Why do it when you have the internet?

you could have used it

Laymen's terms work best.

Y'all, it might feel better to write a biting comment on her inane posts, but I think she might grow up a little (or go away for a while) if we just let her do as she pleases and look the other way. Don't read it, don't respond to it. Eventually she'll get banned, anyhow, I'm guessing.

I can't stand to be mean to anyone, even in a setting as 'anonymous 'as the Internet, but this is crazy. So sorry, curiouss, but I hope you quite acting like such an imbecile and take a break from GC for a while. Explore the real world - there's sunshine and actual people out there!! You might even like it!! (And I could definitely use a breather from your drama!)

That's what I am wondering. If I suck that much, why respond to me?

Gone off subject once again....

LOL-Curious, I just used this word on the thread about rude service...I'm glad it's cleared up. It is also used frequently when refering to concepts that have been embraced by the "New Age" philosophy.
