvious reason for Duke's response would be a simple "that is funny", right? It seems to me that you read too deeply into it.

 

[DÛke]

I only meant it in a nice way, that's all.

 

[Apollo]

It's okay, man. Just be careful how you choose your words; some things can be interpreted in different ways.

 

[DÛke]

It's okay, man. Just be careful how you choose your words; some things can be interpreted in different ways.

...Yes, I know. Only if you look too deep into them though...

 

[Spiderman]

I didn't think DUke's post was insulting. I couldn't tell if Hetemti's post was being serious or sarcastic, but I thought it was slightly amusing too.

 

[DÛke]

...is actually defending ME. Thanks a lot Spiderman, you're of a great support.
