(...) Oh grow up! By "order", I meant I insisted. You think what? That my wife is a stupid person who cannot defend herself against me? If she doesn't want to help, she won't, just as anyone would do. You are pathetic. You attack people telling them (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

All you had to do was say what you meant. But according to you the complainers are being childish because YOU chose all the wrong words to express this "sarcastic" vent? Don't blame us, all we did was read what you wrote. And despite what some may (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) But Kirby, that’s the nature of ‘sarcasm!’ You choose all the “Wrong words” specifically in order to apply an inflection. The “wrong words,” when properly understood, are what create the humor! By explaining the nuances or by being stolidly (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
