BTW - Alex’s strokes have been done, he will be fine with this I’m sure.

i dont mind at all. I have made my point in my first post. 
walks away
Let me say this:
My mom die of cancer 3 jears ago amd I dealt with it. I don’t care what other people say, even if it’s unintensionally rude and harsh. I could actually laugh at Aislin’s post, 'cause it was too outrageous to even be considered true. The :P:P:P made it clear that it was meant as a joke.
The way I see it, is that reverendflash chose to ignore those signs. As he so nicely put it, ‘*Remember, this is an electronic medium, your words will be interpreted in many ways.
*’.
And I would have to say that it is a subject not to be toyed with: cancer is not cool. I would think twice before posting a joke that could be so easely be misenterpreted(sp?). Remember: not everyone thinks as you. Hell, there are few people who think just like you.
Just my 2 cents on the subject.
I forgot all about the great effort Alex has made. :trout:
Now let’s all hope that the cure will be found soon! :praises:
actually, I didn’t ignore the smilies, I assumed Aislin was joking. I agree with your jist however.
I just thought the joke was in terrible taste, and it should be said so, in public.
I am not angered, I have not called anyone a name. I am just trying to let Aislin know that this kind of humor does not belong here. Instead, he is trying to minimize the damage, and is playing it off as a whim. Aislin needs to know that he is responsible for every word he posts, and if he jokes like this in the world outside of the computer, he will prob get his face punched in, rather than a stern comment from a mod.
All Aislin had to do was give a heart felt apology instead of a “I guess I should apologize” half-felt reply. If that had happened, like any mature person would have done, then none of this nonsense would have happened.
The sad part is, Aislin will prob ignore this thread now.
Rev
I see.
The sad part is, Aislin will prob ignore this thread now.
Well, wouldn’t it be stupid and a total suckup if he apologises wholehartedly now, after all that time?
I meant when he originally found out about this thread…
not now…
Aislin will be Aislin.
[edit] meaning that he is in control of his own life, I can’t dwell on the insensitivities of one person [/edit]
Rev
Sooo… anyone for shrimp?

writes that one down
Rev: You shouldn’t have told off Asphalt. He was the only sensible one in this thread. Calling me down because I didn’t look at a thread is cheap, immature, and very un-mod-like in my opinion. Asphalt is the only reason I came here to apologize. If he hadn’t mentioned it to me, I wouldn’t have known I’d done anything wrong. And by ‘anything wrong’ I meant offended people.
I’m glad I came back here to apologize to Alex. But not you, at least not anymore. You didn’t want an apology, you just wanted another reason to yabber about why I’m a chicken****. What is this junk about knowing me? Knowing my one incident where I said “codecs suck?” Wow. You’ve got my record.
At least [M] has enough sense to see things as they are, and Alex and the rest who are a bit too attached to the subject can forgive it.
FYI: I won’t be posting in this thread again. But I might not ignore it. I want to see what last words you have in store for me.
Sorry I got you into this Asphalt.
Quick Edit Before I Leave This Post Alone: by too attached I mean more attached than me. Some can take a joke, while some are more sensitive towards a subject. I can respect that. Still, the let it lie thing still applies with them. Forgive and Forget.
no worries m8, we make our own choices and decisions
Aislin:
I never called you chicken****. I called your actions chicken****.
Think about this:
You are in a room with lots of people, and you can hear what everyone else in the room is saying. Would you tell that joke in that room, so everyone in the room could hear you? I think not.
Asphalt was saying that the whole thing was a typo. You have said it wasn’t. You didn’t get him involved, he got himself involved and ended up taking some flack for it.
[m] said the same things I have said many times, but you chose to listen to his words, and take offense at mine.
You are defending your right to make tasteless jokes about cancer. Do you really want to make this your stand?
My point about knowing you was not meant to imply that I knew you, but rather that asphalt did not have adequate knowledge to be your champion and defend you (he was wrong about your post being a typo).
I’m not sure what you mean by calling you down. I have not made this personal, you have. I have never called you a name, just said that your comment was tasteless, and insensitive. I stand by that comment.
If you don’t know that making a tasteless joke about cancer or any other poor taste subject, then you shouldn’t make jokes, especially in an electronic medium.
I can’t believe you are taking this so personally, and that you won’t just learn from your mistake, and move on.
One more time. I have not personalized this in any way. I’m just the one who wants to make sure that you know that this kind of joke does not belong here… ever. You should know this.
Rev
gives up :sigh:
[size=1]oh, and fyi, the ‘typo theory’ was simply an example. I said that he should be given the benefit of the doubt, until he logs back on to explain himself.[/size]
I have no beef with you asphalt.
I have no beef with Aislin for that matter.
He feels he is being picked on, but that will pass. Hopefully, he will exhibit a little common sense next time.
Rev
I have no beef at all, I’m a vegetarian 
speaking of which… you got any shrimp left?
[size=1](and where the hell have you gone now? :*()[/size]
actually, doesnt matter. I’m so worn out by this thread… (and the fact that it’s 3am)… I’m going to bed. night all
prays that the forums will return to normality by dawn 
This thread is going in forbidden once I am out of the shower. . . .either that or I am going to delete all the negative posts!
I’m glad I didn’t see this thread until now. Had I found it after the first few posts it may have gotten a little ugly.
abzoid (aka Rev’s brother)
I never knew Rev had a brother on here! Welcome, even though you are not new!
I will wait for Rev to get back because I want to at least tell him before I delete the whole part where this thread got bad, I don’t have to but out of respect.
