Reply #278: its about being polite [View All]

I wouldn't call someone pathetic (even if i thought he was), unless he clearly deserves to be called out for it. (G.W. Bush jr. comes to mind)

(And BTW, i don't really think the original poster meant that they actually cried tears. I read it as a metapher for their reaction in general and after reading the board the last few days, i thought really hard about registering. I only did it, because i thought that some more people had to try to inject common sense, politeness and friendliness into this - democratic - debate )

And, as a general rule, don't make fun of people's emotions.
