(135,425 posts)Everyone else can be dismissed, or mocked, or they're "taking it too seriously." Because Manny is just a Big Kidder, and he's so....satirical, and "clever," and oh, doesn't he have a ...way with words... or something. It doesn't resonate with me.
It doesn't quite rise to trolling, but it does rise to "rude, hurtful, disruptive, etc." for a small group of people...who aren't a big enough "critical mass" to wind up on a jury all at the same time to express their displeasure.
That's why the passive-aggressive "game" goes on, but the game isn't funny and it isn't fun, either. It makes DU suck, as the saying goes.
The only thing to do is point it out...it might not do any good (and clearly, it hasn't thus far) but at least maybe it won't be IGNORED quite so readily.
