I had an "I hate adults" thread yesterday that basically degenerated into a bunch of posters I don't know assuming I was a child, and then, based on this faulty assumption, flaming like flames were going out of style.

I think it's important to remember that YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING about other posters except what they tell you, and if you miss that information, you're fumbling in the dark for something to base your prejudices on.

It can be a learning experience if you let it. Like the time I thought Occidio Multus was a white racist guy:)

But if you don't learn from it, you wander around general, making wild assumptions, missing sarcasm, taking things too seriously, and generally looking like an ass.

That's my piece of wisdom for the day.

Poor U, it always gets a battering. She's just a letter int the alphabet. Pick on the D

It's clear from that comment that you are a wheelchair bound senior citizen woman with one glass eye. Sorry U, now you look like an ass.

By the way, Legless...why are you assuming that U is a male???????? Huh!!??

one usually has to make assumptions about appearance and background. can you read a book without imagining the characters or surroundings? it's pretty hard to enjoy one if you can't.

Well actually, now I look at it, it should be a she because of the shape

That is just the type of crap I would expect from a bigoted white South African like yourself. Go have an apartheid you waste of space.

Actually, as per Felix Unger, the FULL quotation is, "When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME!"

Because it looks like a snake?
