David's challenge

What I said was make it CLEAR you are joking.

A smilie that says 'embarrassed' doesn't reek of a joke to me either.

[Bob B]

Bob,
Are you one of those human beings who sometimes makes a comment, stops, looks behind him and then says "wow, so there's the line I just crossed"
Or are you just completely unaware of the boundaries of mutual respect and cordiality?

Hi again Garth. I was concerned with your comments and decided to see what may have offended you. I can see there may be 3 or 4 grey areas so I will list them as they appeared on the forum so you can see how your comment has me mysified.

#1
After re-reading your first post where you called yourself;

Cartman!!!!!
Because as my staff will attest, I'm most like him, or the counsellor dude with the big head!!!

Now I have no idea who "cartman" is or was and I actually misread it for "carpman". Hence my reference to; Wow!!!!!!!!!! "Carpman Garth" is more fitting LOL as it has so many expletives that can be used and still get past the Censor Nazis....LOL

There were also a number of smilies and LOL's to confirm I was just going along with what I thought at the time was your humour.

#2
Your second post queerying it surprised me when you said I was disrespecting you???? And carpman Bob?
What did I do to deserve such disrespect?

Seemed strange that you call yourself "carpman" and my comment put you offside. Hence my reply;

LOL only messin around M8. The love is here M8
You'll do anything to get you 1000 up hey LOL this is 430????

To be honest I never thought any more of it as I thought you were still grabbing for your 1000th post and having some fun with a jibe back at me.

#3
Well, I'm sorry but I thought you would see the funny side of "Fartman" seeing you called yourself "carpman". But obviously not, as you assumed I was disrespecting you and as I said previously that was never intended.

#4
I also noticed the pics I posted have been remove and I don't know if that was your doing or someone elses. Crystal and Liz seemed to see the funny side of it. So, I'm only guessing that you or one of the mediators removed them. Unfortunately there wasn't any "Editors Identity" to varify who did remove them.

And as far as your "surprise party" LOL you would have to be blind not to see or deaf not to have heard of it so I assume you were showing your humourous side.

Like I said to you once before. There are two sides to any story and more than one interpretation of ones wording!!!!

It really depends on the person or persons intentions or ability to read them in a positive or negative manner.

So, where do we go from here?

I would like to think that I am one of the more "responsible human beings" that has obviously made an error by mis-reading not only the wording but also the person involved. That being yourself Garth.

So once again you and I have misjudged each others comments and I guess it won't be the last time either. Well, that's my story believe it or not, LOL You can be the judge of that.......Cheers Bob B

[Bob B]

OMG, Hello Pete, how are you? So do people actually believe in these Smilies as true meaningful expressions and interpret the persons feelings M8?

[BigPete33]

Hi again Bob,

Funnily enough... embarrassed still means embarrassed and laughing still means laughing and winking still means winking and crying still means crying etc.

Not everyone has the same sense of humour, maybe others just don't 'get' yours.. I dunno *shrug*

[David]

Maybe I missed that part Bob, where did Garth call himself carpman?

[Bob B]

No Dave I thought he called himself carpman. This was the lead up and so on where I thought he called himself carpman.

Here you go

Ah ok
Just worded wrong, looked like you were saying Garth DID call himself Carpman.

No worries.

[Bob B]

Hi again Pete I gave myself a little test how did I go

I guess there are a lot of new things for me to lean as I am not really up with all the do's and don't as yet.

So can I assume that all or some of the above smilies are used in their correct senses and or meanings

Now don't take this as me being a smart arse either as it's my sense of humour, age and boredom gone rife LOL

[Bob B]

Ah ok

Nah just me and my brain reading what it sees not what it really said. I don't know if you are aware of how our brain can see the words even though they are spelt incorrectly.

TRY THIS AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN (and I'm not yelling it's highlighting the header LOL )
