  1. The problem's only arisen since I "downsized" my phone, so it's all my own doing. [emoji1787]
  2. Yeah, I don't have a problem on the laptop (using chrome) but I mostly use my phone for on here and it's too small on chrome for my auld eyes - so Tapatalk it is. When's Div doing this new BAWA app? Oh well, at least it gives me a laugh. [emoji1787]
  3. How do you do that? I've unsubscribed from the thread, so I don't get notifcations of people posting, but I still get notifications of replies and likes.
  4. It's not been shrunk, it's just far away.
  5. Another notification, so it appears he still hasn't learned. [emoji1787]
  6. I never knew trees has football teams. [emoji16]
  7. I see that there's a needy c**t trying to get my attention again (tapatalk alerts me, unfortunately) even though he knows he's on ignore. You'd think he'd have learned by now. [emoji1787]
  8. Whether or not someone is humiliated is a personal thing, so a "joke" about acne might be humiliating to someone. At least we now know that YOUR line is somewhere between acne and alopecia. Now, where, in your opinion, are the lines between humour and abuse and between nasty and not nasty. I've no idea if it was a "nasty comment" or not as I haven't seen/heard it (pretty sure I've mentioned that already). Again, that is irrelevant to this point. Anyway, at least you've admitted, in a round about way, that your initial comment about not making "jokes" about a person's medical condition is false. Now, let's see if it really was your last interaction/end of you contributing.
  9. Not at all. I asked a simple question and you've avoided answering it in any coherent manner. Definition of humiliate from the first result on Google (from Websters): "to reduce (someone) to a lower position in one's own eyes or others' eyes". So, it can be in private. If, by your assertion humiliation needs to be public, then what was the need of you putting "PUBLIC"? Ah, reacting differently in private, like domestic violence? I haven't deflected from anything, it's you that's avoiding answering a simple question. That's why I never commented on the reaction.
  10. So personal humiliation is funny if it's in private? Public personal humiliation is not necessarily related to a medical condition. You were talking about medical conditions. I don't need to see it, it's irrelevant to the part of your post that I'm talking about. As I already said, I didn't expect anything like a straight answer, so I'm not surprised. Anyway, what about that acne?
  11. If you read the rest of the the thread you would know that I haven't seen it so I don't know if it was funny/abuse/whatever. That's irrelevant, though, as I'm asking about your assertion that a person's medical conditions should be off the menu for comedy.
  12. Hibs have 4 (McGinn, McGregor, Magennis, Doyle-Hayes), as do Dundee if you include Adam who was on loan from the deid club (Mullen, McMullan, McGowan, Adam).
  13. Dunno. Are you? The point is, Lucy was seemingly objecting to the joking about a medical condition, not that it was directed at Smith's wife while he was sitting next to her. I don't even know what the "joke" was but that is irrelevant to what I am talking about, as is Smith's reaction. To me, a jokes a joke, irrespective of subject matter. Abuse is different, although there is sometimes a fine line between them. Tone of voice, the relationship between the people concerned, situation, etc can be determining factors in whether something is a joke or not, as I'm sure you're well aware. If I walked into a pub and said "you're a fat, ugly, baldy c**t" to someone at the bar then I'm OK if it's my mate but not so much if it's a total stranger.
  14. I'm just trying to find out where Lucy's line is regarding what's an acceptable subject for comedy. I don't suppose I'll get anything close to a straight answer, though. I don't see see him denouncing the "heightest" comments about yourself from various people. Maybe, to him, certain subjects are unacceptable for jokes but acceptable for abuse. Or maybe it depends on the target, or the joker/abuser.
  15. What about acne? So if it was targeted at someone you never knew, you'd be fine with it?
  16. @antrin Are you going to let him talk about your good lady like that? @Cookie Monster Thanks for returning my big spoon. [emoji16]
  17. Yer maw was a bit of a comedian, wasn't she? [emoji16]
  18. And???? It's all genetic, that's why some get certain medical conditions and some don't. Yes, there can be contributing external factors but still, some get them and some don't when exposed to the same things. Anyway, where is your line?
  19. So where's your line? Bushy eyebrows, big ears, freckles, hair colour, ...?
  20. Taking it up tomorrow, then? [emoji16]

  22. How many times do you need told? Being first to try everything in the buffet at a party does not qualify as putting your life on the line for others.
