[QUOTE="stevelabny, post: 2490023, member: 9298"] who's being mean? Just because some people that I "hang out" with do something that I think is dumb, does not mean I'm being mean. Imagine we were all sitting around playing d&d and eating junk food, and then one of us says "I think that Bea Arthur is hot" and then someone else says "Eww, youre crazy. Why not go after a hot chick instead, stupid?" This is not mean, this is not personal. While the opinion (bea arthur being hot) is being considered crazy and stupid, it does mean that the person WITH the opinion is crazy and stupid in any other circumstance. EnWorld = a hangout. Other posters = people I am hanging out with. There is nothing mean or personal behind any disagreements I have with any ridiculous statements people make about fictional characters. How could there be? Any perceived "meanness" is the sarcasm and teasing that go along with any friendly relationship. Author's note: If you are Bea Arthur, please do no take personal offense to me calling you ugly. I'm sure you've got a great personality. [/QUOTE]
