..............seems I'm seeing a lot of them as of late and always in the politics section so here I'll post it. I like the .................. myself as it just leads us somewhere else. Question marks are OK when used properly. As in a question that some may be able to give an opinion or answer for. The exclamation points are a different story to me. It tells me you are yelling. People that yell don't get a lot of respect from me. Back in the days of my "retail managment" I always told employees to never yell at me because I would not yell at them. IF you managed to get me to yell at you then you had messed up real bad. Thinking back I yelled at two people big time. One I fired on the spot. He did exactly what I told him NOT to do then had the gall to yell at me when I brought it to his attention. Bad move. Hell, he even threatened me. Yes, the squeeky wheel gets the grease according to many but how hard should that wheel squeek? Does yelling help? [notice the use of question marks here]. Yelling doesn't help to me. It's an indication of many things. Most aren't good.
!!!!!.....? ...Oh, it's (^) a mime screaming... I think he was pretending to be on fire... and he was wondering why no one cared that he was on fire. My theory is that no one tried to help because everyone enjoys seeing a mime scream, especially one that is pretending to be on fire. Prove me wrong!
!!! ....but.... flaming mimes.... flaming... mimes!!! ...They are mimes... and they are flaming... what more do you want?!!
You are correct in so many ways and I myself I am sure am guilty of such as well but with that said I think the biggest issue with this site is when someone stalks another poster and actually insults them right off the site. This site seems to have lost alot of new people and I have noticed that alot of people are gone from the first time I was here. From my understanding from Private Messages and personal e-mails over time people were not overwhelmed by someone's intelligence but rather the lack of it and felt the person was a moron and did not think that it was worth coming here anymore. Now to be fair to all, we all could be that moron if we allow ourselves to get caught up with that type of mindset so I suggest that instead of becoming something we do not like or respect just click the ignore button feature and stay on the site as a nice positive person who has something to say.
...(sighs)...As you wish: Oh my. It appears that French man in the courtyard over there (points) is in an imaginary box. He appears to be screaming, yet I hear nothing. He must be a mime. Look. Now he appears to be desperately pounding on the imaginary walls imprisoning him. What's that? Oh, no. He appears to be in despair, yes? His soundless cries must be quite horrible. What's that he's doing? He appears to be dumping something over his head. Oh my. It's petrol. I do believe he's going to self-immolate himself in this very courtyard. He's pulled out something, it may be a match....yes...yes it is indeed a match. No. Don't do it, little French man. No. No. Oh, the humanity. He's on fire. The fool set himself on fire. His arms are flailing about. Now he's fallen to the ground. He's flopping on the ground. Oh, why little French man, why? The screams must be agonizing...why, French man? Why did you do this? If only you had found that imaginary key in time. Your welcome.
