Dnab, man, I had your back on all the konolia bullshit, but you are comin waaaay outta left field on this one. Shoot them emails for goodness sake, don't just attack mefi as a whole, damn!

Ok, let's see. Person orders product, person receives shoddy quality product that is incorrectly packed as well. Person emails customer service to get a refund and customer service tells them to suck it.

This seems like an issue AskMefi could offer help with. And yet, we're more concerned with how much they paid for it? What I want to spend my money on is my business, now just answer the damn question I asked about how to pursue my refund. Leave your own baggage at the... [more]

Turtles, I'm totally on board with a grammar nazi site. I also grit my teeth at some of the atrocious stuff around here.

Yes to timeouts. No to more work for the mods. That's probably not worth 2 cents, maybe more like .5ish.

One with a slogan as well would be cool. Like one of those "Metafilter: X"
I'm thinkin "Metafilter: $5 to join, but the snark is free"

desjardins: "CKMtl, not sure of the etymology, but there was some 90's rap tune that contained the lyrics, "I'm just a squirrel, tryin' to get a nut.""

I'm sorry I know this. That's in a Fifty Cent rap, In Da Club, I think. "In this white man's world, I'm similar to a squirrel - lookin for a slut with a nice butt to get a nut." There's also an Eazy-E rap called "Gimmie That Nut." Equally charming, I assure you.... [more]

This is some serious bullshit and I can't believe any men are trying to defend it. If there was a AskMe about "how do I avoid staring at dudes' packages at work when they're standing in front of me while I'm sitting" then would you get it? No, probably not. And to whine that thehmsbeagle doesn't have any humor? Staring inappropriately at a woman's cleavage in the workplace - not particularly a funny subject, sorry. The next logical step from, 'I'm a man, I can't control my eyes"... [more]

If I walked around with my dick hanging out of your pants...

You're right, we would have a definite problem.

Like that sentence can't be completely flipped around. Give the world a break from polarization, please.

Really? Now I haven't been around forever like some, but I'm pretty sure I have yet to see a MeTa about a guy complaining over girlzone or being creeped out by... [more]

You can not possibly get any more ridiculous than "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LOOK AT ME". We don't have the right to look at or think about you or parts of your body? Are you the thought police? Patently absurd. And to connect this with respect and feelings is only one notch less silly. Looking at a woman's exposed cleavage is being disrespectful? Having a mental opinion of a woman's breasts is not respecting her feelings? How does any of this connect.

I'm sorry hms left as well. I can completely understand though. Much further upthread I was really frustrated too but you know, you just have to walk away sometimes. Lots of guys can be sexist (and women can too, undoubtedly). Other women were making the same points as me, just in much more eloquent ways. It begins to get under your skin when guys seem to crawl out of the MeFi woodwork to say they have a right to look at your breasts, the right to say whatever they want and you should have tough...

jessamyn, my only quibble is that you've just institutionalized the idea that being a 'jerk' on Mefi is a bannable offense (subject to unwritten exceptions, hidden assumptions, variable definitions and general mod mood of the day.)

I take it you didn't see this little exchange. If they banned for being a jerk I think bruce would still be rubbing his head from a banhammer headache...

K. So I'm trying to soak up this thread. Bruce, you were worried about anyone endorsing 'thug life.' The girl ironically put up an icon with those two words and you go off on a tangent. I gave you the benefit of the doubt because hey, people can interpret things differently I suppose.

But this?

Obscure derogatory british slang indeed. That's ok, resort to name calling and fuck you's. You bitched earlier about schoolyard antics and you're obviously no better than that either. WASP on then.

Thanks ladies. Apparently bruce thought I was 'anonymous' enough that he could call me whatever he wanted. I'm fine with expressing opinions but I did think that was pretty unwarranted.

Snark = funny

Crappy, meaningless, random analogies...not so much.

Snark is part of the package around here. Keeps us on our toes. Snark on, mods.

Does the mail icon change if you have mail? Or does it show it when you mouse over it?

Or perhaps CwgrlUp's gf didn't feeling like fighting the inevitable snarkfest on my account. So yeah, MC, suck it.

I think it all matters because all these people who shit on these threads keep people from making new posts. I know I won't post to the blue cuz everyone seems to delight more in pointing out why you shouldn't have posted than having a convo about the post.
