I think I saw the edges of that mouth starting to curl up a little bit.

What a lot of tedious quibbling.

Break the rules and you will have problems.

Attack moderators when they point out that you are breaking the rules and you will have greater problems.

Indulge in long, drawn-out rants about how terrible it all is, that you were mildly admonished for making a slightly inappropriate post on Christmas day, and you are just being unreasonable.

You have escalated this to a ridiculous extent. You were told off, for a thoughtless post, and reacted with anger. Six weeks later, you dredged it all back up.

Now your anger is directed at me.

Am I bovvered?


Well, as I haven't actually done any of the above I do not really have much to worry about...

You, however, posted selective, inaccurate excerpts from pms, that were not even sent to you, without permission...that seems to me a clear breach of both trust and ettiquette...

But just to keep this on track...it is not up to you to decree what I think or why I think it, that is for *me* to say.

The fact is that, whether you like it or not, I reacted *to realising that sinsboldy was a moderator* at all, with absolute horror, her xmas nitpicking was a pretty inconsequential gesture by comparision.

It looks as a lot like you are just trying to goad me now to be honest.

What a turn of phrase. Why would I need to goad you to be honest?

I have no idea, but you seem to think you should - and it's only yourself you are letting down with that, IMHO.

Like I give a damn.


Wait, wait, wait, so you're saying that we all should just suck it up and be like everyone else so that other people judge us favorably based on something that's completely irrelevant to their wellbeing, even if it makes us uncomfortable, physically or mentally, but in your opinion, you don't even have to restrain yourself from being offensive towards others? Hypocrisy much?

Just to show, I can smile. The manipulation was done by a friend, just for fun. He called me moses long before my WP history.

And that concludes the smiling as far as I'm concerned.

I used to have a smiling picture but the FBI said that you weren't supposed to be smiling while you were being booked.

I must just show you my driver licence. It just missed one thing, the number plate below. Otherwise, I look like the classic mass murderer. I might just scan it in just for fun.

Odd. All I get for the above two links is an animated GIF advert for the MyPhotoAlbum site, even if I attempt to go directly to them.
It would appear that the site may indeed be only your photo album, and does not let anyone else see the images?

I thought that was the concept. I'm really thick sometimes.

Well it's obvious that something's not quite right over there. Last week I had two mails, informing me that they were sorry, they had some problems with my account. And I'm also sorry for that, cause the said it was fixed. As lau said, YOUR account( I got that one), and everybody else get an ad.
Just got to move to a more reliable one. Anyone who know of something better, I'm happy to know. I hate such bastard places.

Thanx, think I'll just find some other, like image shack. Just came to my mind, that you might have to be a premium member, to link to pics on the s**t place I remorsefully placed mine pics.
Well, it's going to be a end to that.

It's only for a few seconds.

I don't have a problem with none smilers but saying its the AS or they can't do it, I don't buy it.
Lot of people here had valid reasons why they don't do it because it makes them feel fake, uncomfortable, un natural, they look like X, but turns out they look fine with their smiles and it's just their low self esteem. They think they don't look good when they smile.


I'm glad it's not hard for _you_ to smile for the camera. I am sure it makes your life easier and more pleasant. Length of time has nothing to do with it. I hope that you will eventually learn that just because it is not hard for _you_ to do something, or that it is possible for _you_ to learn to do something, does not mean that it is the same for everybody else.

I truly wish EVERYBODY would learn that one?

How hard could it be?

I think I know what it is now, low self esteem about our smiles so we refuse to do it.


Maybe, I just feel weird smiling...
