It has been brought to my attention that some people may see my avatar as offensive. I will probably change it if it bothers anyone but I want to know specifically why.

I don't find it offensive in the least, it's hard to be offended by the general lee.

I would imagine that it's meant to be as inflammatory as the website you link? Displaying the battle standard of a long-dead army is weird; displaying it with a frog and beer on top suggests you're attempting to be insulting again. I don't know the person it's aimed at (although it's utterly charming of you to post her address) and at least she probably has the maturity not to insult people for no reason on random websites.

Yes, it's a bit more offensive now. What on earth?

Wow. That is probably one of the most disturbing web sites I've ever seen. Image

Website? Gah, I see none.

Edit- Found it, and to be honest, that is one of the most immature websites i've ever seen. Okay, whoever that Mary person is may be ugly, but jees, do you not think she has feelings?

Well it certainly wasn't meant to be offensive to the general public. Just to Miss Parks if anyone. I think you'll find that my views of her are justified if you read the Language page and the Evidence page. As stated in the credits all information is as accurate as possible. Some of my friends and I have even come up with some logical explanations for the reason she acts the way she does on our Theories page. The only reason it is insulting at all to her is because of the terminology which has been proven accurate in the evidence page. So it's only telling the truth about an unpleasant person.

I think of it as a more positive outlet for anger and disgust than actually doing any harm. There's nothing wrong with telling the truth.



And in responce to my guest book I have written this:
Guest Book wrote:Yes, I have thought of her feelings in fact that was a grave mistake on my part. She has used my trust and concern for her against me and so I take joy in telling others about the flaws that I overlooked before she treated me like dirt.

Okay, fine, you hate this chick. (Which I'm sure is TOTALLY justified *eyeroll*) But does that mean you have to post her freaking address? That's like, breaking interweb rule #1. I know trolls who didn't stoop to that.

EDIT: I voted "Yes, I don't like toads or beer" because there wasn't a "Yes, I don't like it when people are total jerks to someone else behind their backs."

EDIT 2: Wow, you seem bitter. Get over it.

She gives her address out to everyone anyway so I didn't see how it made a difference. On 4 separate occasions I've heard her give out all her personal information to complete strangers without even talking to them for 2 minutes. If you have a better suggestion for what to do about this person I'd like to hear it. I've actually considered trying to make her life better and forgive her but she just doesn't care and I'm too busy to be spending my time smacking myself against a wall.

Well, I didn't have it before now.

Have you ever considered the sane, reasonable option of just, you know, putting her out of your mind?

Does it also occur to you that we probably all know people like this? People who may be terribly human beings and perhaps even deserving of it...but we don't do what you did.

How does that make you better than she is?

It's her right to give out her address. It's not your right to post it on the Internet.

You want to hate this girl and devote a website to her? Fine. Just don't involve us in this by linking us to that page.

I don't think what you're doing is any cooler than what you say she does.
