I doubt that I find butt humor very funny." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! OK. I admit it I went ahead and read the rest of your post anyway...somehow, I figured you were serious, so what the hey."However, the post where you wrote "Ionesco's pants are on fire!" did make me laugh, ... " See... This is at the heart of your personality conflict with me. I see zero difference in that comment and a more direct comment like jlallen makes 'you're a lying moron'... none, absolutely none. You like it because it was creative and inferred something by innuendo rather than being direct and truthful about feelings. It was the most severe thing that any human being (according to my list) can say about another. You found it funny ... What most offends me most is that you view the two things as not only different but essentially different. So your 'friends' know that and conduct them selves in a very nasty (IMO) manner casting all kinds of inference, innuendo, mendacious logic, and unsupportable allegations on the honor of other people and you find the discussion to be sophisticated and decent."...I am not simply running interference for her. She is completely capable of taking care of herself. " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Ok, ok, I admit that one did give me pause. Just a sec... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! There is no explanation ... not one ... why ionesco has made this thread her new home except for the obvious and overwhelming effort you made on your return to do just that ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!"The problem is that if some of you guys are nasty to Ionesco, which you often are, then it is only fair to allow her to defend herself. ionesco has spent years running this nasty gambit. She, posts extremely nasty inferences (using the above mentioned indirect approaches) about 'other' people, as her primary MO...insincere fake topical side discussions about carrots and such not-withstanding. Her routine quickly fizzles without a person playing your role. Why? Because when people call her on it, or when people challenge her nasty remarks with logic she she runs away into fake 'SI ignore' realms or under the skirt of her benefactor. I pointed out the obvious to you on your 'return', you banned me for stating a truth that you didn't feel comfortable with. Fine. Let's all keep pretending. You pretend that ionesco is peaches and cream with a bunch of nasties that you need to " I will have to admonish people, which I find very boring, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! OK. I hope in your meditation (or your 'humor') you can find a way to continue your benevolent tolerance toward those of us who are not_s'good at this pretend stuff."My own opinion is that she manages to stay polite and reasonably civil..." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
