Perhaps the sentiment of an ellipsis isn't known to others as well as your conceived intentions. You presumed it wouldn't be taken as an offensive response and judging from reactions including mine, you were clearly mistaken. Also, I will have to state a personal note and break away from my neutral standpoint that suicide or death in general is no joking manner and that was my major issue with the post in question. It shows an unwarranted disrespect where your only reasoning of stating such a comment was the use of a more eccentrically censored alternative to the word penis.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Oh please, Wicked Vixen had  just joked about raping belatris in the post above mine so I'm not exactly buying this whole death is no joking matter excuse. If anything, this example proves that who's saying what is more powerful than what's actually being said.  People joke about incredibly dark subjects all the time without anyone so much as batting an eyebrow. I'm not pretending to be some stuffy uptight sage who's above making the occasional controversial remark or two, no one should be held to such unrealistic mechanical standards. I'm not faulting anyone simply by acknowledging this.  I'm just pointing out that personal politics(feelings) trumps the objectivism people claim to measure their actions by (fact) or at the very least it influences certain reactions(bias). I wasn't favored because of my persona, the way my comments were perceived didn't help either.  It is what it is.
