Vindication !!!!
*big smug smile*
CW replied to Wayne in the oobie thread and told him he WAS judgmental and that he should have given her credit for knowing her church group well enough to correctly gage how the oobie CD would fly. I give her credit for being gracious about it. I would have called him a sanctimonious prig. Because he is.
So, for those who felt we were being "too hard on Wayne", all I have to say is...
Na Na Na Boob Boob
Get it? Oobie thread? Na Na Na Boob Boob?
I crack myself up, I tell ya.

Who is CW? Off I go, to check this out.
I missed you Augie. I wish you lived up here so we could meet for coffee and dipping cookies.
*sticks out tongue*
*runs away*
Monsty - CW is CwazyWabbit. Her "oobie song" thread is page one.
I wish we were indeed neighbors. *sigh*
Nutz - HA!
I saw it and posted some support.
I need to take Nathaniel to the pediatrician today. My poor baby is so stuffed up. And the dry air from the plane ride has made his eczema flair up. It was in remission too.
Augie's mean! *pout*
Seriously, while I could see your point, I do think it was taken too far.
...but that's my opinion, feel free to ignore me and continue rubbing it in my face.
*sticks out tongue again*
I stand by everything I posted in that thread. *stands firm*
I also find it rather telling that Wayne hasn't come back to apologize to her, and I really don't think he will.
Sanctimonious prigs usually won't admit they were wrong.
*grin*
And Nutz? *poke*
That was just silly. I think she's right; she's grownup enough to know what works with her group.
Anyway, I wish Augie and Monsty both lived here, dammit.
Coco! Why are you pushing out that baby?
*grin*
*smooch*
Edit on post # 8
That should read:
Why are you NOT pushing out that baby?
*grin*
Maybe Wayne likes it *hard*.
OK, I just made myself go ewww!
ARKIE!
*smacks arkie on the nose*
Bad Arkie!
Well, I know Wayne only posts from work, so it's highly doubtful that he will be around until the weekend's over.
...and since when do we have to apologize for our opinions? That was his opinion from his point of view, even if we may not agree with his point of view (and that point of view is conservative, Southern Baptist). It's not unfathomable that someone would question that type of thing, given that is was for a "church" group.
*sighs*
I *heart* you Augie, so I hope you don't think I'm trying to be all argumentative about this. I'm really just trying to be fair, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.
...and now my head hurts from trying to go all deep!
Back to silly, frivolous Nutz!
*rubs nose*
Ow!
Nutz, you don't have a nose.

Anywho, here it is again:
Nutz, yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Even Wayne. But how about you go back and re-read his post? It starts out with "Wow, what kind of church do you belong to", then continues with "not to sound judgmental, but", and then he is completely judgmental. His entire "opinion" was ripe with sanctimonious, pious, preaching judgment. As I told him, his entire reason for posting was to piss on CW's fun. She DID NOT ask for his opinion of the appropriateness of her gag gift. She did ask for council, or opinions, or a sermon. She wanted to have a fun thread.
If he really, truly felt the need to preach to her, he could have pm'd her or emailed her privately, but he choose to post to her thread, so he opened himself up to having people like myself and Thndrkttn confront him.
And truly, my entire point of posting to him was to tell him that just because you CAN post an opinion doesn't mean you SHOULD post an opinion. And trust me, there are plenty of times I want to post my opinion, but I don't for whatever reason.
Case in point--right after Katrina hit, PRE posted a thread about how he had just bought his dream house, complete with a picture. I thought it was incredibly insensitive and crass considering so many people, including one of our own--Seahorse--had just lost their homes. Did I post my opinion? Nope. Did I try to make him feel bad for his thread? Nope. Did I piss on his fun? Nope. I kept my big mouth shut. I think Wayne should have kept HIS big mouth shut.
And you think I should have just left him alone? Well, I think he should have just left that entire thread alone. And really, WTF is such a "pious" man doing reading an oobie song thread anyway? Why did he even open the thread in the first place?
Anyone?
Bueller?
First of all... Happy New year Augie!!!
Second, again I'll just say, while I can see your point(s) I do think it was taken too far (maybe Bob said it better, "being too hard on him" and not necessarily by you, IMO).
...and I did go back and read it, but this doesn't change how I feel.
