I'm giving up

[...of J.Temperance]

Today. Twice today already I've had people getting on my case and going after me...for NO reason WHATSOEVER.

First, I make a comment about priests teaching Tim Russett his ass-kissing ways...and this was HALF joking...and considering I'm a lapsed Catholic I've got EVERY right to make such a comment in reference to pedophile priests.

Oh, but this was wrong and NO it wasn't priests it was Jack Welch.

Yeah, I know Russett whores for Jack Welch, I'm NOT stupid. I just made an actual half joke that did have correct undertones.

On Edit: The topic of that thread was, that Russett said that a nun taught him NOT to tell lies. So then someone posted "I wonder who taught Russett to ass-kiss so well?"

Yeah NUNS were mentioned...so I mentioned PRIESTS in my response.

Then I'm told that prostitutes are NOT whores. This in response to, when Condi went to Iraq or wherever the fuck it was she went...the mediawhores with her had Government Minders...so I said Mediawhores Government Minders = Pimps.

Then I'm told "whores don't need pimps, prostitutes have pimps."

What the FUCK IS a prostitute huh? A prostitute IS a whore...that's WHY they call brothels WHOREHOUSES.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. If this is how todays going, with little fucking nitpickers getting on my case...then I'm giving up on today...and trying tomorrow instead.

1. those who think they know everything are a real trial to those of who do

seriously, someone tried to tell you that a prostitute and a whore are two different things?

methinks a leg pull was in progress

the nitpickers will always be w. us, indeed, i can't always repress the urge to pick a nit, i wouldn't take it personally tho

[...of J.Temperance]

5. I never know

You know, because when I'm pulling somebody's leg I'll LET them know by putting the sarcasm icon.

I just think too many people take themselves and things too seriously.

Yeah I do many serious posts, but I can also do some humorous posts to lighten things up...I like that mix.

[Jackpine Radical]

14. Personally I never use that sarcasm thingie. It ruins the fun I have

watching the humor Nazis get their undies in a bundle over things I say that are OBVIOUS jokes, ironies, etc. I think the mods are by now used to having dimbulbs alerting on me.

[...of J.Temperance]

21. It's that

We never mean ANY harm by our humor do we? And yet some people seem to get all wound up over it...and in the wrong way.

I'm okay now, now that I've got my hazmat suit on!

[madokie]

50. sometimes you just have to get a mad on and then go on

remember anger voiced is anger defused.
As you go through life you'll find as I have, some things just won't work without a good cussing first. :hi:

[...of J.Temperance]

53. You're

Such a big sweetie :hug:

But then you know that, I've told you MANY times that you are...but what the heck, I just felt like telling you again :hi:

[ClassWarrior]

2. Never Give Up.

(ClassWarrior's personal motto since 11/03/04)

NGU.

[babylonsister]

3. Temperance, Temperance! The ignore button

can be your friend, I'm told. :hug:

[...of J.Temperance]

8. Well

They might actually be okay, I dunno, I've not read their other posts. So, I'm willing to give them a second chance.

But jumping on someone's ass because they posted something light-hearted yet serious...it's just not a good thing.

On Edit: Sorry I needed to give you one of these :hug:

I'm absent-minded sometimes, don't think anything of it :)

[TallahasseeGrannie]

4. OKAY, up there in the third paragraph

I really think you need a comma between "priests" and "it."

Why do you hate America?

[...of J.Temperance]

7. Hey you

:hug:

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

10. Thanksgiving was lots of work

lots of money, but my sister was sober and that was a good thing. The babies are healthy and that is a good thing. My son, a firefighter/medic was posted in our neighbhorhood and the ambulance sat in the driveway when they were between calls and he and his partner were able to eat with us. Of course the neighbors are wondering what the heck happened, but it was a good day.

[...of J.Temperance]

17. Aw

Heck, I'm glad that you and yours had a good day...even if your neighbors thought it might have been a little offbeat with an ambulance in your driveway ;)

[dkofos]

6. Just remember

Some people would bitch, if their balls were caught in a new vice.

[...of J.Temperance]

9. Oh yes

What a FINE motto...can I adopt it? I'll send you the check after Christmas ;)

[dkofos]

18. Yes you may

and words of wisdom should always be free.

Just pass them on

[...of J.Temperance]

22. Shucks

Thanks :)

[Jackpine Radical]

11. I have it on good authority

that there are no new vices.

[upi402]

12. there's never a shortage of people telling you where they think you're

going wrong.

Fight the good fight. Don't give up!

my .02

[catmother]

13. cheer up. i've been picked on to. maybe they had a bad day

yesterday and they've got to take it out on someone.

[leftstreet]

15. YOU SPELLED NITPICKERS WRONG!

Made ya look.
:rofl:

It must be all the food consumption, making people nuts.
Don't give up!

[longship]

16. Please do not dwell on the nitpickers.

There are many, many more DUers who are not of that type.

Consider that extended dialogs like that which occur here at DU will by their nature have conversations over trivia. That's the nature of Net conversation as is the inference of intent and tone without normal inflection of voice. Misunderstandings are therefore common here. It may be best to ignore them and move on to more productive dialogs.

Don't mean to be preachy, just writing down the observations of fellow Net traveller.

[shance]

19. Dont give up Temperance!

I strongly advise making a turkey sandwich instead :)

Thats what the day after Thanksgiving is all about.

mmmhmmm.......

