BBS'ing transparency thread
« on: March 08, 2011, 05:36:24 PM »
ever since the  :dubious:  emoticon was put into place, i have not known what it meant. the word DUBIOUS is not part of my vocabulary. i had to guess whenever it was used what the word meant exactly. finally, i went to dictionary.com today and discovered its true meaning.

so there, goEMAW.com. judge me as you will.

I am generally considered (for better or for worse) to be the board grammarian/proofreader, and usually I accept this role because somebody has to clean up this piece of crap place.  But let me tell you, there's one thing I really, really, love: funny replies to threads where the respondent uses all lowercase and no punctuation, even if they're asking a question.  crap makes me laugh all the time.  Steve Dave is really good at it.  Often times I want to do it myself, but I am always concerned people will judge me as being a hypocrite.

IMO, the emoticons don't NECESSARILY mean EXACTLY what the they are called.  It's all in the context of how you use them.    Internetting is an art, not a science.

OMG, guys... guys.  I just spent a good 10-15 minutes on The Birther Pit (?) thinking it was Combo Fanning... I was like WTF did this place turn into.

This happened, pretty much, IMMEDIATELY after leaving this thread.  So I had to come back and be transparent about it.

Has this sorta thing ever happened to you??  (I could've said no 15 minutes ago  :embarrassed: )

So, by "transparency," it seems you mean, "tell me about crap I don't get."  Is this correct?
