Devil's Dictionary

Don't you hijack my thread.

I will slap you silly.

All of you.

 

I think your reaction is a bit extreme, and I hardly think my comment offended these "millions" of users. If 'they' are true "artists" then surely they don't need the ratification of others. Well that is how I feel about my deviantART work anyway.

It was a JOKE, don't be so thin-skinned and sensitive, and to call it a "personal attack" is just daft.

I mean someone posted a derogatory comment about Lomography, but did I get offended? NO, because what would be the point. I think this thread should be taken in good humour, and people like YOU should chillax a bit and not take it so seriously.

ps: And no of course I don't think everything on deviantART is pretenious, this thread just reminded me of a magazine article I read recently which heavily voiced the opinion that "those that can't use deviantART".

 

ISO Sensitivity - Isolated Social Oxymoron; an attempt of hilarity in an OFF TOPIC internet forum and ruffling someone's feathers followed by a direct attack by the 'offended', followed by a rebuff from the originator of the first comment. The end result usually highjacks the thread. See Sarcasm.
