plays the waiting game
Here’s my turn…

**That’s good to hear. Cancer is cool. I wish I’d donated money to help the poor thing. I hear scientists have been trying to kill it for years. :P:P:P **
Cancer is cool.
I wish I’d donated money to help the poor thing (cancer)
I hear scientists have been trying to kill it for years (meaning he is trying to help it because scientists are trying to kill it)
:P:P:P - means he was joking
sometimes jokes are just meant to be left unsaid.
Anywho, good job Alex, i’m glad to see you doing something productive other than sitting on the forums trying to pull an all-nighter 
I have lost many people close to me and I know how bad that feels. My friends mom died from cancer about a year ago, she is the only person I knew that had cancer.
I had to read it a couple of times because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing…
-but it looks pretty clear to me-
then I typed a longAs.s reply only to delete it over and over until I settled for and posted only my opening remark … the words I tried to write kept getting garbled in anger. I’ve lost a great many people in my life and more than I care to count to Cancer.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised - but don’t expect to be - as the alleged typo exists in every sentence, true to the same theme (that of the Cancer being the victom and the money being raised to help “it”), along w/ the laughing smillies.
quits now before rambling further
inEdit:: Ergo my ten minute ‘quick reply’ :sure:
actually, those aren’t laughing smilies… they’re sticking-tongue-out smilies, hence why you have to type : P to get them to appear. I’m not backing up Aislin, and I have no idea what he meant, and whether he was being out of order on purpose or not. if he was being truthful, then go ahead and ban or whatever. but who can judge before he’s had his say?
I hope you’re right … I actually like Aislin… in most circumstances enjoy his odd humor
then go ahead and ban or whatever
Who said anything about banning? It was just an incensitive thing he said, whether it was a joke or not (or whether it was a typo, which I doubt).
We will just have to wait for Aislin to “clear things up”.
well, this forum has never looked at those smilies as “sticking your tongue out” , and Aislin has never used them as anything other than “LOL” …
I stick by my statement that it was chickenschidt for him to post that remark then immediately leave.
Rev
so when you do :P, you dont associate it with stick your tongue out? imho it can be used in all kinds of situations, from jest (sarcasm mainly) to showing annoyance… among other things. just… tilt your head to the left a bit…
I believe Aislin types faster than his head works. He thought he was making a funny joke, but forgot to think that many people have lost loved ones to cancer. I’m sure he would have deleted it shortly after posting it and thinking about how hurtful it was to some people. But Alex had already posted 2 minutes after him, so he didn’t have much of a chance.
Good job in supporting such a worthy cause Alex.
it’s difficult being the voice of reason 
now there’s a generous outlook Nali…
sometimes the classClown forgets himself and is so caught up in throwing out the first sharp quip… that thinking just does not occur …
and ALEX: again, good job!!!

Thanks everyone!
I edited my post. I’m sorry that I didn’t check this thread again earlier. Sometimes I don’t really check back where I post, because it’s not so much a conversation thing, as a comment and leave thing.
I don’t check back on welcome threads. Etc. Please don’t be mad at me for my tendencies.
Also - thankyour Asphalt Cowboy for alerting me of everyone’s … anger… If I’d realized that this was going on without me, I would have apologized much sooner.
Again, original post has been edited. Please read.
no worries m8
btw, I dont think I ever said well done to Alex through this whole this… so:
well done alex 
I guess I should apologize for my sense of humor too. I thought the :P:P:P indicated it was a joke. That was what I was told around when I was banned, to put 
when I was joking.
Sorry if it didn’t ‘come through’ very well. I’ll try to brush up on my literary devices…
Edit: Added ‘around.’

Your apology is lackluster at best, but what can we expect. It was chicken**** of you to post and run. If you have a habit of making a comment, then never checking the thread again, maybe you should think about what comments you leave, and how necessary those comments are.
Grow up Aislin, you were banned once for your extremely insensitive sense of humor… You’d think you would learn from that experience.
<b>Just because you are joking does not make it okay to say anything you want. </b>You were the one who got upset when we were giving Canadians a bad time…
Remember, this is an electronic medium, your words will be interpreted in many ways.
And if you think that my statement above was rude, just try making another joke like this one, and you will see how rude I become.
One more time, become a positive part of this community.

Edit:
Removed because although it was very… true, it was slightly smartas sy, and I don’t want anyone to get on my case about it.
Anyways, the gist of it was, take a joke sometimes, don’t go nuts if it’s too much, have the common sense to just tell me as much, without all this… namecalling.
At least Asphalt had the brains to tell me that I was needed in the thread before calling me a … name.
Thanks.
Aislin:
I see no namecalling in this thread. I said the act of post and run was chickensh**it, nothing about you personally. I stand by that statement.
If you had read your post before you submitted it, just to see how it sounded, you wouldn’t be in this pickle now.
How can you be so insensitive. Do you joke about Deaf people too? How about people with AIDS, do you have a quick witty anectdote for them?
<b>That</b> was what all the uproar was about. If your posts were contributive to the thread, you would want to check back and see the response.
Remember, posting here is a privelidge. My suggestion: Guarantee that privelidge remains by becoming a positive part of this community, not just another teenager that can type fast. Show everyone how much you are needed here. I know it’s possible, it just takes effort on your end.

ok. enough now. issue over tbh. as much as it pains me to say it:
can we get back to brown-nosing Alex?
are you a mod, now asphalt?
I will take care of any “calming” that needs to be.
Do have a full knowledge of Aislin and my history? Do you have knowledge of what the mods have said behind closed doors?
I think not. Leave that stuff for those who do have that info.
Thanks for remaining neutral, I know you mean well, but coddling Aislin is not going to “make things better.”
BTW - Alex’s strokes have been done, he will be fine with this I’m sure.
