I've just received a text to tell me that a friend (of sorts!) has called her poor baby Sloane Anais....WTF??? Am I missing something here or does everyone else agree this is just awful?

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:42

I'm not trying to be funny,

gosh you really do know how to make friends.

KELLYMG · 09/01/2009 11:41

NOT FUNNY HELEN.
IF I WANT TO USE CAPS...I WILL USE CAPS.
OK?

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:41

Do you have a sight problem? Sorry if so.

KELLYMG · 09/01/2009 11:40

I DON'T NEED YOUR "FAVOURS" SWEETY...DID I ASK YOU FOR FAVOURS?
NO,I DON'T FEEL THREATENED IN THE SLIGHTEST.
WHY SHOULD I?

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:40

And fwiw you didn't come across as thick initially, so I did think you would get the joke.

nailpolish · 09/01/2009 11:39

stop with the caps

its fucking annoying

KELLYMG · 09/01/2009 11:39

LSITD...THAT'S OK...INTERPRET AWAY...I DON'T MEAN OFFENCE BY USING CAPS.
& AS I JUST DEMONSTRATED..IF I AM SHOUTING...YOU WILL KNOW.
HELEN HAS ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU THAT IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO READ CAPS.

nailpolish · 09/01/2009 11:39

oh my god

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:39

I didn't call you thick, I said it makes you LOOK thick, I was being daft, trying to do you a favour, etc etc

But it obviously wasn't taken that way. I hope that makes it clearer.

LightShinesInTheDarkness · 09/01/2009 11:37

Kelly - to be fair to HBurns, using capitals is usually interpreted as someone 'shouting' in forums etc

Ooh it worked! thanks Kelly. I can read your posts now.

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:35

I think she just feels a bit threatened that someone else is shouting too.

(do you think she can read this?)

ok - the shouting was something that could be overlooked, the personal insults are not acceptable though!

but she might be able to read it better

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:28

PROBABLY

beanieb · 09/01/2009 11:28

Doesn't shouting back make you look even thicker?

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:28

No she does it on purpose, easier for her to read she says - just harder for everyone else

gives me a headache!

PuppyMonkey · 09/01/2009 11:27

Caps lock stuck I reckon...

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:25

KELLYMG WOULD YOU STOP SHOUTING PLEASE IT IS CONSIDERED VERY RUDE AND MAKES YOU LOOK THICK. THANKYOU

KELLYMG · 09/01/2009 11:24

VIOLET HONEY,I WOULDN'T CALL MY OWN CHILD THAT NAME AS IT WOULDN'T BE A NAME THAT I WOULD CHOOSE.
THE POINT IS, DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOUR IS WRONG?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAD BEEN DONE TO YOU...PISS-TAKING IN ANY FORM?
PEOPLE LAUGHING ABOUT YOU...NOT WITH YOU?
CRAPPY UNACCEPTABLE NASTY TREATMENT

HelenBurns · 09/01/2009 11:24

Oh dear.

anais is sweet but sloane?
