Litiquette3

[Lord Pmann]

Oh there's Papa Chained. He snuck in all sly like fox.

I don't have much of a filter. In fact, a couple of weeks ago when I suggested Rainshine "suck an AIDS dick" (which was a borrowed insult, by the way) I received a message slapping my virtual wrist for that. Apparently, some people find that offensive. In my mind, only the suckers or owners of AIDS dicks would be offended, but she explained this wasn't the case.

I do try to not hurt people's feelings though. I mean, some people are really sensitive and get their knickers in a bunch over every little thing. But, for the most part, I do try to keep from being mean. But sometimes people are just so fucking stupid. Ya know?

 

[SmileyGirl]

I try and think of how I would feel if someone said it to me. That's not always possible in the heat of the moment, when you're angry or annoyed. But words can have a lasting affect on people. I would never be intentionally offensive, unless it was deserved, but that's also subjective. What one may find offensive another may not.

 

[DarkSimian]

Many years ago, when I was a Lit virgin, I made some comments that, at the time I thought were funny and/or provacative. I was schooled rather harshly by someone on the "rules of Lit. ettiquette". Since then, I have been maybe a little more timid in my posting, more polite. Some may see this as a weakness, or a character flaw, but I do know that there are ALWAYS consequences to our actions, even in here. So sometimes it is a challenge to walk that fine line between respect and reaction.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Except for all those threads you make just to be mean. You know those ones where you flirt with satan. *cough*

Also, to be clear when pmann suggested I "suck a AIDS dick" that was his totes badass GB speak coming out. He's usually much kinder to his magnificent cawk.

And to answer the question - I usually just say what I say and hope for the best.

Yes. There are certain people to whom I would be mean. Terrorists. Hugh Jackman. That dumbass with her makeup fairy thread. But that's more about me being a hero. Ya know?

My magnificent cawk is not an AIDS dick. It's clean and free from love bumps or the HIV, tyvm.

I do not understand why people get offended over things though. Like, I just don't understand what makes a person get offended by jokes. Jokes are usually not meant to hurt people. It is one thing if someone sets out to hurt you. But am I going to be offended every time someone makes a big dick joke? Of course not. Or every time someone makes a comment about someone being too charming for their own good? Never!!!! I'm rugged as the back ass of a mountain and I won't be all wimpy and shit.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Also, I'll add this to the list of people who are okay to offend and ridicule.

Ahem.

Anyone who likes the following music:

Sam Hunt
Florida/Georgia Line
Nickelback

Those people are fair game. For sure. But I don't think anyone would even argue that.

For me, it's the pointy end of the stick rule. I think of humor (and smart ass things said) as:

Fine if the pointy end of the stick is poking me.
Okay if the we're both getting skewered by the pointy of the stick.
Bad if I'm jabbing the pointy end of the stick into you.

And I am talking about a real stick. Maybe. (For the record my stick is not pointy. It has a safety tip.)

 

[Endless_Night]

But where should the line be drawn? How do you self-regulate when you're at the edge of being offensive?

I try not to hurt people's feelings. Not easy, as everyone is so different.

The problem is that people take things personally, whether they are meant personally or not. *shrugs*

< I do not understand why people get offended over things though. Like, I just don't understand what makes a person get offended by jokes. Jokes are usually not meant to hurt people. It is one thing if someone sets out to hurt you. >

 

[Paul_Chance]

Some people are out there looking for things to take offense at - not much you can do about them, they're going to be offended by whatever you say, whether it is a joke or not.

Part of it is about relationships too - I take crap from my friends that I wouldn't take from a stranger or an acquaintance because with my friends, I understand the intent behind the statement. With a stranger it's harder to tell.

What? Safety tip means condom right?

 

[DarkSimian]

I would hope Paul practices safe stick poking, esp in here

 

[Paul_Chance]

Something soft and cushy.

Hahaha - and do NOT google penis safety tip. Do NOT do it! (I warned you.)

Yes, this!

I have hurt someones feelings simply by joking around on here. The teasing was meant to be fun, light hearted but it was not taken that way. So obviously I don't know the line but on the other side I come here for fun, for a break. I don't intend to walk on egg shells so I dust try to avoid those who are easily offended and stick close to those who can joke & flirt and not get all weird about it,

 

[Paul_Chance]

It still hurt when you compared my love making to wrestling with a rabid hamster! Even when you tried to make it better by clarifying you meant a cute rabid hamster. Cute didn't help.

I'm safe. Jenny confiscated my google license.

Oh. My. Goodness!

Littles Sister has been busy!

Maybe he likes to get his stick wet?

I googled it but I'm confused...

Well you did put it in my tush like Tom Cruz did with his hamster.

I look at that and think - okay, where the hell do all the pieces go?

Hey, it was your Mission Impossible fantasy! I was just being helpful and you know how the word tush turns me on!

Galactic Cap? what am I Captain Kirk, boldly going where no man has gone before?

My thoughts exactly.

You were super hot in the white dress shirt and white socks tho. Tush, tush, tush, baby.

New rule:

*I will not read the super-secret colored text*
*I will not read the super-secret colored text*

It is usually a really good idea to skip whatever I write in lemon. Chances are it even embarrasses me, like anal, so it goes in yellow.

Galactic Cap? what am I Captain Kirk, boldly going where no man has gone before?

Oh god no. Please just no.

 

[DarkSimian]

Oh god no. Please just no.

that can be taken so many ways

 

[Lord Pmann]

I think a good idea would be if people would just not take things personally, then their knickers wouldn't be in a bunch.

Thank you. I solve the world's problems.

 

[Paul_Chance]

I misread one of the sentences above as Galactic Clap. It was very funny. It didn't solve any world problems, but it was entertaining.

Ummmm... how dare you?!? I have a friend who I knew for a month 14 years ago who got Glactic Clap after she hooked up with an evil Federation overlord who she met singing karaoke on Line Dancing Night at The Hayloft. It's no laughing matter.

You've hurt my feelings. And if you look closely, my knickers are quite twisted.
