*sprays flame retardant on OL*

Sarah (zilla) is not allowed to use her dad's email address for the board, therefore she will no longer be posting here.

The thing about us: We were bored one evening and since there was nothing funny on the board at the time, we decided to create something.

I thought you guys would catch on. Zilla had to edit her posts in her "Hello World" thread to cover the trail. I thought you guys would have noticed the change and caught on.

If any of you still wanna talk to her you can email or chat with her on AOL Instant Messanger.

------------------
BTW: Zilla and I were never a couple, we're just friends. It was a gag, and you bought it! :)

CC: Zilla can apply for a @solareclipse.net mail address in this special case, can't she?

I'll contact Sarah, but I don't know if she wants to come back anyway.

The reason I'm posting this is because Warped 1701 (i think that's the name) said he was upset about the matter.

Read the 'from Scoopthis.com' thread.

Posted by Warped1701 (Member # 40) on :

The main reason that I didn't like it is that you two pretended to be together. There are some parties on this forum who would come close to selling their souls to have a girlfriend. I know...because not too long ago, I was one of them. Personally speaking, I feel that playing a gag about something that precious isn't a laughing matter.

I live halfway across the country from my girlfriend, and this is just about the only way we can communicate. I see the two of you come on here, and I'm happy to see another online couple. Then I find out it's nothing more than a joke. That is very disquieting to me.

Posted by RW (Member # 27) on :

If there were a devil, I'd sell my soul to him for a girlfriend. But I, for one, don't care about that gag at all. It's just a relatively innocent bit of jokingly abusing people's trust in internet contacts. But I won't shoot myself over it.

Does the community need Zilla to be a member?

------------------
Takeoffs are optional.
Landings are mandatory.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Trinculo: She may want to be a member. That should be enough.

I rather enjoyed her laughter.

We need everyone. This is supposed to be a trek board. To be truly represintive of the series, we need to be as universal as possible. I enjoy hearing the ideas and museings of people all over the world. I hate to see anyone leave. It's why I came back. I may not be happy with everything that happens, or is said, but I miss the people when I'm not here.

WHO ARE YOU

Posted by bryce (Member # 42) on :

Well sorry, but I (we) never hurt anyone. Sarah doesn't like it when I kill bugs!

Anyway, she doesn't even want back on. Let's just say my skin is tougher than hers, ok.

The person you really hurt is yourself.

With one fell swoop, you have seriously eroded your credibility.

I thought you folks (you know who I mean) were supposed to have some ethical problems with fibbing...

I, for one, think it rather thin-skinned for people to be deeply offended by such a poorly constructed "joke".

Humor, in very general terms, is a matter of leading people to view things one way, then revealing (or allowing them to discover) a different perspective. How can two complete strangers, posing as lovers, be a joke? We have no way of knowing you weren't lovers, so we accept you at your word. That is no more funny than if I were to post a picture, claiming it was me.

This picture

for example...

And then revealing it wasn't. It isn't a photo of some widely-recognized celebrity like

Elvis Presley

(Thank ya.
Thank ya verra much!)

so how could you possibly understand the joke unless you had special knowledge (the picture is of a scientist who resembles me in the slightest).

Having said that (I tend to take my humor rather seriously), since the joke was poorly conceived and poorly executed, but not motivated by malicious intent, I hereby recommend we tie the perpetrators to the floor, spray them with beef gravy, and sic' the toothless chihuahuas on them. When they're all wrinkly (just like when you've stayed too long in the bath) we'll cut 'em loose and give them stern looks.

That'll larn 'em!

Well, a joke and a lie are two different things. Clergy tell jokes durings church. Kids pull pranks at church camp, and so do counselors.
