Watched Office Space last night. How liberating it was when the protagonist decided he wasn't going to put up with annoyances anymore.

And SA is having to deal with the punishment dealt by law enforcement and the judicial system.

Snubbing BF after cheating isn't illegal... so folks are taking the "law" into their own hands to dole out the punishment for iJen.

Liberating, and a 100% original story line.

(still funny though)

office space looks like a lot of fun.

The only one who generally brings up iJen is SA.

I wouldn't hang out with either of them, and haven't had an issue saying what I think. Sorry SA, but you're a ****ing train wreck. IJen is a therapist's wet dream. I don't even believe the new guy exists. I'm sure that chick is going to end up on an episode of Catfish.

For a moderator, you really need to work on your moderation.

And you're not even Mr. Lofty Standards.

People in real life are very different from online.

I don't think either of those statements are really much of a reach outside ones comfort zone.

Having met multitudes of folks from online communities in real life, that tends to be a fairly meaningless statement. People from work are different outside work. You can take any situation and say folks act different in some other situation. I've met guys at bike races and they're different when they drop their daughters off at kindergarten.

SA brings up iJen less frequently than WHOOSHIE, DAtlas, RUOkie, and even Rowan joining in for a jab. There have been many, many pokes about cheating, cutting short, reduced distance.

I look at this thread as the conversation that goes along on a JRA, and find it very enjoyable at times. Other times it is a collective of gossipy women stabbing whoever isn't around.

I read something along time ago on BF that applies:

Men trade insults, and don't mean anything by it.

Women trade compliments, and don't mean anything by it either.

Therapy.

Be specific.

Remember back in he 90's when the internet was as safe and wholesome as the 1950's? I met tons of people back then who actually were like their online persona. Times have changed and that is no longer the case, and it is obvious no matter which direction you look from wherever you sit on the information superhighway.

The learned anonymity that the interwebs provide has made people much more aggressive and unfriendly online, yours truly included. I have tried to moderate that as it is not an attractive quality.

Everyone. I know I am. I've only ever met one person off the internet that I didn't already know and that is Pcad and he is a real gentleman. Hard to believe huh?

Obviously Ms Sills has never had to make an emergency run to a restroom with diarrhea.

Moderators are people too!

Not really..but don't tell him I know.;)

With a responsibility to be a little more above it all than are we, the unwashed masses.

You're always going to get the business here.....My favorite part is what Ms. ironman called the individual who was right behind her, just before she completed the ironman....Talk about your red flags..:rolleyes:
