Laughing at a joke is hardly "siding with the enemy". Grow up, already.



Snarf, the fact that he laughed at something that warped indicates he agrees with those persecuting me. That, from where I sit, is the textbook definition of "siding with the enemy".



I don't "Side with the enemy." I may have unwittingly " slept with the enemy " on occasion, but that is another matter entirely.

I don't jump on any bandwagons here. Others here do launch attacks both crude and clever on others. I do not. This comes from years of being dumped on in public school...

I never forgot how bad it felt to be the constant target of endless, pointless derision; therefore, I do not attack others verbally or online simply for the sport of it. I never forgot how much it hurt back then, so I take care not to do it now.

Of course, I have a bit of a thicker skin now at almost 50, as opposed to age 15.

I laughed at Mxy's comic. What Mxy wrote was quite amusing! When good jokes are made at my own expense in here, I laugh, too! Admit it... we all like attention in here.

I guess I am not completely without humor in that respect.

This missive is not for Oakley, rather, it is for those here who defend and like me. While I do appreciate it when those here do show that they like me, I am quite capable of defending myself against verbal games here, but, I chose another game to play, instead - which is where I simply ignore insults here. I grew quite weary of allowing myself to be backed up against against a wall of words online.

( Still, it does a body good when others come to the rescue here. )

When you get down to it, things said online are merely one big endless game. Most people online feel that they can say and do the worst things: ie., to agree to meet you someplace in real time, and simply not show up...because such arrangements were made online, and online is basically one huge fantasy...is it not?

We can re- invent who we are online... the rude and crude become most eloquent with words, the shy become aggressive and outgoing, and the nice ones can feel free to let their dark side run rampant...

But I remain as always, an individual.

" Siding with The Enemy".... !

I prefer aluminum siding, thank you.
