chained_bear commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
As a phrase, seen here, with a link to this article.
What a great phrase. We should use it more often. Wordie is a fine place for phony umbrage taking.

reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
Ha! When I read your other excerpt (on gnome) I was going to suggest you add this phrase to Wordie. We must think alike.
That frightens me.

What?! I condemn your remarks.
October 30, 2008
atourgates commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I reject your condemnation and demand condemnation + renouncement.
October 30, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I'm highly offended! You will apologize immediately.
Both of you.
October 30, 2008
chained_bear commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I take umbrage at that, reesetee. There is no comparison between your reprehensible comments and Atourgates's demand for a renouncement of my condemnation of your remarks. The decent thing to do is apologize and renounce your terrorist pals.

Why do you hate freedom?

chained_bear commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
That is an execrable statement and I demand a retraction. I am shocked—shocked!—that a fine marsupial such as yourself would repudiate all the opportunities you've been given. To apologize, I mean. Or to use brackets! I am shocked.

sionnach commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I just want you all to know that I am keeping a detailed list of all the infractions of the norms of civilized behavior that go on here. So don't delude yourselves that your assorted transgressions will pass unnoticed.
Apologize, retract, atone, renounce NOW. While there is still time.
You know who you are.

October 30, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
Clearly, chained_bear is mocking the difficulties that average Wordies face when posting on pages such as "marathon of phony umbrage taking." I mean, is she or is she not for the people?
I demand a retrac--aaaaagh!

Steady, steady. It's a marathon not a sprint.
October 31, 2008
chained_bear commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
Bilby, that phrase is actually posted on the top of my monitor. And I am highly offended that you would stoop to such depths as to quote my silly monitor sayings simply to make a comment. I demand a retraction.
October 31, 2008
bilby commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
Bah, not enough there for you to get upset about. I am not a premature retractulator.
P.S. Why do you have cliches on your lizard?
October 31, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I see you've made it out of the self-hole, chained_bear. And I'm shocked--shocked--that you would take umbrage at bilby's comment. I demand that you retract your demand for a retraction.
October 31, 2008
chained_bear commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
It's not a cliché. So there. Nyah!
I take umbrage that anyone could possibly ask me to retract my demand for a retraction. Reesetee, your actions are deplorable. I demand that you immediately issue a retraction of your demand that I retract my demand for bilby's retraction!
I am highly offended. And also quite a bit confused.
October 31, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I hereby stand by my words, and I refuse to retract my demand that you retract your demand for bilby's retraction.

November 1, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking
I am highly offended at your thumbprints on that dictionary, chained_bear.
Wait...is it my turn?

November 3, 2008
reesetee commented on the word marathon of phony umbrage taking

But still, I'm oddly offended.
