Sorry, IMO the more recent example is a direct insult.
Maybe I need for a person to finish their idle musing with "that's a joke". Well, unless you're ANDY... He posted a response yesterday, so dry, that I actually laughed out loud.
I don't understand how someone can make a comment which (AS FAR AS I CAN TELL) is a direct attack on my work ethic but I don't have the right to stand up for myself.
I don't understand why anyone would question my reaction.
How should I have responded?
Lastly, I'd like to thank "R." for starting this thread!

Actually, I said that, not Allrevvedup
I never said you don't have the right to stand up for yourself, and that wasn't even necessarily directed specifically at you. I didn't see that comment as challenging your work ethic, as you put it. I more saw it as one of those circumstances where the intent of the message gets lost because it's difficult to convey properly through a text format. It wasn't meant to be a scathing insult, more...an idle musing
We're all fans here (even if some of us go about it in different ways to others), and I don't think anyone here would insult your work ethic just because of it. Which is why it threw me a little when it was torn to shreds the way it was.
I don't know, maybe I'm trying too hard to see the good in people and I'm ignoring the facts because of it. That was just my interpretation of it, and apparently I can't even go back to review that anymore
My apologies if I've caused more drama with that line than I should have