...and I am by no means agreeing with all he said, just that I can also see his point. If you'll notice, I did correct his wrongful assumption about the innappropriateness of the gift itself.
Oh goodness, I hope this is coming out as I intend. I'm not good with making my point sometimes. I am not trying to make you feel like you have to continue to debate with me. You have your opinion and I have mine and that's OK with me. I will still lvoe you even if we disagree on this.
Oh and Zombs?
*whack*
(See what I mean, I'm not good with making my point, so here I am trying to clarify it.)
...and I absolutely do not feel you should've just left him alone if you felt you needed to say something. I just feel the point was made with you're first comment and that whole thing didn't need to go any further. (further clarifying my feeling that it was taken too far) ...and I can clearly see your subsequent posts were just responses to his other comments.
In the Oobie Song thread, I asked if we could all join her church. Tee hee.
OMG, Augie! Goldie just started a new thread for some more comics. I wonder if she'll keep it going the whole year? Is it evil of me that I thought of you and *giggled*?
*innocent look*
(I'm sorry, I know I deserve a *whack* for that one.)
Monsty laid the smack down on her!
but it didn't last! She added more to the original thread! ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
Why would she think that there are copywright violations in one thread, but not in another?
*quizzical look*
I think part of the going after Wayne was not just his comments in this thread. Which, IMHO, he should have kept to himself. I also think it was an accumulation of hiw ongoing judgements in a lot of his posts. For me, I know that sometimes I just reach a point wehre I am tired of someone being judgemental and it just takes one thread for me to decide to say something. I've done it before and I'm sure I'll do it again.
*looks around*
*Guess I should visit Augie more often*
Yeah Wayne's a prig, but I get uncomfortable anytime I see someone being completely dogpiled in a thread (well, except on some of the political threads). Gangs make me nervous (even when made up of people I really like and agree with).
That's a good point Carey. I am so not like that. I guess I'm wired differently than some of you. I tend to let things slide and don't let my emotions from previous incidents build up. I like to focus on that one thing that currently needs my attention. In a way, I guess I don't hold grudges for long.
I can certainly understand what you mean, though. Mr. Nutz is like that. For example: I tend to judge each situation with our children one at a time, while he will bring up prior incidents and how they got in trouble or whatever and make it clear he thinks they're doomed to screw up before anything ever happens. ...and for the record, most of the time he is wrong and they have no problems, incidents or trouble.
I'm the kind of person who will let bygones be bygones and not let the crap build. I like to approach each day with a clean slate. He keeps it all in until one day he explodes (and tends to bring up every single wrong you've ever done in your life). I sometimes feel if I were more like him, my kids would be bound and gagged and locked up in their rooms behind bars just so they wouldn't have a chance to screw up again! I would rather they learn from their mistakes and grow from them. I can't keep them under my wing forever, they have to figure things out on their own.
As far as OT, I can honestly say that the only person I have ever felt the way you do about was AB!
(sorry, I was being long-winded)
I'm not big on gang mentality either in most cases. But when I find that someone continuosly judges other people then I don't really mind so much. I guess I have spent enough of my life being judged that I don't mind when one of those people are put in their place.
As far as the other place, for me, it's more of the people who sit on their religious high horses and think it's okay to dictate to others how they should live that get to me. I get tired of the same people constantly making others feel as if we should all live our lives the way that they feel is proper.
*shrug*
Amen, Carey! I get so frustrated with a certain cohort over there who wants sexuality and discussions about sexuality regulated just enough that thye can get their jollies but anything else (that is, anything that doesn't involve satisying their own sexual needs, physically or mentally) is forbidden and/or immoral.
HD, Your theory makes the complaints that they aren't getting enough make some sense.
Oh ICK ICK ICK
Must burn brain to remove images!
So it's okay for Wayne to be preachy and judgmental towards CW, but not okay to give him my opinion? Ohhhhh-kay.
And I think the fact that he told Tkit that he thought MY post was "tongue-in-cheek" most definitely called for me to correct that little mistake. So again, I'm ganging up on him for trying to make myself clear?
Whatever.
And now, because I am the big Kahuana of this blog, I am locking this thread.
If you wish to argue with me further regarding this matter, go argue in your own blog.
