Can I please have your personal definition of the word..........

SATIRE

Humour in a different form.

A true definition:

A play, novel, film, or other work that uses satire
    - a stinging satire on American politics
A genre of literature characterized by the use of satire
(in Latin literature) A literary miscellany, esp. a poem ridiculing prevalent vices or follies

Why do you ask?

U are absoluitely correct Ms. Blue.  I will explain later but if u want to know why a little quicker look elsewhere on this forum then put one and one together and see if u get 2.

spoof

Well yeah you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what you were doing that's for sure.

hmmmm nice word first time i ever came across it.

True but if you look at the tread again you will notice something else in regards to me.  Mind you, I would NEVER notice this if it were any other poster.  Silly games is not my cup of tea so I will refrain from posting under certain threads no matter the content. 

I wonder what the term would be for someone who cries, whines and complains about something trivial and then turns around and does the same thing to another poster. 

Gunny care to give me your personal definition of "banned" ?

Zuga

lmfao

I couldn't agree more playing head games with members is certainly not LCB's "cup of tea" either. Make a mockery out of members who's intentions are honorable to reply is kid stuff and plain disrespect. LCB is NOT about rallying troops against other members either.

Shame on you gunny. Your tirade is getting tiresome. You were told multiple times to let it go, but no you got to prove something.

And now you have involved other members who genuinely wanted to participate in that RTG thread.

I agree with Lips 100%, you made a mockery and I personally don't find it amusing at all.

I really don't get this, but maybe I am naive again, I've been accused of that quite a few times.

I really don't understand why someone would want to do something like this to a community that was always supportive to any of its members, including that respective member. I really don't get it.

I don't get it either. Why waste your time devising such a plan to humiliate someone. In fact, what's ironic is that the only one who looks a bit out there is the author of these threads.

Dispicable and who ever this cruel joke was played on i hope the member is unaware of it. Thanks lcb for keeping up and not tolerating this type of sabotage.

Perhaps I am naive but I found the post in question and I am not seeing spiteful, hateful sabotage. 

Maybe being naive isn't so bad after all. 

I should add it seems ironic if someone is being spiteful, why is it okay to flood this thread with MORE name calling? 
I always learned two wrongs don't make a right. 

I still don't get it.  and I *am* naive, even after years here.  lol.  y'all just keep on talking over my head, okay?  

and if you are talking about me, that's cool cuz I am oblivious.  I doubt anyone was, but since I am clueless and haven't gotten the satire of this thread yet, thought I'd throw that in.

no need to enlighten me either, or I might get my feelings hurt by being part of some joke.

PS I am not a rocket scientist but proud to be a life-long space cadet!

I've amended my post because it was probably out of order.

Suffice it to say, I feel like a fool having responded in good faith to your two topics.

You were definitely out of order.

But there are nine posts slamming gunny, administration included.
I don't get how that is not rallying the troops against a member.

I don't get what is going on.  I just see one member being attacked left and right and I think it is very sad.

To make matters worse, every post slamming and name calling gunny is flooded with 'thank you's.  Please explain how THAT is acceptable, under any circumstance, at LCB.

don't look at me; all I did was participate in the thread  about losing online making valid suggestions to what I thought was an honest thread which was actually some attempt at satire

These "troops" are rallying when it comes to supporting/protecting a member and the community as a whole. Some might have used strong words, and that is not nice, but that doesn't really make what initially happened right or less wrong.

Gunny was mocking another member and lcb will not tolerate it.  He was out of order and he knows it.  

Many members responded to two threads in good faith, including myself and he was just mocking another member by creating those two threads and that is definitely unacceptable.  

blue

sad all the way around 

Just my 2 cents worth!

It's a shame it has come to this..again!!

I consider Gunny a friend,he has always treated me with respect and kindness.He is the kind of person who always speaks his mind and he does ruffle feathers because of it...be it right or wrong.

I do not accept or agree with bullying but I for one have gotten irritated with members...new and old who complain...about their winning or losing,the casinos,other members etc..etc.

I'm sure there are people who get irratated with me for being a serial poster and I try to keep my posts to a certain amount but I do get carried away at times!!

We have a great forum here with alot of different personalites and that's the way it should be.

Rose, if a particular post irritates me I just ignore it, I don't go around mocking that member. And that's probably what you do as well.

As for your posts, there can never be enough of those

rose your posts are awesome especially the pics u share as far as the topic at hand,i see more then just one member try to cut down another
(i ignore it just like johnny said
