Sorry for the Downtime

:smiley:

There was that one guy earlier in the year, when new episodes were still airing, who seemed to just be confrontational about any spiritual points of view on the show and whose presence here seemed merely a way to promote his own blog. He ended up becoming the only person on this forum that I’ve ever ignored.

I mean, except for those times when GR just goes nuts with the innuendoes and overdoes it; but that’s a bit different. :smiley:

[shamelessflirt]See? See, how important I am to you? ;)[/shamelessflirt]

Keara is shamelessly flirting with me because she sent me a “Friends Request”, and I have not officially accepted yet. I’ve told her my staff needs 4 to 6 weeks to review a potential new friend.
She will be carefully analyzed and evaluated.
Flirting and bribes will not work…much…:wink:

Mine got accepted immediately. Thot knows not to mess with the Ranger. No flirting needed there.

Well, a little bit of flirting doesn’t hurt.

I like the “Break Friendship” button. Anytime I want, I can just dump whoever I choose. Sweet.:smiley:

Something you should know about me: I don’t flirt. I lie.

I like the “Break Friendship” button. Anytime I want, I can just dump whoever I choose. Sweet.:smiley:
In which case, I’ll kick you out of the gutter. You can play with the arm porn kids then.

:smiley:

I think we might be starting to see the problems with the new features…:confused:

Oh yeah! Well, I’ll form a group and kick you out of it too.:smiley:

(I think the Tower of Babel may be falling here…)

What-eva…I think this has become a bit too much work. And given the day I’ve had with one of the the most important IRL relationships in my life becoming a lot of work, I’m not up for this game right now. Feel free to do what you will. I don’t have the energy to care right now.

Eeek. I was just playing…Sorry if I crossed the humor line. I don’t know why, but I love the irony of formally digitally becoming friends with folks I already feel friendship for in the first place.

I’m such a dunce—it took me a bit to figure out what “IRL” stands for.

Yeah I remember that guy… I feel guilty blocking people, or defriending people, or whatever. Maybe they’ll change. And then I would miss it.

I should totally just listen to my prof who tells us to leave out any examples that disprove your point… I always feel the need to refute them, too. Alas.

Oh, yeah, those are very, very necessary on this blog. But anyway, looks like I was close, this very thread’s tagged ‘frakkintag’ already. That wasn’t you, was it?

I see we have started following Sean’s lead in attaching apostrophe everywhere. This ongoing degradation of English grammar fills me with great ambulance.

No, the apostrophe represents missing letters, in this case the ‘t’, as in ‘want ta’. This practice goes back to the middle-ages when paper was expensive. I’m not degrading the language, I’m maintaining its traditional degradations.

Nah, dude… I wasn’t trying to get on your case for it. I was just kidding. I’m merely trying to follow Audra’s recommendation to use the phrase “with great ambulance” in a sentence in a random situation. I guess it doesn’t work quite as well in writing as it does in speech.

I’m all in favor of maintaining a constant rate of degradation. It’s the same philosophy I apply to my own physical and mental health.

Thanks, Chuck, for the upgrades! Awesome! ;p

Oh, I’m ok. It was a good excuse - like I need one - for a historical digression :slight_smile:

Thank you Chuck for all the work. I do not want to be paranoid but could you educate me about this friend thing. I would have responded yes in the forums since everyone who sent me a please be my friend is a friend. What worries me is I am getting email about it. Saying I will be a friend does it give the person my email address? I know that 99% of the GWC are responsible and never would abuse the situation, but well I am paranoid with my personal email.

AFAIK, the ‘friend’ thing doesn’t really do anything now.

FWIW, I’m currently ignoring ‘friend’ requests, since around here they’re kind of redundant. :wink:

I’m with you buddy. I have accepted anyone who has reached out…but I am not sure how I feel about the whole friends bit and making groups bit.

We are all Alpacas. Until I see value in changing that model, I am going to stick to it.
