This is a Mormon chat and forum board, and recently it's become a slew of the most recent Internet trolling memes. Rickrolling, and now an "Amish" computer virus. I guess as a computer science major these things annoy me more than they should. Either way, I would like to see us get back to general discussion that is USUALLY in the Gen Disc board.That's all I have to say.Alexis Quote

I actually had no idea it was ever a meme. Find it offensive if you'd like, but that was not my intention. And I posted this where I thought appropriate; the mods are free to move it if they decide it fits better somewhere else. Let them decide what belongs here and what doesn't. Quote

As wingnut said, the general discussion is officially described as:Topics of any nature are allowed, as long as they do not break LDS Talk RulesThis does comply with that. It's humour, nothing else. I could understand a computer science major/geek/nerd having issues with fake/scam e-mails being forwarded to all and sundry, but I'm not aware of them generally having a lack of humour.The usual advice given to people who don't like a thread is simply not to open that particular thread in future.

I find your blind jokes distasteful and offensive.AND I see your elitist communication via the written word. Just because people like me are illiterate doesn't mean you can shut us out!

miztrniceguy Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 I thought it was engineers that have no sense of humor. Pam, you're making half-baked judgments. Quote

alexis Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 I apologize for my comments. I was in an unusually bad mood that night and I was in no mood for playful games. *Just ask Soulsearcher. I was talking to him on Chat that night* I did read the rules and I was absolutely in the wrong. I hope that you can forgive me for this unsightly incident. Alexis Quote
MichaelCraig Posted December 15, 2010 Report Posted December 15, 2010 Oh, so now we're making midget jokes? I thought you were above that, Dravin. Your "sense of humor" is very dark and offensive! Oh I KNOW someone didn't just make a midget joke. Now I'M offended..... me being a "Vertically challenged" person. The Little People's Association WILL be forwarded this and I'm sure legal action will be taken....in short order. (And I thought Dravin was a nice guy.) Quote