[...of J.Temperance]

20. In response to EVERYONE on this thread, it's okay...I've just put THIS on

This incredibly FETCHING little number should protect me for the REST of today.



Oh heck I LOVE this picture, it's hilarious. I've posted this crazy thing twice before and I NEVER get tired of seeing it because it's so silly...lime green and red boots, yummy.



:rofl:

[Sapphire Blue]

23. Love the outfit... may I borrow it sometime?

:rofl:

[...of J.Temperance]

36. Sure

Just say when and it's your's!

:rofl:

[redwitch]

24. Um, the boots are ORANGE, Jeez are ya colorblind or what?

sorry, couldn't resist. Is that Jesus in that jumpsuit? How bizarre. "Jesus Christ in a jumpsuit" may become my new favorite muttered onder my breath epithet. :-)

[...of J.Temperance]

38. Jesus Christ in a jumpsuit! I like it...let's go NATIONAL with that phrase

We'll really frighten the Fundies.

I've often thought I might be colorblind...I've been thinking this ever since I had my fourteenth car accident at traffic lights :)

[Neocondriac]

27. Please don't give up......

no one has been frog marched to hell yet ! Stick around, someones going to give Cheney a C4 enema sooner or later.

[...of J.Temperance]

39. Okay

I'm ready to face any situation now :)

[tx_dem41]

33. Hubba, hubba!

:)

[...of J.Temperance]

35. Hey

That hazmat suit got ya huh? Is THAT suit sexy or WHAT?

:rofl:

[tx_dem41]

47. Rooooowwwwwrrrrrr!

:)

[...of J.Temperance]

48. LSU...Longhorns

Thanks for the Rooooowwwwwrrrrr! :)

Heck, we had a close one against the Razorbacks *wipes sweat from brow* 19-17...cripes.

I do have a softspot for the Longhorns, and they sure whopped those Aggies :) 40-19!

[tx_dem41]

49. It was waaaaay too close.

Also, the UT-A&M game was closer than you wrote. 40-29.

[...of J.Temperance]

51. Oh heck

My Uncle text me that Longhorns score...silly man! Oh well, they still won.

That LSU score is too scary...I feel that I must award LSU one of these :spank:

[tx_dem41]

52. They deserve it.

They better get a LOT better in the next 7 days, or the Dawgs are going to kill them.

[...of J.Temperance]

55. Yes, oh and I sent my Uncle a text back

And slapped him upside the head for giving me HALF the damn Longhorns score :)

LSU better get with the program...or I'll be slapping them upside the head too!

[hippiechick]

25. I've noticed DU is rather testy today ...

Been jumped on myself a few times, for what I thought were basically objective observations. Maybe turkey flu or cabin fever has set in ?

... Take a break, come back after the weekend.


:hug: :hi:

[Neocondriac]

28. Agreed.......

Trip-toe-phane withdrawl.

[...of J.Temperance]

45. Yes, I don't know what's happened...hopefully this will all clear up next

Week :)

I do have to stick around until tonight, because I've promised a bear a poll.

:hug:

[raysr]

26. What works for me

"Fuck you MF'er"

[Maraya1969]

29. Well It is true that if the foot soldier accompanies the Queen

on her way to the swimming pond BEFORE 9 O'Clock AM then all the crumpets are ruined and the toe dance cannot commence until the King is finished his duties in the Royal Throne. However, if the tulips have already opened and the court magistrate has finished his letter writing then I supposed digging for truffles is in fact, excusable.

[Generator]

30. What about prostitute priests that pimp nuns?

Now THAT's my kind of thread.

[qanda]

31. Every now and then...

You just have to utilize that ignore option. Some people just don't deserve to be heard. Then again, maybe they think the temperance part of your username makes you more likely to take their crap.
:hug: Hang in there!

41. 'Um

I alerted people to your name calling. Just thought I'd let you know.

On Edit: Spelling error.

On Edit Part Deux: I'm going to put you on Ignore. I'm not going to sink to your level and start calling you names. So you can go on Ignore instead.

[driver8]

34. Somebody needs a bong hit!!

:beer: Or a few of these!!

[WilliamPitt]

37. You used too many words in your post

:P

Heard that one twice yesterday.

Your feelings of frustration are why the Lounge was created.

[...of J.Temperance]

42. Heck

What's everything coming to :)

When some people get offended by some humor in GD?

Gosh.

[WilliamPitt]

43. There is no humor in GD

Never has been, never will be. How can you laugh with all the dead babies and abandoned kitties and slaughtered innocents and war profiteering and stolen elections and environmental degradation, and did mention the abandoned kitties?

Like I said, the Lounge.

[...of J.Temperance]

44. Well I try to

Post serious stuff and also post humorous stuff. These things SHOULD be able to co-exist peacefully.

Jaysus, afterall we know that man and fish can co-exist peacefully ;)

54. Aw

What a doll you are :hug:

[Samantha]

56. Just as all politicians get their posteriors kicked in this adversial

arena, so do all political commentators, professional or amateur. It's happened to us all. The question is can you get past it to live and fight and get your ass kicked another day?

(Please note: contributed in the Holiday spirit of being helpful by just another sore ass!)

[TankLV]

57. I've stayed away for the most part.

Was watching movies and cartoons all day.

Much healthier.

[Redstone]

58. If you have nits that you want picked, this is the place.

It can get on your nerves. Best thing to do is take a break. A drink doesn't hurt, either.

Or, may I invite you to the Lounge for a bit of respite?
