I've always found that the rudest, most inconsiderate and ignorant people are those who stereotype entire groups of people based upon their racist preconceptions.

Jeannette has waaaaay too much time on her hands. Nobody asked for a thesis paper on anything....yawn.

lori

As much as I'm trying not to, I had to laugh over the "thesis paper" comment. I noticed the author made sure to include .edu in her anonmymous e-mail, just to make sure we know she is speaking down to us from the lofty world of academia. Ummmmm....o.k.


The initial question seems rather strained (like the person was just fishing around trying to come up with a new question) and I personally suspect it's another attempt to create one of those popular survey type questions that seem to feature prominently under the Hot Threads header.

Jeanette,

Don't you just hate it when you take the time to express your thoughts about an issue raised on a thread, only to have a numbnut with too much time on his/her hands break in and tell you that you have too much time on YOUR hands?

GoBack, please don't heckle.

golly

Jeanette, aka 123, you're SO right? What could all these people possibly have been thinking when they dared to express their opinions? Only YOURS in the correct one and has the right to be expressed, as we should all know.

Take your own advice and don't heckle, or better yet, find something better to do then typing and posting epistles on the web all day.

I always have to laugh at those holier-than-thous who feel free to express their own opinions while trying to squelch everyone else. Same goes for those who criticize perceived insults("don't heckle") while hurling their own insults and names ("numbnut"). Or how about those who say "ignore it" but have just done the exact opposite by posting about it?

What a bunch of hyprocrites.

Me

Thanks, Jeanette, for taking the time to share. I learned a lot. Next time I see social behavior that goes against MY rearing, I won't be so quick to make a judgement.

Jeanette

Dear Me [email protected] - You would be a good anthropologist, because the deplaning example that you raised is exactly the kind of thing that needs to be studied so that we can cooperate better at other levels. I took the time because you asked and appreciate your thanks.

John

I, too, enjoyed your "epistle" Jeanette.
It's refreshing to read something that makes you think, jogs your perspective.
Thanks for making an interesting entry and taking the time.

As forthe hecklers, I suspect jealousy or insecurity underlie their small-minded comments.

Jeanette, I thought you were very gracious not to respond to the mean-spirited comments hurled your way. I liked your post. Way to go!

Igive

Jeanette, how many more pseudonyms do you plan to create to post more self-congratulatory messages? All these anonymous people coming out of the woodwork to praise you..hmmmmm... how very...coincidental.

Jeanette

I have never, ever given myself a pseudonym on any forum or board. I am old and thick skinned enough to find that unnecessary.

The most unruly populace that I have ever had the misfortune to experience are the Martians. They do not care one iota for queueing up, nor do they feel any remorse or hesitation in using their disintegrator rays. I cannot tell you the number of times during boarding that when the call was announced for the disabled et. al. to board early, that these green munchkins just blasted their way through and then took seats as calmly as morning lake water. I really get PO'd whenever I see these creatures breach the basic ettiquettes of humanity and blow away a crowd from around a street vendor, just so they don't have to wait in line for a hot dog. One minute there were happy smiling faces, and the next there is nothing but a blur of green mixed with mustard. I am quite adamant that all humans should boycott Mars.

Bebe, I'm still searching for an answer and perhaps you have hit on it. Do you think it's the Martian population that "deplane" by immediately jump up out of their seats just to have to wait for the rows ahead of them to file out?
