(42,862 posts)... aren't you the clever one? But, as you say... at least you have your own line. The actual location of that line is rather questionable, and I've seen little evidence of it as of yet, but I'm perfectly willing to take you at your word when you assert that there is indeed a line which you will not cross. After all, it's entirely subjective, isn't it? When it comes to being "overly dickish" (as you say) the actual location of "the line" for you will likely differ when it comes to my perception of whether or not you're being "overly dickish" (again, your words). Kinda like how two people can have totally difference senses of humor, right?
Anyway, at least (based on your own words) you're inclined to re-think and self-edit before totally stepping it a pile and tracking it through the house. But now that you've brought it up, it makes me wonder what your original version of the "Fox Pundit" insult was. I'm sure it must have been a real hum-dinger.

FYI when you lol to my post, you know Im not going to get the laugh right?
======================
Actually, I know no such thing. There are many people who have a self-awareness with regard to the things they say, how their words can be interpreted, or perceived. There are even many people who have the ability to laugh at themselves.
(Excerpt)======================
It's clearly not to laugh, because that's done without the assistance of a keyboard.
======================
I can roll my eyes without the assistance of a keyboard too.
But when it's my intention to let others KNOW that I'm laughing or rolling my eyes... then I say so with text or emojis or gifs.

PS: How do you feel about the "waving-smiley" emoji? Is that too passive-aggressive for you?
Does it creep you out? Does it suggest that I'm being overly friendly in an unwelcome way that encroaches on your personal space?
Hey! LOL!
