The seeming need for certain people to inject themselves into a fairly calm, rationale discussion with little seeming purpose but to generate heat and not light.

#23 Someone using my funny and lighthearted thread to vent in a serious tone.
Valid though the venting may be, this is not the thread for it. I wouldn't start a thread about hating hatrack if I thought any serious reasons to hate it would appear. I respect the hosts too much.
Get with the spirit, Dag! Say something funny!

#55a--being a newbie and having absolutely nothing to contribute to what must be a funny thread, based on the parts I could comprehend with my limited understanding
#55b--realizing that compared to those of you who joined before time was counted in years (how long ago was "A Long Time Ago," Belgarath?), I'll always be a newbie! Posts: 107 | Registered: Jan 2004

Ouch! Could someone please pass the offense? I think I definitely need to borrow a little bit from whoever had it last! Posts: 107 | Registered: Jan 2004

Claudia Theresa does not have more degrees than me and Bob is not wittier than I am. I just hold back in my posts to keep you all from developing an inferiority complex.

I don't generally check profiles. Like, practically never. All I know is what I read in the posts, y'dig? Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

I dig Tom. But since I've hardly ever posted as Bonnie, It's never been an issue.
I think I avoid using my real name on line because in my mind, it tends to be associated with "wee lass", and while I am indeed a small woman, I'm only a small woman on the outside. Life has taught me, that people often discount ones ideas when one is small and feminine, so on the internet I enjoy having people get to know me first by my ideas before they are biased by any preconceived notions about people of my size and gender.

Anyway, I agree. That's personally why I didn't use "Fat, 17-year-old, Short, Hometaught, Christian, Prescott-Arizonan." That, and the dang character limit.

#24 Rabbit is smarter than you, but is also a bit touchy, so approach with caution and avoid angering the right nasty rodent.

I have also observed, that people nearly always assume that I am male online until I (or someone else) corrects them. I'm not sure what that means.
The great thing about "The Rabbit" is that there is alot more to it than just a small furry animal. Their are all kinds of cultural references from "Playboy" to "Bugs Bunny", from "Monty Python" to the "Velveteen Rabbit". It has great latitude.

You can't go half way with the Python references. Either you're a right nasty rodent or you're not. You don't get the benefits without taking the designation.

Who says you can't go half way with Monty Python references? I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition.
And besides, it is not "right nasty rodent" its "the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!"

Yes, there is a rabbit under the chinese Zodiac. The next year of the rabbit will be in 2011. I expect Hatrack to spend the entire year producing prose to honor me. (Assume that Hatrack hasn't morephed into something far different by then).

Rabbit, I promise pages and pages of prosy praise if you resurrect the Ask Dr. Rabbit thread. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

Oops. Jon Boy can't read. I thought you were saying that you didn't like using your last name because of the association with "wee lass."

1. To pursue by tracking stealthily. 2. To follow or observe (a person) persistently, especially out of obsession or derangement.
