Humour, Teasing, Acceptance and the Middle Path...

Merlin, re pm, very well put. Counselling indeed. Lol. Honestly, what is the problem here? If we are permitted a permanent thread for irreverence, no one's sensibilities should be affected. This should be viewed as a sincere attempt at compromise, rather than a tug of war over who is right and who is wrong. IMHO.

We already have a Humour thread Shali, its just jokes there, which have there place, but spontaneous humour is created by the interplay between other subjects and posts?

I expressed myself poorly Merlin. By irreverence I meant all things frivolous or silly, especially flirting. These interactions are not available on the Humour thread.

Yes but how would that work if a separate thread, divorced from the source of the spontaneity created in other threads, I don't do irreverence for its own sake?
 

Yup, Merlin is right, the twists and turns make the initial threads interesting, funny and irreverent at times...
 
Good, and let this be a reminder to you, and the other ladies who visit here, that the male perspective is usually the correct one...
 
No, no, it was there from the beginning, as God was a male and he realized that males are better suited to make the decisions that guide earthly matters, and it is evident that this was correct...

Sort of but its not a room for partying, more for a one to one counselling session, and no windows :)

You could start your own thread.. "For Flirting and Teasing only" could be a name... and just keep it going like the "What's on your agenda" thread with 200+ pages.. that way those of us that want to read that stuff can go there... and those of us that don't want to... don't have to wade through it before getting to the topic. Sound like a plan?

Oh sure.... and I'll curtsey as I scroll by page after page of wine and cheese just to find out if anyone is actually discussing the topic. Problem is... I have to figure out if there is a one finger curtsey. JUST TEASING...... hahahahahaha
 
Now, now, ladies, kindly calm down and accept the natural laws of the universe and, thus, this forum...

Humour is a good way to de-escalate tension and valuable in its own right.

However, when a topic in the Current News and Hot Topics section degenerates into a group flirting session the middle path I take is the one that leads to the exit.

But you shouldn't have to do that (leave). A few people tell me they've reported the disruptions, but nothing was done. Moderation should step in, and since that's not being done members need to speak out.

The “aw shucks, we’re just trying to inject some humor and anyone who doesn’t like it should move on” rationale is BS.

Humor? Acceptance? Really? :rolleyes: Why should members be forced to wade thru several pages of “cutesy”, corny, repetitious, self-serving off-topic garbage in order to get back to the discussion of the topic? It’s always the same handful of people who are desperate for attention and don’t know when to quit. THEY are the ones who need to move on.

I received several positive rep comments and also a few PMs. Only 1 of the PMs was unfavorable, so we agreed to disagree and that’s okay.
