Hey Stormy,

I now understand why you have so much trouble understanding what that guy TinT writes about in his posts. When I said bad joke, I didn't mean bad as far as offensive or with questionable content, what I meant by "bad" was that the joke was horrible, it stunk, it was stupid. We all lost several hundred brain cells by reading it.

Here is a better one!

A guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde.
He immediately turns to her and makes his move.

"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you
strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to
the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the guy. "What about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me

ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff - grass.

Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty,

and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that
is?"

The guy is dumbfounded!! Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest
idea!"

"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to

discuss nuclear power when you don't know crap?"

Hey Stormy,

May I ask what is the problem with only having 6/7 posts, is this a contest to see who can post the most? I have a job, if I am expected to post 783 posts here, it will take me an awful long time to get there.

You suggested this:

A simple "No I meant bad as in it was a bad joke" would have worked.

I asked this:

I know I am knew here but do ya think that we could have a seperate joke section, especially for the bad ones?

In my mind they are one in the same, it just went over your head. You seem to be the only negative moderator that this forum has, explain why you are in that position and why you are so negative. This post that you wrote to me is exactly why you had trouble with Mr. Troubled. Is there a pattern developing?

Even before I joined, I read answers and explanations from Mollie, Ansy and the rest of the moderators, none of them have the lack of patience that you display.

John

Usually I stay out of little battles such as these, however I am finally getting annoyed.  Sarcastic jokes are great, when they are understood to be sarcastice, otherwise they can be taken as being just plain rude. When something is said to be sarcastic, so it can be taken as a joke or what not with no negative connotation I tend to put a smiley face or the tounge blower. 

John, not all of your posts have been negative, I've looked through your posting, you gave some great info on Wolf Hybrids that you found on the net.  Yet you response to Grim in another thread could be taken as negative or rude.   (Again that's why I tend to do smileys in the hope nobody takes offense)

If you were meaning it as it was a bad horrible terrible joke, that is your opinion.  Sometimes it's the bad jokes that make you giggle or the stupid jokes that make a person say DOH! that was so stupid it was kinda funny.  Personally I didn't find your joke funny, but Tuna's was.  

It is all a different person's opinion.  To tell Stormy "Hey Stormy,

I now understand why you have so much trouble understanding what that guy TinT writes about in his posts. " When she was simply responding to your question about there being a bad joke question was rude.  You deserved a rude response.  You started being negative to her with that response.  So in turn she retorted back. 

 

I apologize if this is inappropriate however I felt something needed to be said. 

 You seem to be the only negative moderator that this forum has, explain why you are in that position and why you are so negative.

She's in that position because she was an excellent and obvious choice for a moderator here.  Why is she so negative?  Maybe because in order to understand the negativity you displayed by making your first post (when others already posted that they liked it), she had to get down on your level.

This post that you wrote to me is exactly why you had trouble with Mr. Troubled. Is there a pattern developing?

Yes, there is a pattern with you and TnT (no, that didn't go over my head......just turned it around for you).  You both post sparatically.  We all want to know more about the both of you, and regardless of any previous fights, we all want to see you post here regularly....and become a part of our community.  We don't all always get along, but at the end of the day we are ok with it.  Get to know Tuna...you just might find you a new buddy.  He's just a klutz like some of the rest of us.....(ok...just me...lol).

Even before I joined, I read answers and explanations from Mollie, Ansy and the rest of the moderators, none of them have the lack of patience that you display.

I can't speak for others, but my own patience has allowed me to keep certain members around for too long sometimes, disrupting the flow of the board.  We are all different people and we all do things differently.

John, we welcome your posts here and we hope to see lots more of them.  Unfortunately, this board has a history that you aren't aware of.   Allow us the opportunity to get to know you......we can't do that with just 8 posts.  When you came here you mentioned that you had Irish Setters and that you were a Yankees fan.......thats the last we've heard of either.

Not all jokes will appeal to everyone.  I think you are smart enough to know that, but please don't go making comments like that when you stumble upon a joke that you don't find funny.  Asking if we can have a certain folder for jokes is one thing, but asking if we can have a folder for the bad ones (implying that because you don't find it funny - it shouldn't be here) is another.  It was just an unnecessary way of asking.

I'd love to see pics of your Setters.  They are one of my favorite breeds.  Also, what do you do for a living?  Hopefully, you can find some time to relax and enjoy this place.....and we can get to know you better.  Maybe that will help relieve any chance of mis-communications later on.

Now that I have called Tuna a klutz.....Im gonna run for cover.....no, in all seriousness.....I'm sure he knows I was only joking.....why?  Because even though I haven't talked to him a whole lot, I have talked to him enough to know that he knows how to take me - and thats whats important here.

John I think it is my opinion that it might have been best if you haven't responded to this post once stormy responded.
