How far the should the criticism be allowed to go?

[babyher]

or Eliza ,

 

All I want is a free upgrade

7 days where my bed is made

a clamshell for my shade

Oh wouldn't it be loverly?

 

An aft deck pool that is free of teens

someone else who cooks and cleans

who's from The Phillipines

Oh wouldn't it be loverly

 

Oh, how, loverly it would be

to just lay perfectly still

I would not get up

except to go to the Pinnacle

 

Someone sexy as she can be

not wearing the top of her bikini

she's on my balcony

Oh wouldn't it be loverly

 

loverly

loverly

loverly ......loverly

I will be boarding in the morning.

Bing-bong the Cruise Director rings.

At trips, please be looking;

Shorex is booking;

Make sure you're at the tenders on time.

 

I'd like to change my evening table;

One guy is just a perfect jerk.

He knows every swear word,

And some I have not heard.

It's him or me; I've got no choice.

 

If I am eating, don't take the plate.

If girls are winking, let me take the bait.

 

For I will be boarding in the morning,

Hoo-Hah! The magic day is here.

Bread pudding for us,

No cares to fuss us,

I think I'll book another cruise.

Oh my gosh! These are great! Until I tried to sing them to my husband....something got lost in the translation, like my voice??

Several people poked fun at re-using Listerine (or mouthwash bottles in general) not just Sea King... I was one of them.

 

Truly, I did not think my comment was all that offensive when I posted it, I was thinking more along the lines of "surely you jest" because I just cannot get a visual of this.

 

I stand by my statement that is seems like a waste of time - but because my time is often so limited perhaps my priorities on how I spend it are just a bit different than those how have more of it available. I apologize if it was hurtful to some - that wasn't my intention.

 

Please don't blame Sea King for all the comments. :)

Man, we have some writing (poetic) talent on board here! Awesome!:)

Hey, we met a family of four once on Ryndam where the dad was sipping straight tequilla from a water bottle that he kept refilling:eek:

So far, I haven't seen an direct comment like "you're an idiot, you stupid moron!" Let's hope it never comes to that.

 

unfortunately......this one comes close:

I'll I have to say is, "What a dork for posting this"...

Get a life, you troll...:rolleyes:

IRecently, I've noticed a disturbing trend .. at least disturbing to me

 

Criticisms by posters against other posters that "border on personal attack"

Anytime one posts to an internet message board, you're gonna get some personal attacks. Can't be helped. At least CC is a monitored board. There are other boards out there where the attacks can be absolutely viscious because there is no one monitoring what is posted there. I've been involved in some real free-for-alls on the rec.skydiving message board in years past.

 

I think one needs to develop a thick skin when posting on the internet. If someone attacks you on a personal basis, just ignore it. That's what I do. I simply don't let stuff like that bother me. I laugh and move on to the next post.

 

Of course, if something written is really disturbing, you can always click on the little triangle and bring it to the attention of the board's monitors ... and if they agree the post is offensive, they will remove it.

 

Blue skies ...

My typical day at Fool Moon

begins when I rise (about noon)

I write three hundred posts

and kill several ghosts

and by nightfall I'm nuts as a loon

A Mexican gent from Cancun

Was well known to be nuts as a loon.

When amigos asked, “Why?”

To each one he’d reply,

“Por favor, ‘cause I chat at Fool Moon.”

Your comment was not offensive at all, however the OP's Comment to Jan & Jon on that thread, was a personal attack & nasty..Since the OP brought up the fact that many have made personal attacks & wonders how it can be controlled, I understand why Jan & Jon posted this..

 

Hense my Touche to their post...

My Favorite Things

 

Smiles of kind welcome

On so many faces,

The flowers, the art work

And elegant spaces,

I'll just relax and see what today brings,

Cruising is one of my favorite things!

 

Plenty of choices

For drinking and dining,

All kinds of diversions

To keep you from whining,

It's fun to watch people all the day long,

Especially the guy with the man-boobs and thong:eek:

 

:( When it's snowing!

And it's dreary!

And the day's been bad,

I simply remember my favorite ship

And then I don't feel sooooo saaaaadddd.........

 

The Lido, the Crow's Nest,

The Neptune, The bars,

Strolling the promenade

And gazing at stars,

Being treated and pampered like queens and like kings,

Cruising is one of my favorite things!

 

:( When I'm cooking!

And I'm cleaning!

And the dog's been sick,

I simply call in to my favorite TA

And book me a cruise reeeaaal quiiiickkk.......

[Copper10-8]

Thanks a lot Karen (pretty talented actually for half a Dutch woman;) ) but now that song is going to be stuck in my mind all day long:eek:
