bebe,

Patronized you? Wow, you sure do no how to twist everything around in your head don't you? I am going to break it down for you so that you can see what happened...you really are an interesting guy to say the least:

Here is your very first post in this thread-

you bunked the quotation marks in the title, gg kthxbai

i guess i can understand people not liking halloween beacuse of some personal conflict or they were scared as a kid or something, but if not, you've got to be a nit to not enjoy halloween. this is one holiday where every age can have extreme amounts of fun with it.

I didn't respond to this, I ignored the "kthxbai" immaturity which is patronizing as well as calling me a nit. So who is doing the patronizing?

The next post made in this thread was by you-

I agree with Ser William. You're just hating on this holiday for no real reason other than you're being a grouch. I don't get it. Who cares if Targets or Wal-Marts start selling Halloween merchandise on the 4th of September? Why does this bother you? If people want to celebrate a holiday and it makes them happy, then they should.

You called me a grouch. This stuff doesn't bother me but I am only doing this to show you that you are flat out wrong in saying that you were the one being patronized. So this is your second post in this thread and now here is my first response to you in this thread (second page--100 plus replies in)-

Should this really be directed at me? I guess, I mean I started this thread but I am hardly the only one taking this stance within this thread.

I also never said people shouldn't celebrate, they can do whatever they want. The Da Vinci Code is a [censored] book but that didn't stop it from being a best selling book and breaking records, just b/c I realize it is no more than an airplane read doesn't mean that some knotheads are claiming that it changed the way they look at literature. Am I a grouch b/c I can't stand Dan Brown and millions love him? I let them be, when someone brings up that crap book mentioning how it is their favorite, I don't say anything--they can be happy in their own little bubble, this is fine.

Same thing w/ Halloween, I am not a grouch b/c I think the holiday has lost everything that it once was. We all aren't going to like the same stuff, notice that all I did was say that Halloween was ridiculous and then I was the one that was called names for it. Maybe some of you Halloween lovers should be the ones to relax a little, do you guys own shares of Halloween on the DOW or something?

You start w/ the gang mentality, "I agree w/ Ser William..." and call me a grouch after you had already responded once in this thread and I ignored you and you don't expect me to say something? For one my response was fine, a perfectly reasonable response--the last line I was a smart-ass but it was directed at not only you. If that line bothered you then maybe you needed to some therapy Halloween night and not pumpkin carving b/c that is some thin skin my friend.
