Re: Birthdays
Thank you, Ralph!
James, I appreciate your complement. Then again, if you would remember that I was born 3 months premature, you would definitely see how that is!
I'll be off soon to make this an even better year for me! Again, thank you all for your good wishes.

Re: Birthdays
Happy Birthday, Jason!
And, no, Matt, I haven't sent a PM.
I found it rather pleasant to see a raft of messages on here on my birthday last year, and I'm sure that most others feel the same, however cynical they might try to appear!

Re: Birthdays
I want to thank Julie for being the sweetest lady, and taking my mind off of Sue berating everyone else. Birthdays should be happy, and there are no prepositions about it.
Nobody deserves to be banned, I know I have supporters here, and the love should spread all around this forum!
I don't mean to be so naive, but once again I mean to show how positive I am.

Lol. While I think your persecution of this thread is a bit unfair, I completely understand your reasoning with the latter example. Those sort of people irritate the hell out of me too.Matt Morrison wrote:Of course I looked. You knew I wouldn't be able to resist it, damn you intrigue.
For the record, this thread sucks because it's full of people saying happy birthday just so everyone can see how kind and thoughtful they are, when really if they actually cared about the person in question they'd send a PM - more personal, more meaningful, more proper, not just for show. This thread is pretty much akin to that person who does the washing up for everyone at a family Christmas get together but then feels the need to go around and tell every single person that they've done the washing up just to make sure they get credit for it.[/i]

Glad you're with me. If you're going to give you HAVE to give graciously or it means absolutely fuck all.
When a forum message applies completely wholly to just one single person, it should be a PM not a forum message. If it's not a PM, there are hidden psychological reasons.
Well done on quite deliberately misinterpreting me. My whole point is that everybody loves being birthday-congratulated, but when the peoples congratulating them actually give a fuck and MEAN it it's ten times nicer. I'm rooting for PMs rather than forum messages, not saying we should be ignoring peoples birthdays altogether, that's ridiculous.Julie T wrote:I found it rather pleasant to see a raft of messages on here on my birthday last year, and I'm sure that most others feel the same, however cynical they might try to appear!

Re: Birthdays
As the thread is clearled marked "Birthdays", would it not be easy to avoid it by those who do not approve?
Just a thought.

I think that Ralph's point has been made on this thread before, but it bears repeating.
Let's hope that those who like the thread continue posting here, and those who prefer sending PMs continue to do so, and stop sniping at others' choices!
IMHO, if you want to wish someone a Happy Birthday, or thanks for same, then this is the thread to do it, unless you prefer to do PMs of course. Please leave sniping and silly in jokes to trip people up (if you really must do them) to other threads.
Jason Larsen is a great bloke, and presumably wouldn't say so, but it can't be very pleasant to have this sort of argument, however mild, going on around someone's birthday greetings.

I didn't trip you up, Misty (Miss-T, geddit?). That would be abuse, and I don't abuse women.Julie T wrote:Please leave [...] silly in jokes to trip people up (if you really must do them) to other threads.
Anyway, Chairman Jon liked the in-joke, so if I feel they are worth doing for a laugh I will continue to do them. Thanks for the motherly advice though.
Oh, and Happy Birthday! (whenever yours is).

Re: Birthdays
The only picture I can paint is that he got so addicted to posting here, it was having a detrimental effect on the other things he needed to do in life. So he asked a moderator to switch his posting rights off, much in the same way as happens when you are banned.Jason Larsen wrote:We haven't seen Joseph around here in a while!

Like any addiction, the only way out is to abstain completely. Just my thought though.

Also, when Kate checks her e-mail in a few hours, I bet she'll be saying the same thing she said to me last year, "Thank you soooooo much for my e-card!"
