"Excuse me sir, but do you know Mrs. Appleblossom?"

@HiImDan Said

A man sits in a bar, reading a newspaper. Suddenly he is tapped on his shoulder by another man: "Excuse me sir, but do you know Mrs. Appleblossom?"
The man folds up his newspaper, coughs slightly and replies: "just a moment sir", after which he takes out a little black notebook. "A, A, A... [finding the name in the book] yes, actually I do know Mrs. Appleblossom.".
He puts the notebook back into his inside pocket picks up the newspaper and continues reading. The other man taps his shoulder again: "Excuse me sir, but have you been to bed with Mrs. Appleblossom?"
The first gent puts the newspaper down again, finds his notebook and checks: "B, B, B... ahh, yes, I have been to bed with Mrs. Appleblossom"
He starts putting the notebook away when he once again is tapped on the shoulder: "Excuse me sir, but I am Mr. Appleblossom, and I am very disappointed"
"D, D, D... ahh... yes sir, so was I!"

You sling an awful lot of insults for someone who claims that "love is the answer."

Just saying. You might consider changing your signature to something a little more honest.

@JR_Sanford Said

Insult? So, my honest opinion about something makes you think I'm insulting them? Just because I love someone doesn't mean I like what they do. That "joke" (I use the term lightly) was NOT funny in my opinion. My first thought was, "What a lame attempt at a joke."

You obviously thought my reply to the "joke" was lame.

Ok.

Now answer me this: What exactly were you hoping to accomplish with your post, if not to insult Dan? If you didn't like the joke, fine, what's wrong with simply shrugging and closing the thread? Would that have been too nice?

Seriously, please answer the question, what did you accomplish?

@JR_Sanford Said

Listen. An insult is directed towards a person. Labeling a "joke" "lame" is my opinion of the attempt to be humorous failed and is directed at the verbiage NOT the writer of the joke. Now if I said, "Dan, you tell lame jokes" would be directed towards him.

So, what I accomplished was letting Dan know that I the THE JOKE was lame in my opinion. If he could care less about my opinion then that's his choice. The fact that you spouted off instead of him is letting your co-dependency slip out.

Saying a joke he told was lame is more or less the same as saying he tells lame jokes. Let's not pretend it isn't, okay?

What I'm getting at is, how is his having the information that you think his joke is lame of any use whatsoever to him? Or really...to you? Again...what did it accomplish other than to be rude and negative to him? You can't really say it was constructive criticism, so what was the point?

I honestly wouldn't be making such an issue of this, but I've seen you do similar things to other people here and it's irritating to a lot us, and creates some poor opinions of you. See, that's constructive criticism...that's something you can take and improve upon. If I just said your post was lame it wouldn't really be useful to anyone, would it?

And if that's codependancy (which by the way, it isn't), I don't apologize.

Here's a fact. Everyone has their own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. See, you took my reply as an insult, even though I used the same syntax as was in the joke."L,L,L" My statement of "Lame" was the term I used meaning I viewed the "joke" as weak, unsatisfactory, and lacked hitting my funny bone. I've kudoed Dan repeatedly for some of his jokes.

Dan, I apologize for making an insensitive remark to you. I spouted off at the keyboard without first considering your feelings.

I do appreciate your feedback.
