^^I'm sorry to say this Thooktha, but I find that very hard to believe. I guess I'm just jaded and cynical. :3
And please don't make it look like Kashie was exaggerating when you mentioned that Kashie "was saying all this other stuff about spicy" when she simply only mentioned one thing, with reference to you at least.
Also, to answer your question, it makes her look like a reasonable human being who came to the most parsimonious conclusion. She may be wrong and you may be telling the truth, but who gets to verify the truth? Certainly, no one really.
However, don't take my comments seriously, I <3 SW, but SW's not my life. At this moment, I'm just being blunt and stating what I see as it is. I do not care whether you're telling the truth or lying. So don't feel obligated to explain yourself. :3
Anyways, I don't think you made her feel frustrated, offended, want to bite your head off or whatever. People think, people speak, simple as that. But that's just my opinion and all opinions are equal. isn't life great? kehe As of now, I'm actually very mellow and tired. guhhh :3
And your comment on SW being a venting central the first time did not come off as a positive remark. Tis all. If it was simply an indifferent remark, I'm sure Kashie understands.
And I'm sure Kashie is relaxed right now. Right Kashie? <<3
Anyways, I was gonna wait till tomorrow to make a comment about this, but now that Kashie mentions a crucial aspect of the point I wanted to make, well fudge it LMAO :3
I am not siding with anyone, but I will have to agree with natty on the fact that we have no right to tell anyone where to go or what to do unless we are sarN or Darv or coughs me LOL I'm kidding, but anyways I don't think natty is telling us, "you can't come to spicy if you don't like it." right to feel offended just like it's our right to comfort her, but understand that it's spicy girl's right to defend themselves also.
Plain and simple people, you don't like spicy then don't go there. It's so dang simple.
Bolded part. QED.
I'm sorry to say this, but you are very biased. Apparently, you've not read Natty's comment carefully and yet have defended her..very poorly I would say. "Can't" may not be the same as "don't", I know, but you must realize the people who were suggesting that Natty don't come to this thread were simply mirroring Natty's remarks. Please...I have low tolerance for double standards.
Why do you and Thookatha have a need to say "I'm not taking sides" if it was not meant for a defensive comment in the future, as it is now revealed you and her seem to be familiar and friendly with Natty and I'm just gonna presume at least feel some kind of obligation to defend your friend? And to add, it is this familiarity thing that has been stressed many times, including this "once you get to know them they're friendly" or "I got used to it" or "They're just like that". (quoting random comments I've read in this thread) I mean seriously, putting emotional attachments, bonds, familiarity aside, can you adequately argue that that supposed "joke" was not intended to harm?
And I would also have to say, no, this isn't about Spicy v Sarnworld. Yes, some people have made comments like I <3 Sarnworld, but they're not using that statement to argue that the quote Kashie gave us was harsh, wrong, etc. It's just a mere impulse reaction that humans unconsciously compare the topic at hand with another something that is relevant to the former. Seriously, this Spicy vs Sarnworld claim is just red herring. The real root of it, is a familiarity v. unfamiliar perspective. And apparently, you are familiar with Spicy. Or put it another way, of course you CAN'T be biased with reference tot the
forums: spicy and sw. However, you can be biased with reference to the
perspectives between those who are familiar with the adm of one forum and not another. If this is not clear, I can clarify later.
Anyways. When I enter debates, people sometimes accuse me of attacking the person, however I would like to point out I'm only attacking ideas, if I'm attacking at all. I have so much reading to do. So I apologize if I missed any points. Wait, wtfudge...I mean. Good nite. :3
