Foot Tickling at Water Park

[tickledgirl]

Guys, can we please please please let this thread die?

Some people think what he did was trivial. Some people think it was pretty gross. We've thrashed this to death. Can we let it go now?

For what it's worth, I think the situation a few years ago was pretty different, as evidenced by the different responses: In that case two people reacted very strongly. I wasn't around at the time, but it seems that a lot of people had fairly negative opinions of one or both of the guys.

To sum up in biased terms: Someone did something that wasn't 100% on the up-and-up. Two guys jumped down his throat, and claimed to have contacted the cops. Other people thought they were jerks, and said so. That shows a "mob mentality"?

On the other hand, here a bunch of people thought what a guy did was pretty bad. He apologized for it. Some other people thought what he did was okay. Both groups argued. That shows a "mob mentality"?

To paraphrase our Secretary of Defense, you post on the forum you've got, not the forum you'd like to have. For better or worse, this is what you've got. Take it or leave it. But neither of us has anything new to say, and no one's going to convince anyone else. Can we please let it go and move on?

LOL. If you're that tired of this thread, why'd you click on it? Why not simply take your own advice and "let it go and move on"? It never fails to amuse me when somebody decides they are tired of a thread, and therefore thinks everybody ought to be tired of it.

To quote Jerry Seinfeld, "A conversation should resolve itself of its own volition." Besides, outside of the Silly Stuff Forum, no thread is imortal. They all eventually die out. Trying to accellerate this process generally results in having the opposite effect.

I will grant that in my quick recent check of this thread I may have missed it, but I saw no statements by anyone here indicating that what the guy did at the waterpark was "okay"......

in my opinion, it seems that most here agree that it was an immature, dumb act, but jeesh, if I had been indicted by the "TMF Grand JURY" for some of the FAR stupider things I have done in my youth, I would be typing this from the "TMF Death Row" Section!

there appears to be a "judgement/punishment far exceeding the crime" type scenario here, and with people using the words "perpertrator" and "criminal sexual assault" when referring to this young man's ill advised act , you should expect for some around here, me included, to raise an eyebrow and wonder did I miss something far far more serious than what seems to have occurred with an admittedly immature and stupid "one second foot tickle" on a slide full of kids at a water park.......

Note Drew that I was on Primetime's side in that particular thread.....he touched no one without permission.... He asked questions only unless given permission for a touch....and even then he went easier than he wanted to demonstrating self control...

Not so in the case of this thread where no permission was granted....apples and oranges....and certainly no case of mob mentality unless you consider Neutron a mob....LOLOL

I did notice that you were on his side, Venray. But in my mind you weren't part of the mob mentality. In prime's case, all it took was Neutron's "bomb," and then slowly but surely others started jumping on his bandwagon. In this thread, it was similar, though not identical. Though you weren't supportive of Skullduggery's action, I don't remember you recommending jail time either.

When I talk about a mob mentality, I mean that once one or two people speak against somebody, or question their ethics, people start coming out of the woodwork to join in. Of course this is just my own perception, and I respect anybody's option to disagree.

Keep in mind, the rules are VERY different in Italy than in U.S. A stranger grabs your ass there and you complain to the cops, they look at you like you're crazy and say, "So? What do you want me to do about it?" They just play the game very differently there...

XOXO

Hmmm, are most European countries like that, does anyone know? Just considering where I might like to retire to someday. Being completely serious here, no bullshit.
