ok...
i really didnt believe people would be so offended. we are nerds. it doesnt matter if you are the captain of the football team (as i was), or the manliest man in the world. we own an XIM and play games. we are nerds. from most of the nerd community i find that its just a joke to say "YOU have a gf?". it is a direct joke, either about the person, or really about the stereotype that comes from playing games (being a "nerd"). saying you have a gf is a joke about the stereotype more than the person...
that makes it harmless, unless people are insecure about something and find it offensive for their own reasons.
i thought if someone posted about the reference, itd be an LOL, not a, @#$%. i figured most people were seasoned enough to laugh about a harmless joke that has grown over the years.
i find it strange though, at this point in the thread, that this "offensive" comment is what you find noteworthy. I am talking about
REAL stuff and like to find something to smile about on any occasion, especially when its hard to. i am also astonished that you think i ACTUALLY believe that, not even from the fact i said "lol" but as if it were a hatespeach i was writing about the forum/members that i clearly appreciate and respect (obvious in how much activity i have on here...).
I do NOT apologize. what is it you found so offensive about the statement? how do you feel attacked or offended, specifically? so then why do you feel like you should defend yourself to the most minute insignificant part of the post, to someone who in no way knows you, who (in your perspective of finding it offensive) is just some jackass on the internet, where it SHOULD make no difference in any way to you?
So lets just assume, that it was just something more that you dont like and nothing special. so you had to tell me that and insist on your current relationship status. which shows me: 1. you did not understand the joke, 2. you feel challenged by the statement so you must banter back (which trust me, has its own merit to ask yourself WHY you would), and 3.you obviously either didnt read or failed to realize, from the rest of the 1-2 pages of description, i have an immense respect for any individual and their life. even if they nearly killed people...
so what are YOU really talking about?
and thanks for the backup mist, i thought we were cool

lol, and i posted on their a while ago my age i believe.
