First, I wanted to say something. There are some very congenial, fun and all around great people here and don't think I don't appreciate you. Not for a minute.

I had a fight with my dad earlier today and was in a pretty bad mood. I was looking at another forum I belong to and saw a link to this video. It is a spoof of a commercial made by Dove (the skincare folks). So, I looked at it and it really seriously annoyed me. I made a sarcastic response about it, and shouldn't have bothered...either to respond about such a dumb video or to the people who replied to me. This is what happened today. (all names but mine have been changed to protect other people's privacy, likewise the name of the other forum has been omitted)

Inner beauty, integrity, compassion, wisdom. Bah, who needs it?

(sorry, not meaning to seem so peevish. baaad mood.)

Seriously, it wasn't the person who posted the link to the video that annoyed me, it was just that the video itself annoyed me. I didn't mean to cause offense, I was simply trying to express my opinion of that video. I think that is ok, isn't it??? I sort of think that is the point of a forum, to express opinions.

I could have been much hissier btw. But then I am new here, so I guess nobody would know that.

And right underneath my post, Guy 1 posts this:
