| 1. The best part? The kicked 9ui11iani out of his special seats so the ladies could use them, |
 |
they ended up indoors because of the rain and the seats sat empty.

| 2. I'd much rather see a picture of them at an opera, ballet, or symphony concert |
 |
But it's nice that they appear to genuinely get along well.

You're not saying it's not just something that you personally don't enjoy. It's objectively a stupid thing to do. Everyone who goes to see a sporting event is wasting their time. That's really the ground that you're going to stand on?
Pray tell, just how is going to a ball game a waste of time in a way that going to the opera is not?

The difference with opera is that going to an opera is an intelligent thing to do.
You should have foreseen that answer.

| 19. And an opera bores the hell out of me. |
 |
So, I'm a knuckle dragger and not intelligent just because I don't like the opera? Smug and superior is no way to go through life!!

| 20. It's the intelligent thing to do if you're trying to take a nap. |

Opera...music for people who hate music.

Back then, I watched and followed sports.
Later, I grew up.

Watching sports or watching opera is in no way indicative of one's intelligence or lack thereof. It is simply a matter of personal preference and it is pretentious and boorish to think otherwise.

| 21. It's not a matter of showing anyone anything |
 |
It's a way of ignoring insulting posters and avoiding being tempted to get into a foolish spat with them.

| 24. I don't need an "ignore" list to ignore someone. |

Edited on Sun Nov-01-09 11:45 PM by Harry Monroe
I just ignore them. Period. People who say things like "You are now on ignore!", sound like "well, now I've showed HIM!!" Well, do they think the other person is now supposed to be scared and quaking in their boots?? "Oh no, I'm on his ignore list. How did I screw up to get on his list?" Big whoop!! I've often found people using ignore list to have delicate sensibilities and thin skins and want to tailor their responses they receive to their liking, because they can filter out the offensive and contrary posts not to their liking. Kinda like Fox News!!
