I'm having a problem.

[littlemissmartypants]

Sometimes I see threads and comments in which the acronym HOF is embedded with the phrase hair on fire. This f*cks with my head occasionally. Am I alone in this experience of momentary exasperation?
Are we being trolled? Seriously? Am I missing something?

1. I'm hoping SOME one gets me here.

Why is our acronym being bastardized? Or is it? Am I imagining things?

2. A link would help because I am not really sure I understand what you are saying =

but, yes = I think there is a contingent on here that equates us as Hair On Fire types.

If that is what you are getting at.

I wouldn't let it bother you.

I know I don't.

4. If littlemiss

Puts a link in - she will get alerted on and the post will get hidden.

BTW - I think it's a double meaning acronym for that crew. They aren't fooling me. I just push back and tell them I'm trashing threads with the keywords NSA, Snowden and Greenwald in the title. Because its silly nonsense stuff to me!

That will chap their asses more than anything.

[littlemissmartypants]

6. ...

You are so right!

9. "chap their asses"

.......

11. if the post itself is NOT a hideable offense then why is linking to it hideable?

btw, there is always PM if you have a question that you do not care to share with others.

but, honestly - I don't see how it is hideable.

13. Because Tuesday

Thats a "call out" of another DUer. If we keep it general - then its not a personal attack.

That said - you are absolutely correct. But a bunch of MRA types will get n the jury and we all know what happens then . . .

14. if you don't mind to PM me with the post in question

People have Hair On Fire in their sig lines.

I guess that is supposed to be an insult to us.

but, really it is just silly bordering on stupid.

and that is not against ToS.

16. If you "call out" a DUer

Make sure it's a DUer who deserves calling out, like one of US. Then the post wont be hidden.

3. I was told the other day

That the constant use of the word " rape" in a title . . . Oh bother!

We need to make an effort to not react.

In my opinion it is trolling - and you will be alert stalked by the jerks engaging in this behavior.

^Funny thing is with that last sentence - if I'm alerted on by one that person is admitting they are a jerk AND letting a woman have her way. Proving me right you know?^

5. I tend to be somewhat of a Pollyanna

And I just don't want to see evil. But it's definitely out there. So I was somewhat correct ... someone some where on here has tried to assault us by bastardizing our HOF acronym. Nice.

7. well some...

[littlemissmartypants]

8. I love you so much. nt

[sheshe2]

10. back atcha.........

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. I am misunderstanding the term embedded, I think

I thought you meant like a hotlink to something else.

[littlemissmartypants]

15. I will pm you later.

I would now but I have a dinner party to go to. I'll touch base with you later tonight.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. sure thing. Have fun at the party. ttyl.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Meh

It's a insignificant portion of the children who want negative attention. I'm easy going, and have long since identified those types. I don't care. They're often the same ones who call this an "echo chamber" from there echo chamber.

Don't let it bug you.
