FWIW, I'm sure most do see the sarcasm. But the fact is, it's a public forum and there is Chas' ten year old daughter rule. Being that this is a public forum, we must maintain the appearance of being civil ladies and gents. Things you post on public forums can come back to bite you later and can reflect poorly on our community as a whole.Lucky45 wrote:Thanks G.C.Montgomery for the comments. Glad to see someone not acting like they are completely passive in this world.
You know what is amazing is that some people in here can't recognize sarcasm and are such sheeple. I can't think out loud for heaven's sake!!!
To think that was going to slap someone for real is crazy.
P.S. Especially without doing an administrative reload first.
As an example, your posts may simply set a bad first impression before you meet someone at CHL Forum Day. Another example, however unlikely, might be reference checks for potential employment. This is already biting thousands of college grads in the rear. And in the extreme, your posts on a public forum may be discoverable in criminal and civil procedings. No disrespect to our resident counselors but, lawyers are some sneaky buzzards and will use anything and everything you have ever done or said against you in court. And finally, we've all seen the political and social whirlwind caused by Jim Zumbo's blog and the damage it did to his career and our common cause.
I say this only because I was in the same spot not long ago on another forum. I vented out loud after being infuriated by the non-malicious actions of an LEO. Fact is, it was one straw too many on the camel's back rather than the direct actions of the officer that enraged me. Wrong day, wrong time, and fingers moving faster than my brain. While I had every right to be ticked off and every right to vent, it wasn't in my best interest to post my angry ramblings in public.
