From: Mickey McLuhan SHUSH, BRENDA!
Didn't you know you aren't allowed to express an opinion?
The only facts are those provided by Jig!
Get back in line, woman!
And for goodness sake, put some pants on! All snarkiness aside that does seem to be the routine. A question is asked, but she doesn't want an opinion that counters her own narrow view of the topic. She see's it her way, and can never understand why somone would see it differently, choosing to ridicule their ideas rather than just disagreeing. For the most part I've found these questions entertaining, thought provoking and well worth considering. But her style of smug, judgemental arrogance in the guise of neo intellectualism is just too much. Jig, you're not the smartest person in the room, and your trials and tribulations "in the real" are no worse than many others here and give you no special insight. Get over yourself.

From: Jig Chippewa It's the format I apply in real - ask a question and elicit an audience response by offering a judgement on the question. Usually this stirs up the responders enough that interviewer is disliked intensely but the hook is baited and the question can't be ignored.
I wasn't asking you to answer the question. I was mocking you with sarcasm. Whatever little class you're taking on eliciting audience responses, you might want to change instructors next term. I think you do it for attention and ego boosting and to play with puppets, but most have cut their strings. From: Jig Chippewa
Call my opinion a kinda "academic freedom" - I wouldn't be Jig if I didn't voice my opinion in one way or another.
Opinions coming right back atchya. Snarky begets more Snarky. |

Lol - this isn't a serious post, is it? Come on, someone, own up. No one spells "straight" with the more complex form and then spells "tinnitus" correctly. And gets the contraction correctly for "wouldn't" but can't spell "while". And then uses a word like inept and appears to know what it means. Sorry, Cleo, I don't know whose alt you are but it's too good to be a badly written post. Ah well, maybe it's time I took some of my own advice from that thread of asking when its time to leave sl. Take care of yourselves - it's been fun. This is getting just a little too "jump on the poster" to me.

Jig,
Maybe it is because well you ask questions that well don’t have a definitive answer. You asked why in this current thread why for dancing we answered you.
SL is a multifaceted place well that is how I see it and in the logo or used to be your world your imagination or something like that. So when you ask why for dancing we give you the answer that we have for ourselves. It is up to you to decide if that is you so to speak.

I'm delighted to see that we didn't let any of this get nasty and personal . . .  /me slides back down behind the parapet, chewing her lower lip thoughtfully. I wonder if this flak jacket comes in a burgundy?
