First, I would like to say that if I have offended you, SnowCalico, I am heartily sorry. You seemed, from your posts, to be someone who was not easily offended and who might even enjoy a joke at her own expense. If this is not the case, I apologize. Second, if you are easily offended, you've come to the wrong group. May I suggest alt.bible.study instead? Third, <cartman>Get your bitch ass out to that kitchen and fix me some pie!</cartman>
If you're up for a flame-war, I'll give you one, but personally, I think it would be a waste of time. Let's get back to important subjects, like what Kenny says in the opening titles. I don't think that's been discussed enough. <heavy sarcasm>
First off, theres a fine line between sexual harassment and a joke at ones expense. Asking if anyone would like to see a GIF of me wrapped up in a Windows 95 manual is sexula harrasment, saying AOL is a bad server is a joke at my expense.
I am quite strong in my catholic faith and d*mn proud to. And I can take jokes, just making me feel embarassed is (heaven forbid) a step to far.
Who wants a flame war? I just want to be treated right. And if you're not going
to apologize, at least don't go into a sarcastic one. I want to end this now
to, but I just want to let you know where I stand.

No one's "sexually harrassing" you, Catharine MacKinnon, and if it's onething I can't stand, believe me, it's women who use the words "sexual harrassment" so indiscriminately that the phrase loses all legitimate meaning. Don't get me started on that subject, because I WILL NOT back down on it. But I did legitimately mean the part about believing that you had a sense of humor. And AOL is a bad server, so schtoom.
So who's making fun of your being a Catholic? Don't accuse me of"religiously harrassing" you too. . . . "Making you feel embarrassed" now constitutes "sexual harrassment"? If so, then too bad for you since it happens to everyone--except than men don't have "sexual harrassment" as an excuse to hide behind. Just my luck. May I also suggest alt.chip.on.my.shoulder for your personal amusement? If it's any consolation, Kenny's one of my two favorite characters, and I root for the dirty little bastard everytime he appears on screen.
I probably shouldn't be butting in here but that sounds like sexual
harassment to me. The basic definition of sexual harassment is any unwanted
sexually oriented attention that makes the reciever embarrassed or
uncomfortable.
I'm no expert but it appears that Miss Calico is pretty uncomfortable with
what you said. It is not your place to decide weather she was harassed or
not... It is hers.
You go on to argue that the post was written in jest, good humor. It
doesn't matter if you meant it as a joke or not, if she doesn't like it its's
harrassment. Granted, it's not a very serious case of sexual harassment, but
don't fool yourself into thinking you're right. Your not.
It always has. That's the basis of sexual harassment, the embarrasement felt by someone due to unwanted durragortory remarks.
That's a ridiculous statement. Are you suggesting that men can't be sexually harassed? You're a real crass individual huh? Of course men can be sexually harassed.. it's just many guys wouldn't admit to it because thier too caught up being manly. I have a feeling your one of those guys.
You know, if you were a real man you would stop making all these petty little insults and apoligize to the girl. Then again, if you were a real man you wouldn't of written the tasteless post in the first place.
If you are really looking to bury the hatchet why do you keep on fanning the flame?
Guys...you need to lay off the cough syrup, alright? Seriously, i'm worried about you man...
if this is a real problem, posting it for everyone to see on a newsgroup isnt going to solve it, it's just going to attract attention from others...like me :)
i agree...the gif picture thing maybe a bit below the belt...but that type of slam is pretty much tame compared to flames i've seen...
let's all just sit around the campfire and sing "kumbaya" k?
Cancer Kazoo's ready?

All right, I'm not the most PC guy there is. Personally, I think it's a load of shit, but that's just me. The post was obviously, IMHO, made in jest. While it may not have been in the best taste, a joke it was nonetheless. I would be a bit perplexed and rather flattered if asked for a similar pic of myself, but again that's just me.
How is that a joke at your expense? I don't see how it's a joke at all.
