Dotted... sympathy posts seem to have overwhelmed MeFi I canna post a link, Cap'n, as the site stopped responding. However, while reading all of the "." posts on the last thread in MeTalk, I noticed that MeFi went down and never came back up...

I really don't like the whole dot thing.

It's nothing to do with the dots - MeFi falls over all the time.

DW is racist against sympathy dots.

"Little Dot" was one of my favorite girl comics when I was a kid. She was pretty much obsessive-compulsive by contemporary standards, but I have to say I liked her style.

I really don't like the whole judging how people choose to memorialize people thing.

I said I don't like it dano lad, not that it was not to be done by others OR (god help us) the even more hopeless and infantile "that it was stupid and should be stopped on my say so" (the classic mefi party line), 'cause I'm not a real authority fetishist - everybody with me type. I just don't like it. Dot away in good health and long life.

And I didn't say you said those bits. I was reacting to a whole camp of comments, of which yours was just one. Carry on and donut friday.

Hey, and I'm just being a schmuck; don't mind me.

Ok Dano,
I wasn't judging anyone, so someone else needs to be the camp commendant.

Hugh,
All the way to the wall che, you know the number.

I really don't like the whole "Hey, that's just my opinion, you do whatever you want", thing.

Oh yeah, well I really don't like the "I really don't like..." thing.

Y'all start behaving or y'all will have to stand in corners with your noses stuffed into 'em!
