Condolences to the victims of the Indonesia quake

[MrFilthyIke]

Heh. Did you *see* his post? Yea, it was pretty necessary.

I didn't see it, but judging by PC's repsonse, I'm sure it was rude and/or offensive.

 

[talinthas]

i was responding to the initial slur. pkitty edited it out of both the original and my reply. Thanks for that, by the way. I was really offended, especially during an emergency like this.

 

[Klaus]

Talinthas -> I hope your relatives in India aren't in the affected region.

 

[Vorith]

What I said was absolutely necessary, and I stand by what I said because it's true.

 

[talinthas]

none of my family was personally affected, but my neighbors are from Chennai (madras), and that area was hit by some pretty severe flooding, so we're waiting for contact from folks over there.

I guess it's true that there is one in every crowd.

What I said was absolutely necessary, and I stand by what I said because it's true.

You've got yourself a week's vacation. One more offense like this one, and it's permanent. If you'd like to be offensive, please don't do it here.

 

[talinthas]

well, i'm calm now. Everyone i know in the affected areas were able to make it to higher ground. It's mainly the poor fishermen who were hit hard. the devastation is unimaginable over there.

 

[hiryuu]

Well, I'm glad they made it out okay, then.

I'm also happy that Mr. Clarke is okay. He's more important than Jet Li, at least to me.

Glad to hear your relatives and neighbors are okay, Tal.

Peace!
