Now I'm curious what I missed. Suffice to say that no suggestion of violence aimed at this particular person will bother me, but I'm possibly a little biased.
Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sometimes a specific suggestion of violence directed at a complete stranger over the internet just jumps up and screams at you, you know?
Suggestions of violence directed at a complete stranger over the internet should use their indoor voices.
Aw, heck, Hec. Hate to hear that. I know you'll come through with your usual flair and aplomb(since you are cool enough to know what aplomb is, exactly.) (frowns at compliment) Not nice like yours...(gives Hec quarter as tribute.)
brenda, are you on aim?
I guess that makes sense.
For anyone that read what I typed and felt uncomfortable because of it, I apologise. Totally not what I meant to do.
Maybe I should edit my earlier joke about Sparky's co-worker, also? We've been having morbidly odd (and completely joking!) conversations in the office today and I seem to be a little one-track minded at this time.
I can't explain why some comments suddenly look really real and harmful, and others slide right on by. It's as much to do with me as it is with the words, quite probably.
Heck, I make specific suggestions of things I'd never do to total strangers all the time. (I'm not at all sure that sentence made sense.) I just think you hit on an unfortunately association-bearing suggestion this time.
Er, what I meant up there was things like, "I'd like to thwap him with a gerund and see how he likes it!" not, like, random alleyway encounters.
I actually don't think that Nicole's comment was different from a whole heck of a lot of violence that gets suggested here against people we don't know.
That it was a specific trigger for vw was handled a.s.a.p., just as it should be.

I'm not uncomfortable with it, and, like I said above, I don't think your comments were different from a lot of what gets said here.
brenda, are you on aim?
Nope, I'm at work. Feh.
Just had my annual review....
