EL the Famous Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I wouldn't object to seeing a thread like this one locked. I came on here and posted a perfectly nice wedding picture of my wife and me, and some asshole who's never even talked to me or my wife feels compelled to ask whether it's a wedding picture or my wife's 15-year-old birthday celebration. Am I supposed to take that as a compliment? I'd like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor, and even if someone posted "Hey, your wife's hot" or "Nice catch, dude," I wouldn't care. I can take an occasional inappropriate comment. But what the fuck was that? Asking whether I've committing statutory rape? Is that supposed to be a really funny joke? My wife and I both look young. If someone doesn't like that, it's their fucking problem, but that was just way over the line.I don't know that poster, and I don't want to know him/her/it. I don't want to give him/her/it any power, but I have to admit, the more I thought about it, the more that ignorant post bothered me. I finally realized that the best thing for me is to keep VC as impersonal as possible from now on. I can put up with a lot of shit, but some little cretin insulting me and my wife, even via a message board, I won't put up with that. People can bust my ass all they want, but if you insult my wife, I'll knock your ass out. So I've pulled those posts and changed my avatar. I don't want anyone having a chance to make any comments about my wife. not that it'll probably help...but I can venture a guess you may have taken him wayyyyy to literally. jeff (imdwithoutanytactwhatsoever) is usually completely inappropriate, but i'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to insult you or your wife in any way, shape or form.

Synthesizer Patel Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 not that it'll probably help...but I can venture a guess you may have taken him wayyyyy to literally. jeff (imdwithoutanytactwhatsoever) is usually completely inappropriate, but i'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to insult you or your wife in any way, shape or form. Yeah, I don't think he meant to offend him in any way either. I didn't understand the joke myself, but if he was implying she looked young then I'd have taken it as a compliment myself, rather than start worrying about whether he was implying you were a peadophile or something. At least one good thing came out of the pic though, I never knew it was a picture of your wife in your avatar, so that answered one question in the back of my mind - is she a famous woman, or a relative? Now I know. One of the reasons I quite like this place is the fact that I think a lot of people have the sort of sense of humour that lots of my friends in Britain have. The sign that you are finally becoming good friends with someone is that you are comfortable about taking the piss out of them. I hope people don't feel they should start holding back because people are getting upset, because I think you should just sort your problems out in private, as 9 times out of 10 I am sure you're all getting the wrong end of the stick. And I am still sure Sir Stewart is black. That's a pic of someone else! Link to post Share on other sites

EL the Famous Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 This was exactly my point. A complete stranger taking that kind of liberty is totally different from someone with whom I interact. By the way, for every person defending the post, there are others who have sent me PMs reminding me that we have some real idiots on this board, and hoping I won't leave because of them. I completely understand. You're dead on that he is both single and, more often than not, an idiot. I wasn't defending him per say, just trying to qualify that he was indeed likely 'taking the piss' and clear a little air. 'they'? ction and wookies Link to post Share on other sites
Big Perm Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Will this be Quality Television? Never saw the movie, but the book was a big hit around our house.I think the pilot, which was written & Directed by Peter Berg, same guy who did the movie, is really good. As far TV pilots go. I've seen the 2nd & 3rd episodes in rough cut forms. I don't know, tough to tell if it will fly or not, I 've read through the first 7 episodes, Have to bite my tongue on some things, just not my taste - but it's a kick ass job, so I hope it lasts.
