Hey, I'm a maiden aunt.
This just occurred to me today, and for some reason I think it's hilarious.
I think I'll buy a petticoat.

God I love Jimmy Stewart. All time favorite actor.
Probably for me, too.Quote:

Such a weird, awkward, totally random blow-up.
It's coming from a forum moderator too. (or "supporter") Very uncool of the forum to allow that.
It was A JOKE.Quote:

I was surprised by how many people seemed to agree with the guy, that it's none of her business, blah blah blah.
Her post was seemed like she was genuinely just looking for some advice that she could pass along to him.
People are weird.
What's a joke? Was the first poster an alt?Quote:

I have to agree with Duke - even if it was a joke, it wasn't a very funny one.
If I was posting for the very first time on a forum and that was the response I received, I'd never post there again either.
I'm in the 'crazy Jeep guy is comedy gold' camp.
Whether you think it's funny or not is one thing, I just can't believe you guys thought that was a serious reply.
I think the OP will live to fight another day. If that was a reply to my question on a message board I would stay there for life.
No one said anything about it being serious or not serious.Quote:

Pranks are funny to the people who are on the right side of it.

Yeah sorry I deducted that you thought it was serious. Don't know where I got that from.
A joke doesnt have to be funny. There are good ones and bad ones, but they are still jokes.
You're only reading what you want to read here... I said what's the point of a joke? To be funny is the answer. Not whether it was or was not funny. I laughed at it. A lot. And posted it on my FB, Twitter and other forums.
Who's he trying to be funny to? The forum members. Who is on the wrong side of the joke? The OP.
Allowing this kind of behavior on a forum is unethical if the forum relies on new members for internet traffic and membership fees. That's why I made the post I did. This would result in a temp ban on most forums.
UNLESS, the OP was an alt. And the whole post was staged. Imagine if every new member was treated like this? It wouldn't be too funny after a while.
Yeah, I wouldn't appreciate a response like that to my first post on a forum.
But whatever. Everyone's different.
I don't like unchecked hostility towards me from a person I've just met, regardless of whether it's meant to be funny or not.

And that is why you're wrong.Quote:

Being a dog lover myself, and also knowing the feeling of a beloved dog passing away, I cannot contain my tears watching it.
