So again maybe you should have looked it up. And not sure where I said I don't read everything in News SECTION here or what that has to do with anything? I'm sure you will point that out to me? Like everyone else I read what interest me. I'm sorry are you the only one who is allowed to read whatever she wants? Am I missing something. Or are you just trying to drum up drama here?

Getting upset about it is like PETA getting their panties in a wad over the phrase "a bird in the hand".

Not upset, annoyed at the very same people who claim in another post they are gonna try to stop (for lack of a better phrase) post heated comments and yet what does she do? Post a stupid comment as if to make it sound blameless. COME ON. REALLY.

I did look it up (a long time ago) and I have the same definition Bahet posted...

Nope not going to point it out to you. If you cannot remember it then what's the point.. I don't know where I said I can read what ever I want... You're not making any sense and nope I am not drumming up drama.

I think you're reading a little too much into my post tbh

That doesn't mean there isn't more than ONE definition. And you can't point it out because I NEVER said it. I said I don't always read the NEWS. I wasn't referring to here. lol
But YEP i'm the one reading into things. lol
My memory is quite good for IMPORTANT stuff. And this stuff is just trivial....

And its been going on for MONTHS.

This kind of crap right here is most of what got it closed. There was nothing racist nor baiting about that post.
And turned someone's vent into yet another argument. And permanent bans are coming if it keeps up.
Consider this the final warning. And it goes for EVERYONE.

And the next person to try and start something or be a smartass in the thread tags (ANY thread tags, not just this one) will be banned. You all know better.
