Roamin, I also have seen the inuendo.  Even if you didn't intend it that way, it comes off that way.   Please find a different topic.

 

No you haven't. Where? I'm being 100% honest when I say that if you were to take all of the people involved in the chat and ask them what the term "yogurt" meant in our conversation, you would have at least four different answers. If you don't understand why this would be, read Hasans last post.  The situation is not nearly as horrible as some posters are making it out to be.

See, this is the problem. People who have been upset are just being belittled and treated as though their feelings have no value. Their opinions need to be treated as valid before this can be resolved sensibly.

Note: I wasn't around for the original threads so I don't have an opinion as such but I do think people who were upset are being treated unfairly.

Thank you, Emily.

 

As I noted, the problem is NOT talking about yogurt. 

 

It is about deliberately trying to upset people you know would be upset, and then making fun of them. 

 

If you know something bothering people, and you still want to talk about it, go for it!  But use private messages, email, the phone.

but it's okay for them to assign nefarious reasons and intents behind other people's postings, even though those people have repeatedly said that they don't mean what people think they mean?

FULL STOP. Did you see franny's post about the time she spent with Roamin, MS, and their baby? about how their whole household practically revolves around dairy? And yet you still say that Roamin is making fun of people and upsetting them on purpose? FOR REAL?! :rolleyes:

Standard middle school behavior. 

 

I read that the average human male does not reach full emotional maturity until the age of 42.

you're right, you didn't. i was inferring something that wasn't said, but i felt was implied.

 

see, I can admit when I'm wrong. :)

Le sigh.

Roamin's little boy? He has a serious dairy allergy. Just like his favorite non-family member (that's me). Dairy (and some other things) are nearly CONSTANT conversation in their house. Yogurt came up several times on my trip (thanks 171 for eating it in front of us! UGH) as did cheese. Cheese and yogurt. And basically 40% of all food products because those things contain something their little one is allergic to.

I understand where you're coming from. When that's the understanding of it, I can see why people would be upset. (Not THIS upset! I mean... just email dUSt. Done.) But it was never sexually charged and it's exhausting to have people constantly attempting to crucify us (like, 8 of us) over something so ridiculous.

Many of us have been members here a long time. Half the people in the chat either are or were "leaders" at the phorum for a long time. We all love and respect dUSt and value this place for the friendships it has given us. I know I can speak safely for everyone in saying that we would NEVER jeopardize our beloved online community over something so ridiculous -- if for no other reason than we love dUSt and wouldn't do that to our friend.

Make us out to be as immature as you'd like; we all know the truth.
