Jenna: One person's "bad taste" is another's humor. Heck, HBO, not to mention thousands of stand up comedians, is successful with some of its comedy shows precisely for that reason. The only difference between one person's bad taste and another's humor is that elusive concept of "personal opinion." My personal opinion is that I thought it was VERY funny. But, I can understand how others would not think so. A difference in personal opinion is never a reason or excuse, IMO, for a personal attack on anyone. Troy

OK, I said I wouldn't engage you, thinking you would just attack again. But if you insist on this method of revisionist posting, I must reply. It's an old trick Jenna, that when you can't or won't address what was asked of you, you fire back, alleging that the opponent asked something else, and ignore the original question. Unfortunately, no matter how many times you allege that I wanted you to make your profile to my liking (your last post to me) or that I wanted you to remove your profile (your original post to me), that doesn't make it true. I have no opinion on your profile, because I don't care what you or anyone else does here on SI to promote their business. Again, I simply asked you why you felt one way, and acted in another, and made a suggestion to remedy the situation, if you chose. Period. End of story. Your refusing to answer that seeming hypocrisy is telling, but not especially surprising. Likewise, saying that your not finding my profile funny was as deep as it went is similarly revisionist. If that were true, your remarks about my self-image wouldn't have been made. Again, telling, but not especially surprising. Anyone who deems herself the arbiter of bad/good taste, not to mention calling 'her' profile humorous leaves me humorously (there's that word again) puzzled. Since our profiles is almost the topic here, I would refer you to the quote on my profile. (The pics have been removed, you won't be stricken down if you look again) You might take it to heart, and internalize it as a mantra. Enough said. Reagrds, Len
