Re: ................

Can't we all just get along?

Of course we can. I'm willing and want to go back to talking about music and the arts and politics and all the things that make life worth living.

Oh yeah I fucking hate chocolate skittles.

Just the thought . . . just the thought of chocolate skittles. That is just wrong.

Re: ................

Part of having a larger community is the fact that there are going to be a variety of interactions and opinions. There is no reason why a couple people who disagree with each other or just plain don't like each other can't coexist and post on the same MESSAGE BOARD. It would be stupid to expect everyone to like each other... its just not going to happen.

But there's no reason to constantly fuck with each other. If you honestly don't like someone, it should be easier to just ignore them than to respond to everything they say with some sort of taunt.

And Erik, you know that I don't give a shit about joking around with people. But you really do call her a name or mock her in basically every thread she posts in, often completely free of any instigation. It's not fair to call this overreacting - I'm just pointing out that it's kind of ridiculous and you should chill.

Am I being out of line here? I don't really consider myself a moderator - just a janitor. I consider everyone on this board a good friend and its kind of embarrassing for me to have to step up and speak from a position of an administrator when I'm talking to friends. So I'm just expressing this from the position of a friend. Not to be cheesy or anything.

Just wondering... I know I'm the one who brought them up, but Chocolate Skittles have what to do with music/arts(and/or)/politics?

or

how can you relate the discussion of Chocolate Skittles to the things that make life worth living?

Re: ................

You're right, it is a naive thought to believe that everyone is supposed to get along, and I guess I should just let it go and accept that I've blocked him, he and I don't like eachother, that's the end of it. I just don't like the way he's treating Trathena, which is why I blocked him the in first place. I said my peace, as harsh as it was, and I'll drop it now.

Re: ................

Chocolate Skittles exists because it's opposite exists. Namely, "things that make life worth living" must have an opposite, an antithesis. The opposite of things that make like worth living are Chocolate Skittles.

Re: ................

Because if we had to eat chocolate skittles, life would not be worth living?

I don't know! Stop making me concentrate on 4/20! Quit it!
