You responded to: I do not think that 24 hour a day, seven day a week persecution parties are necessary though. Your response: And just what is it that you and yEllen engage in on this thread? Janice, I know you aren't that dumb. You know that both Cindy and I have "engaged" in futile attempts to get you & your group to refrain from the personal attacks. And, yes, I fully realize & admit the attempts ARE futile. No matter how you respond to this post (most likely a snickering dig), it won't convince anyone literate enough to be reading this thread that either Cindy or I have done anything other than just that. You realize it. It's just that you enjoy what you consider to be "humor" or "clever wit" too much to post in another manner. In any other forum, you wouldn't dream of actually talking to people the way you do here. You'd be shown the door. And getting the other members of your group to gang up with responses to this post or commenting about it in posts to others won't change what we've tried to accomplish - no matter how you or anyone else tries to present it as being otherwise. So post away. Have your digs. Get the others to post and have their digs too. It won't matter. You also responded: Hey! Far be it from me to condemn a little light-hearted personal attack, lolololol, but people who can't be bothered to inform themselves kinda annoy me. As do pomposity, sanctimoniousness, hypocrisy, and humorlessness. Not to mention babytalk. Interesting what you consider to be "light-hearted." You really DO consider it to be and know it to be ridicule and you like it. Your own words: Certainly I don't believe that "ridicule" should be considered actionable. Fun's fun. From #reply-6829516 And "pomposity, sanctimoniousness, hypocrisy and humorlessness" annoy YOU? Oh, please. I nearly gagged all over my keyboard on that one! You ARE the queen of those, after all. And "not to mention babytalk"??? This, from the perpetuator of "nib nib nib" and "boom boom not nice" and...on and on. You are, my dear Janice, the very height of hypocrisy. Your own words: I don't approve of cat-and-mouse games, either From #reply-7465761 So, go ahead, have your "fun" by calling this ankle-biting (as if it's NOT what you do - only yours is flat out mean) or persecution (as if it is) or sanctimonious (because it shows you in a bad light) or whatever you feel like calling it today. I know you (AND your group) can't resist making your "witty" or full of "humor" comments. It is, after all, what you DO. So have at it.
