Should we treat the Lady posters different?

Shit, what a fuss about nothing.

Why should anyone be treated different then anyone else?

STUPID FOOLS

I was never confused by the question, and I did address it. I just chose to broaden the parameters, because they overlap. Sorry, but if you think that treating people with disrespect, sarcasm, and contempt in here will stay ONLY in here, you are delusional. I do believe that people are represented by their posts, even if on this supposedly "anonymous website." Aspects of their pitchforks or halos shown in here will carryover somehow into their real world personalities. Are you this argumentative on your job, or a meek, docile creature who has to release his aggressions in here?

I meant what I said; both gentlemen and ladies should be treated the same - with respect, even on ECCIE forums. I realize that you're asking if your equal-opportunity insults are fair and should be expected by both sexes, and if it's chauvinistic to NOT put everybody down the same. I don't understand the reason to drip acid in discussing religion, sex, money, politics, whatever, in the first place. It can done without rancor and revilement. You can be direct and make a point and still be polite. There is no debate with you, WTF. You just attack and destroy who and what you disagree with, make verbal assaults that you think are witty or insightful, and then you justify it with more sarcasm because we couldn't possibly be as smart as the superior person that you think you are. (Perfect example quoted above.) Why must you be so venomous, WTF? You like the "game," the verbal (well, typed) bait and trap and kill. I dare you to go one damn day without either calling or inferring that anybody on here is an idiot. Whether or not they are is immaterial. And don't give me that, "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, you're going to call it a fucking duck" bulltwinkie. I just don't think you can go 24 hours logged in and posting without making someone on here your whipping puppy.

Wow, this is about the meanest thing I've ever said in here, but you do tick me off. (And I'm sure that's one of your goals, getting people's dander up.)

Now I'm going to go find a "happy" thread so I'm not riled up before bedtime. Originally Posted by Fancyinheels

i do get it however, when someone says the most baffling things..and then wont respond..they just wish it to all go away

maybe your post will shake him up a bit ..at least for a day or so.... domesticate him for a few hours..

I was never confused by the question, and I did address it. I just chose to broaden the parameters, because they overlap. Just because you say they overlap does not make it so. Sorry, but if you think that treating people with disrespect, sarcasm, and contempt in here will stay ONLY in here, you are delusional. I never said that. I said that respect is earned. I also said that it depends on where you are sitting . Right now , from my POV, you are not being very respectfull. Do you at least have to good sense to see that? I do believe that people are represented by their posts, even if on this supposedly "anonymous website." Aspects of their pitchforks or halos shown in here will carryover somehow into their real world personalities. You can believe what you want. You can believe in the Tooth Fairy or you can believe that putting up with ignorance in a political discussion is some kind of noble thing. We disagree. Are you this argumentative on your job, or a meek, docile creature who has to release his aggressions in here?See, you make my point. Your passive contempt is no better to me than my direct approach on your lack of understanding a question is to you. I do not think one better or worse than the other. You hypocrites think your approach better. What if I used your approach, "Are you this ignorant on your job? Or are you kind , docile creature who releases their intolerance here?"

I meant what I said; both gentlemen and ladies should be treated the same - with respect, even on ECCIE forums. I agree but with the caveat that it is earned. I realize that you're asking if your equal-opportunity insults are fair and should be expected by both sexes, and if it's chauvinistic to NOT put everybody down the same. What you call insults I call retorts to insults or just plain ignorance. That you do not see your comments as insults is a reflection on you, not me. I don't understand the reason to drip acid in discussing religion, sex, money, politics, whatever, in the first place. You don't? Yet you have right here in this post with me. That is what I love to point out, hyporicy. You are a shining example. It can done without rancor and revilement. It can be but first both sides need to respect the other. Your lack of respect towards me (and lack of the basic understanding of even doing so) makes it difficult for me to have a respectful, intelligent conversation with you. You come with a holier than thou attitude as if you do not wrong. That usuall gets a swift fuc off from me. But in this case I will try and point out that you may need to see thing from more than just you POV. Your reaction then dictates the subsequent discussion. Without an open mind to my POV , well let us just say I will not tolerate that kind of ignorance. You can be direct and make a point and still be polite. There is no debate with you, WTF. Are you like the debate police? What you say goes? You just attack and destroy who and what you disagree with, make verbal assaults that you think are witty or insightful, and then you justify it with more sarcasm because we couldn't possibly be as smart as the superior person that you think you are. THIS WHOLE FORUM DOES THAT. WTF. You are a hypocrite. You do not like me fine. But do not come in here accussing me of something the whole forum does. Are you saying I do it better than most? If so THANK YOU, if not FUCK YOU. (Perfect example quoted above.) Why must you be so venomous, WTF? You like the "game," the verbal (well, typed) bait and trap and kill. I dare you to go one damn day without either calling or inferring that anybody on here is an idiot. Whether or not they are is immaterial. And don't give me that, "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, looks like a duck, you're going to call it a fucking duck" bulltwinkie. I just don't think you can go 24 hours logged in and posting without making someone on here your whipping puppy. Make up your mind, Is it a duck or puppy?

Wow, this is about the meanest thing I've ever said in here, but you do tick me off. (And I'm sure that's one of your goals, getting people's dander up.) One of my goals is to get people to THINK. Think that what they do and say might not be as nice as they think. That their POV is not the best for everyone. It might be the best for them.

