Can we stop the obscene language being used here in the name of jokes. You guys are most active members of this forum; I consider you forumgurus a sort of mentor. Please be a role model. I am sure many here will be amused by gender refence in questions as well. please be careful. Thanks. Dont abuse me for this post. Forgive me if I did any damage. But I really love this forum and cant ignore even mild deviation from the purpose.
Hey Passtep, I don't see any deviation in this language. This may be effective way of learning when mist have stressfull lifes and are trying to study extra hours. If someone is offended they just shouldn't read the jokes or everytime they think the title is not appropiate.
sorry for typo... its when most have...
hey passtep ! all the best !
I absolutely agree with you , pass step !
This is a public forum, there are whole lot of different people here ranging from Type A personality to type Z personality...
Yes, sometimes I write apparently innocent but amusing topics, believing that people will take it lightly, never intended to hurt anybody's feelings..never intended to disrespect any race, gender or age. Sometimes I just post something to give a break to serious studies.
I understand your point, because my wife always reads what I write here, so she is my internal control to monitor if things are going right.
Even though this is public forum and most of us (including yourself) are anonymous, but amazingly, I know nearly 100 forum members, amny of them personally, I e-mail many of them, I talk to many them over phone, few visited my lab/house, many knows everything about me, I know many of them, I know theri personal stories, I have their pictures too !!!!
More interstingly, >90% of them are women. My wife always wonders, why mostly women contacts me ???
Thing is, when I post somethig here, I always need to remind myself that these people know me, my family...and everything, I should not write anything that hrams my reputation...
I try that everytime I write, and a very important point, I usually write for members that I can see in the forum, most of my posts are not intended for invisible/silent members...because i even do not know who they are...how many of them are out there...
I know most of the active members, and I know how much they can tolerate, I try to maintain that limit...but sometimes I fail, I confess that !
Again, I agree with what you said, I respect your opinion but I may not follow it completely !
passtep,
you have not done any damage here by expressing your opinion or concern......
you have expressed your thoughts in the sweetest possible way....
as we all know this is public forum....belonging to pesonality types A-Z......lol....
i can relate to where you are coming from.....many may feel the same way as you, esp the females!!!
but most do not have the courage to express their opinion...or may have opted not to do so, coz of the reasons narrated by TH....
TH,
hmm??? what am i going to do about you....lol...just kidding!
that was a nice, respectful and polite expression of your thoughts!!!!
the way you project yourself on the forum.... makes you look like a real family man, who has a desire to die for his "wife"(your recent confession) and has 2 little girls....
so TH is living with 3 females!!! he must have a respectful/sensitive spot for this female gender..
this makes you a very "NON-THREATENING" male..........makes it easier for females to trust you and open up to you........
so tell your wife to stop wondering!!
and enjoy the peace of mind she has.....i am sure she does!!!
LOL.....
I have always felt the need to keep things professional, clean, mature and sensitive toward others. So I think everyone would agree with me that we should keep all jokes funny, real and at a level that we can all appreciate and understand. Having said that, I think we can all enjoy:
LOTS OF GOOD JOKES ABOUT LAWYERS!!!!!!!
lol
bernie,
you said it.........clean & professional are the winning words here.........
i am all for jokes about the lawyers!!!!
LOL
very good and nice explanation, cricoid and bernie !
I agree with all of you guys !
But, I have a little problem ! I am never serious about anything...I just do things for fun, to me, it sounds like we decided that this forum will be for serious studies and serious discussion. Thats very good !
Since that does not fit me, I have decided to withdraw myself from this forum...I need to come at least tonight because I posted some Qs and I need to post answers for that...after that, I am gone guys !
Please maintain your serious discussion, and it will help people who are really serious about studies... and will not deviate your attention, concentration and focus..
Best of luck guys!
3H, you are kidding, right?
If you are (in this particular case) not joking, would you please tell me, where are you gonna go. Which forum, I mean...
Shouldn't you have chosen any of the few forums out there, I am able to provide the hosting and software for a new one (think about this!)! And you could stay on the "door" to maintain the face control.
Everyone who is not smiling, would have no chance coming (in)!
And this is because I like exactly the way of communication I accidentally found here. And I would definitely not appreciate any compromises in the sense of humor in this communication "because of the feelings" of whoever, which I hereby do not disrespect.
I just try to find a place which corresponds best to the way I imagine as a most pleasant one of communication in respect of learning and discussing problems regarding our beloved profession.
Meanwhile I am pissed off by the situations where I am reminded to be tolerant just because I smile and/or laugh while I do something else.
I could write more about this but hope that this was a joke, 3H... and don't have to.
