I agree QFF, lighten up.

A lot people don't seem to be able to understand that without provocative members, forums would be boring as all hell. I feel sorry for people who can only deal with beige normality.

Sound familiar?

Quoting Canuckpaxguy (Reply 5):

I'm flattered.

And in accordance with such a statement, yes, I did find the "joke" a little beige.

I'm certainly not offended so there is no need to tell me to "lighten up" (must give you all a bit of a power trip to say it though).

I just think if you MUST attack the French (and it has been done once or twice) - at least inject a little wit into it.

canuckpaxguy · Fri Jul 22, 2005 12:37 pm

You've got a mighty large chip on your shoulder QFF. You don't have to be 'offended' to be told to lighten up. Perhaps we should have said "loosen up" so that whatever was up your ass could be dislodged.

Would you have understood that better? I'm sure I wouldn't be the first person to say that to you.

Talking to you doesn't give me a power-trip. How very highly you must think of yourself to suggest such a thing.

I've said it before, (albeit as a joke previously), and I'll say it again: Loosen up QFF.

No one was attacking France.

Go nuts. This is far more entertaining.

For the recond, I acknowledged in my post that my suggestion that you may have something lodged within you was NOT original. I fully noted that I assumed MANY people had said it to you previously.

I retract my comment suggesting that you lighten up. I wouldn't want to "direct you to conform in a maternalistic way".

Dude, you're the only one keeping this going. Perhaps a time out for a little perspective might not be such a bad idea. Re-read your posts, man. You're the one raising the temperature up another notch each time. Nobody is bashing France. The map came to a.net by way of France, so ease up a bit. At this point, your increasingly aggitated posts are starting to become more amusing than the original map.

QFF

canuckpaxguy · Fri Jul 22, 2005 3:32 pm

I'm going to regret this but....

When I said, "go ahead, throw a tantrum" it was in reference to your refusal in a previous post to take my 'maternalistic advice to adhere to the norms of society' and lighten-up. I was not suggesting that your previous comments were tantrums...you were.

Qantas, let me address some of your points, as we have clearly had some communication break-down, and it's important to straighten this out.

I've drawn no conclusions.
I did NOT suggest you were being unreasonable.
There is no power-trip.
Nobody's pulled any "wool over your eyes".
The only name I called you was "son" (re: my maternalistic directions).
I didn't take you on the issues because there are no issues this thread.

Jasepl posted a comic. You got upset. Jase suggested you lighten up because it was merely a joke. I agreed with him, and quoted something you had in your profile. There was nothing perverse or insulting intended until after your reply.

Quoting QANTASforever (Reply 16):
I made a comment about how I didn't think a joke was very clever

You did not say in your first message that you didn't find the joke funny. You wrote a flippant and rather insulting comment aimed towards a friend of mine. (Scroll up if need be.) I'm sure you can appreciate how that got my guard up.

I don't care if you support France or not. I really don't care if you found the joke funny or not. But if you seek "haute-humeur", I'm sure we can all agree that you will not find it here at a.net.

You insulted me quite blatantly in your posts, but I am prepared to let that slide, because while you insulted my intelligence, I'm not sure you understood any of the insults I directed towards you since you didn't address any of them...so let's call it even.

Perhaps if I type my comments more slowly next time, it will help you understand better.

Glad we cleared this all up.

God Save the Queen!

This is my final word on this matter. If you decide to reply, make it a good one!

TERROR ALERT IN FRANCE

Paris, July 22, 2005- AP and UPI reported that the French government
has raised its terror alert level from RUN to HIDE on their four level
danger scale. The two higher French danger levels are Surrender and
Collaborate.
The rise was precipitated by a fire yesterday which destroyed France's
white flag factory, effectively paralyzing their military according to
informed sources.

In keeping with the theme of the map, there is actually a town on the French island of Reunion called Le Tampon, although I'm sure it doesn't mean the same thing in French. When I pointed the English meaning out to a French speaking inhabitant of Reunion, he found this quite amusing.

Those superimposed lines are the routes German armies took while attacking france. The "motorway-numbers" indicate the year of the offensive and the roads are named after the German commander (Guderian Panzer By-pass, Bismarck Hwy etc).

The city names have also been modified in case you had not noticed.
