Would you ever post the contents of a private message?

Hey! JHC is my cousin.

You've got a few mistakes in there...I corrected them for you.

Poster # 2: I asked because I am interested to know what it means.
Poster # 1:Total meltdown

Later that night, poster #2's husband tells her he didn't get the reference either, but that LJ's picture of the dog's balls made him laugh to the point of tears. He also chides poster #2 for bringing conflict wherever she goes...Poster #2 told him to shove it.

That was a meltdown? Um, er, eh, who isn't letting it go?

I don't expect you, or your husband, to get any of my jokes. Despite your 38000 on the ACT, I've not been impressed with your stellar intelligence.

Just keep doing your one trick, pony. When you stray from that you get lost, confused, and paranoid.

(total paranoid freak who thinks she should be the center of everyone's thoughts beginning to get suspicious that poster #2 might be attacking her when in fact she just didn't get the joke.)

Laughable. Again, I say you have NEVER been interested in any thing I've said before (even a few lame attempts to be nice to you) until you think it has something remotely to do with you.

I think I should be the center of everyone's thoughts? When someone else gets the tiniest bit of attention you start bumping your ass shots, or posting your pasty-looking pasties. As far as lazy, that's even funnier...I have no problem typing this; I must have felt more like you're not worth the effort. So, Lazy for Labrat.

Now, go lay down.

Yeah, you should have let it go.

[LabRat]

Well, You are right about one thing. I should have let it go.

My apologies to the rest of the Cellar.

[HungLikeJesus]

Oh, no! Now even the cool kids are getting hot.

[That's intended as a compliment to both of you.]

[lookout123]

why is it that every thread lately seems to devolve into a personal battle where people have to pick sides? It feels like the cellar has been replaced with an online version of Big Brother.

[Undertoad]

In this deeply fractured society, it is now an option to believe that the other side is not just incorrect, not just wrong, not even just stupid, but actually broken.

Jimbo...thanks for the PM big fella.

It's nice that you feel that way about me, but honestly, remember that you're a married man!

[lumberjim]

jinx doesn't mind if i send pictures of myself in nothing but hipwaders and a sombrero to people as long as i swear them to secrecy. so....it's cool, baby.

[Aliantha]

But what about the one with the rooster in it?

[lumberjim]

that's a cock.

[Aliantha]

Yeah...the big black one.

[bigw00dy]

Im all about getting PM's
(although I never get them)

[lumberjim]

i got a long pm last night. it contained a message that i think should have been put right in a thread. should i treat it as confidential? the person made no mention of secrecy or confidence. just demands that I change what I do. I think it's worse to try to influence behind the scenes than it is to spill a pm like this.

someone referred to 'the word on the street' today.....made me think they'd been chatting back and forth in pm about someone else.

lame

[bluecuracao]

Ask 'em whether they mind if you bring it to the light of day--I'm all curious now.
