Can we judge a person's character by their stance on the case?

[Vertigo Swirl]

I think your question needs to be directed at the individual who started the thread.

I already have.  What do you think?

That's a strange idea of fun - IMO.

and perhaps yu are just avery poor judge

Perhaps and of course I am simply basing my opinion on your behaviour here.....perhaps you are totally different in ‘real life’.

I don't think what you wrote was with any affection, or light-heartedness but with a desire to ridicule and insult, in fact it is ageist and unpleasant IMO, in the same way that people claim their racist, sexist, disablist, homophobic, anti-semitic comments are just "light hearted banter" and that the victims of iit should just lighten up and get a sens of humour.  Not acceptable.  IMO.

Others claim they were being ironic, or tongue in cheek. It's probably better to say what one means and mean what one says. I tend to add 'lol' as a clue if I'm using banter.

To change the subject ever so slightly what is your avatar trying (and failing) to communicate to the forum?

lol is not a get out of jail free card for writing offensive, antagonistic clap-trap.  Faithlilly was not being tongue in cheek when she painted a picture of me as an old man dribbling down my cardigan, that’s clearly how she saw me.  How wrong is it possible for a person to be! Lol.

Its an interesting, if disturbing image. I doubt I'll be able to get that out of my mind now.

Faithlilly was being tongue in cheek....apologies if you couldn’t see the joke.

[faithlilly]

Would it be the more mature option to bring that ‘better self’ here? What do you gain from acting like a spoiled child ?
