No, I wasn't.

you're a moron

LOL

Cheerfulgreek misinterprets and overreacts but she calls people mean when she thinks THEY misinterpret and overreact. All of our communication styles aren't easily conveyed on GC. There will be misunderstandings. Just be able to roll with the punches...or the imaginary punches.

This asteroid story makes me nervous. I agree that this is yet another thing to "worry about" that 99% of us are completely helpless about. But the ocean and the universe make me nervous because they are huge domains with so many unknown aspects. Enough of my rant. :)

PhiGam, you don't have to be a prick everyday of your life, ya know.

Why can't people just have a decent chatting conversation like they do IRL? Yes, I would react to people like that if they said something condescending to me IRL. They don't because people seem to get along with me quite well and vise versa IRL.

Some of you are just so angry and I don't understand why.

Someone just called me a moron FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER! How am I supposed to react to that?

I agree with the 2nd part of your post.

Good grief, someone sound the violins.

No tell us what it was in this thread that conveyed anger? Is it along the lines of what disturbed you about my "christiangreek" mistake? Get a grip!

I wasn't even really talking to you, cg. I just quoted you because it was the OP. I thought the whole story was pretty funny, because in case you hadn't noticed, what you typed (the story/the news/what's happening) is JUST like what happened in the movie. There. Are you happy now that I explained all of my attempts at humor away?

KSUViolet, I know you're not. You're very respectful and I can have a decent chatting session with you. You never make unnecessary posts involving name calling or putting others down.

I didn't mean you.

To be fair CG, you seemed to be upset before PhiGam called you a "moron" (and no one else has called you a name on here).

The reason was that you're typing like a moron.

Yeah I don't get why people are "angry" all of a sudden, cheefulgreek, besides you.

My point is, it's a joke. You don't need to take the "Duh" personally all the time. In fact, you post like you take everything everyone says on GC personally, and I just don't get it. We've never met you, we're not your friends. Why do you have to take such offense?

I don't think you'd have been called a moron had you not posted that you thought it was condescending or inappropriate for PeppyGPhiB to take the Armageddon jokes (that had already been posted) and run with them. Of course, I'm not PhiGam, so I can't speak for certain on what his intent was.

I'm also pretty sure that Peppy's joke was not a personal slight against you. Just because she quoted your post does not mean she was attacking you.

Well, I didn't know. So, if someone calls me a moron or an asshat, I guess I'd better just assume they were kidding and lol it off. Right?

Thanks for making that clear to me Peppy. I apologize for assuming.

cheerfulgreek, you always want to call people mean or angry.

How is that really different from people calling you a moron, stupid, or an idiot?

It's all based on perceptions of people's posts. You don't know us and we don't know you. What some of us find funny you may find mean. Must you always cry us a river?
