It had elements of Irony (the fact that Shawnna 
instigated the mad rush to Taro and then wailed 
about the negative effects of the mad rush), 
Exaggeration (all of which were provided by 
Shawnna herself, since I basically just quoted her 
numerous posts yesterday), and it had a cyclical 
quality to it in that it started with Shawnna's 
happy exclamation about the sale and ended with 
her being happy again about Taro coming back up.  
If you need me to explain it more clearly, I'll be 
happy to.  No need for you to feel left out, 
Keisuke, just because you can't understand the 
basics of humor.

Was the page immature?  Hmmm.  I suppose if you 
call it immature, then you are calling Shawnna 
immature, too.  Since everything on there was 
basically an abbreviated version of her antics 
yesterday.  Do you really want to make that kind 
of statement?

Why did I make the page?  Simple.  Shawnna was 
aggravating people.  Do I think she doesn't have 
the right to post whatever and whenever she wants? 
 HECK NO!  More power to her.  But if ANYONE 
decides to use a public forum to air every thought 
that comes into their head, then they DAMN WELL 
better expect people to comment on it.  I got over 
a hundred hits on that page, and a few comments on 
it via e-mail.  Nothing negative.  You know why?  
Because it allowed people to view it however they 
chose and provided a release.  Anybody who doesn't 
mind Shawnna ranting and raving a bit on the board 
just laughed at the site (as it was intended, in 
good-natured fun).  Those who were annoyed by the 
ranting took the site as a little jab and 
privately enjoyed exercising their demons without 
dealing with public ridule on this board.  You 
notice that nobody really got nasty publicly?  
Well I tend to think that this site defused things 
a bit.  

I was advised to ignore the posts that I disagreed 
with.  I guess I could do that (even though there 
were MANY).  So shouldn't I also expect someone to 
be able to ignore my ONE post in return?  Seems 
like a fair trade, no?  Or is there a double 
standard?

And Shawwna, please don't turn this into anything 
huge and refuse to post anymore.  Go right ahead. 
 But realize that it's a two-way street.  If you 
choose to wear your heart on your sleeve in a 
public place, the public will react.

Peace.