Now I'm going to go find a "happy" thread so I'm not riled up before bedtime. See, I have nothing negative to say about that. I hope you had a good night sleep. Originally Posted by Fancyinheels

That is why we have to back and forth that we do in here. I do not take it personal. I realize that some do and until they are able to seperate from the emotion from a rational discussion....well then we will continue to have what you seem not to care for , yet do very well. Which is to say we will continue to insult each other.

My goal in this forum is to point out hyporicy and irony. You may have a different goal than me Ms Fancy. Your goal may be civility.


I do not think you can have civility until each side is aware of the others POV. From there a mutual respect has to develop. This takes time and is a evolution.

For you to come in here and think you know it all is naïve at best and dare I say ignorant at worst!

In closing , I will say that there are many folks on here who have a different political belief system than I. I/we have developed a mutual respect for each other. We get along just fine. So please save your erroneous judgments for people much meeker than myself. I asked a simple question. Do you want to be treated as an equal in this forum ? or not?

Do you know when you put an infinite number of monkeys at an infinite number of keyboards you sometimes get WTF?

Notice, no profanity. Can you do that?


Where did fancy in heels get a bed like that? At a renaissance festival? Nice outfit by the way.

Wait, wait, let me do my WTF impersonation.... Nice fucking tits there Fancy, you want to bring them over here? You see I hate everyone including you but I love big fucking tits.

i wouldnt mind it so much...the attack and destroy method employed..if it would just make sense ..what seems to happen in here is a severe lack of reading or maybe just not understanding posts and not addressing any point...and when seemingly addressed the reply is either off point or is extraneous matter that you might or might not agree with but has no relationship to what is being discussed.

The exact same thing can be said by me about your posts. Yet you think you make perfect sense. You thnk you are a gentleman.

maybe your post will shake him up a bit ..at least for a day or so.... domesticate him for a few hours.. Originally Posted by nevergaveitathought

Fancy, so far, has just been a female version of many of you gents. A hypocrite. She comes into the Monkey pen. It says "Beware Monkey Pen" on the entrance. She enters throws some shit at me and tells me how evil I am for throwing shit in a shit throwing pen! That is WTF you do in the monkey pen. She then tells me that I will throw shit if I go to the giraffe pen. Nothing is further from the truth but she fancies herslf as a know it all.

Fancy, a word to the wise. Read what Ms Whispers had to say in another thread and then get back with me. That is the way to earn respect and get what you want. If that is truly wtf you want....

Jesus, WTF. Get over yourself, you are looking like an asshole.

And I responded, and as I expected, you couldn't keep an insult out of even a single post.

By the way, as I understand it the Sandbox is not JUST a political forum, and is open to everything Hobby-related. I don't discuss politics at all, as mine are my business and nobody's else's. Are you referring to The Monkey Pen as THIS forum or all of ECCIE? I think I have every right to be on ECCIE and not expect to be depreciated for my beliefs, maybe for my looks or service as a provider, but that's a different issue. You're right; I was raised to be courteous, and I treat people that way. I don't know how you inferred from my post that "I knew it all," as I obviously don't, but perhaps I am naive to expect boundaries and an exchange of ideas on a board like this with civility and decorum. Whether you respect me or not is of no importance, as I respect myself, and therefore do feel bad about my comment last night. I crossed my own boundaries and stooped to YOUR level in making belittling personal remarks. My apologies for that. The thing is, you refuse to understand my point. Your question isn't the kind that can be answered with a simple yes or no, but if that's what you want, sure, treat everyone the same, men and women alike, be snide and derogatory to all creatures great and small. Happy?

WTF intentionally distorts for his own amusement. Forget about him, and come over here. I want to explore my tall, Irish treat!

Move on, WTF, nothing to see here.

You think you are better than me?

You like my medieval-looking bed, JD? It is a relic, made from architectural elements of a 19th-century Chicago firehouse (like the posts on the staircase and the emblem mounted at the top of a stairwell), manned by some of the many Irish firemen in the city. When the firehouse was decommissioned and about to be torn down, one of the firefighters who recognized lasting art (Chicago was known for excellent ornamental cast iron work at the time) was allowed to take what he wanted, and he turned it into this bed. I bought it from his granddaughter, a sweet little redheaded lady headed for a retirement home, after it had been sitting dismantled in a garage for 20 years. (I hope that didn't bore you too much, but I think it an interesting past.) It goes well with my penchant for anachronisms. And thank you for complimenting my outfit. I have a closet full of bust-boosting costumes. Wanna see?

And you, darling CuteOG, to answer your question from last night, yes, I'm a natural redhead. (I'd offer to let you match the carpet to the drapes, but I've been tiled. ) Now hug me. I feel dirty after all the mess with WTF.

Or maybe not. Originally Posted by WTF

Don't be too hard on WTF, when he was a child, he was breast fed on falsies. Fancy, we have to meet sometime, you're gorgeous.

And yes, we treat lady posters differently, for the reason mentioned before, and because that is how gentlemen act. I appreciate my ladies!

Maybe he never had a hostess cupcake, but we know he's fond of Twinks!

Oops, that should have been Twinkies, an honest mistake. LOL!
