Karl,
You make a good point. We all sometimes forget to feed the humor gland. But
yet there is always good information if we look closely at the content. For
example, we see how diverse the vanagon group is. We also see how easy it is
to offend and be offended. We see how irresistible it is for some to attempt
humor at the expense of others and how we seem to accept criticism and
insult as a valid form of humor.
One thing a friend is fond of saying is that for people who love animals,
why do you eat them? Another friend remarked to me that some vegans still
wear leather (leather belts, leather shoes.)
I've only been a member of this vanagon group for two months but I think I
have my finger on the pulse of the group as a whole. To me the group seems
pretty typical and is a cross section of Americana. I do not think most
people intended to insult or flame others, but made a genuine attempt to
tickle the funny bone. And also there are a few on this list who are
genuinely mean in spirit. I feel sorry for anyone whose life is so filled
with unhappiness that they need to publicly insult others. You know who you
are and so does everyone on the list because you reveal yourself in how and
what you say.
So if you still feel the need to flame, sock it to me. Bring it on. I love
it and I love to see who you are. As for me I am done with responding to the
one versus the other thread and am only interested in useful content.
I've heard that gland meats are healthy so tomorrow (Friday) I am going to
add some humor gland and brain to my veggie meal and sprinkle it liberally
with spirulina.
