From: Love Hastings When someone tailgates me, I take my foot off the gas until they figure out how to either back off or go around. I do it because it not only gets them to stop tailgating me one way or another, but I know that it infuriates them to no end. Yet it isn't likely to cause an accident (that involves me, anyway). But mostly to infuriate them. When someone tailgates me I rocket up to 90, do a quick 4 point turn and head straight back at them with my brights on and leaning on the horn.

I just noticed that it's hard to get a good flamewar going when your avatar is a hamster and you're bantering with people named Trout, Love and Sunni. Hmm. Yes, that could be a big part of the problem. Now, if you change your avie to a hedgehog, and Trout, Love and I all change our names, and.....oh, forget it. It's all just too much trouble. Anyway, I like the hamster...he makes me smile!

No matter how hard you try, it just comes out funny. Ordinal tried in the other thread and that one is devolving into hilarity just as quickly. Turns out when you feel like you know the people on the other end and actually like them, that it's almost impossible to legitimately flame them. Sigh. Stupid friends. Always interfering with my attempts to be spiteful and hatred-ridden. I can't even spit brimstone and venom like I used to. Maybe I'm getting old.

From: Claire Silverspar Sometimes I have to vent. I bottle things up far too much. This probably wasn't the optimum time for me to blow off some steam, but I couldn't help it. And I am not taking it back. I'm stubborn like that. OMG Claire! You never cease to surprise me! (Heh heh!...feisty and spunky isn’t she folks...you just got to love her!) It just makes you all the more atractive my dear!!!! From: Trout Recreant Sigh. Stupid friends. Always interfering with my attempts to be spiteful and hatred-ridden. I can't even spit brimstone and venom like I used to. Maybe I'm getting old. Well Trout it looks like it... so join the club... (Heck I'm old enough to be Claire's dad...and was called a pedafile when we were at a club a few weeks ago...now THATS old!)

You're another one who I can never quite picture being mean. Ever. Well, other than making me spit whatever liquid I happen to be drinking all over my monitor pretty often.

Trout,
If you ask nice, we may allow the US to become the fourth territory up here. Sorry, you can't be province until you've behaved yourself for a few years.
EDITED FOR SPELLING BECAUSE THE MORONS HERE AT WORK DON'T APPRECIATE THAT I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN ANSWER THEIR STUPID WORK RELATED QUESTIONS!!

Everyone has a right to a different point of view, their own opinions and such. Somethings may sound harsh, as in Claires response that is now taking on heat. I personally and yes, this is my opinion, don't feel that Claires response was horrible and she has a right to post how she feels about something just as everyone here that has posted. Unless you are demeaning another person or throwing derogatory insults and just plain being directly verbally abusive towards another person with malicious intent, then post your conflicting views. This gives people something to think about and shouldn't be taken personally. If you can't handle a different view or someone asking questions to get a better understanding then don't post. I haven't seen any posts that are what I would call seriously rude since a few last week and that was covered in another one of these........."nasty people" threads. Things can easily be taken out of context in here, so if you're not sure how someone meant something, ask. I belong to quite a few other forums besides this one and I can say that this one has more interesting, lighthearted conversations then any other. I'm not flaming here and I really don't think things need to get that far. C'mon guys, this a forum..........spread the diversity cheer and enjoy controversy, it will keep you on your toes. Now everyone hug and kiss and make up!!!

Hmmm, You know I have not been keeping up with the forums as i used to... but, there are a few topics that make me twitch and I write a smartass or what some might consider a rude response... - Relationship advise questions and polls - Is this or that cheating? - VAT whining - Why is everyone picking one me posts - Where are my crabs?  - Ban lines.. or the need for them  - We need a resident police force to 'clean up' sl - My slut rating is not what i think it should be  - The lindens are all idiots  - The end of sl is near becsue we can't (insert your favorite banned activity here..) Most of the time good sense prevails and i don't post the response, once in a while - particularly if Trout is involved, I hit the 'Submit reply' button and I live to regret the post... With that said... I do enjoy watching some of the more intelligent baiting that goes on here... too bad i am not smart enough to be part of it.  .d

Next time I'm NOT heading for the ditch so you'd better be ready to play some serious chicken. Of course, next time won't be until I buy a new car, 'cause I totaled mine when you ran me into that tractor-trailer of cows.  See, we can be nice in here, right?!

From: Trout Recreant Sorry. Actually, I love Canada. I've always thought we should colonize it. We don't have any more room for new stars on the flag, so we can't offer you statehood, and you'd be behind Puerto Rico and Guam in line anyway, but you would make lovely colonies. I think we could take you as a tax write-off. Plus, it might get easier for me to smuggle Cuban cigars across the border.
Not that I have EVER smuggled Cuban cigars across the border from Vancouver. EVER. The thought never crossed my mind. I promise. Those were all from some country with some sort of legitimate trade relations with the stupid US and its stupid policy on Cuba. Sure, colonize us. I'm certain room can be made on the flag for a mini maple leaf somewhere, between stripe 3 and 4. Wow! We'd be the biggest, baddest country in the world! Ahhh, Cuba. Beautiful place to visit - Oh, you've never been? That's sad. Psst, just to let everyone in on a secret, we're actually pretty rude. We just made that rumour up and it spread like wildfire. Why just the other day, I bumped into someone and he had the audacity to apologize. Jerk!

I live in Detroit, and all we have to do is drive across a bridge (or go under the river in a tunnel - no thanks) and you are there. It's like going to, Ohio, or something. Princess Ivory

From: Penny Rau I have no idea why I started visiting the forums, I asked a question and got addicted. Since then, I have had about 40% rude answers, or people who were pissed about my questions or comments. Is this more like a clique that does not welcome new people, or have I done something that really pissed off ppl to no end? I can't find 1 time that I meant to come off sounding rude. I think they should put an argue forum here, because I've noticed a lot of you that just want to argue. P.S. This does not apply to those of you who are nice to me. Saying "Me Too!" is boring. I'll quibble for a few different reasons, depending: 1) if the OP has something that is logically or rationally absurd, and no one has pointed it out... I'll jump in and say so. 2) if the OP is being really lazy, asking (obviously) before even trying to use the forum SEARCH feature, I might be a little flippant in my reply. 3) if the OP raises issues that I mostly agree with with a few minor exceptions I'll focus on the exceptions and has it out. I do try to be polite even when I disagree, (with all but a very small number of people), but it's text, folks will take things however they're inclined to regardless of original intent. =)

...How can we kid around when atrocities like this are happening in Sweden? Little people concealed in hockey bags fleece Swedish bus passengers Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, January 21, 2008 12:06 PM | permalink According to the Swedish daily newspaper Expressen.se, police suspect that a team of thieves operating in Sweden are using little people hidden in hockey bags and placed in the cargo holds of buses to loot passengers luggage while in transit. Passengers noticed the oversized hockey bags being quickly carried off to the trunk of a waiting car when they reaced their destination. Their valuables, however, were nowhere to be found in their luggage. Police launched the theory that it would be possible for a small person to hide in the luggage compartment (ala Shanghai "trunk man"  and have now issued a public warning.
