PeterT Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I don't think people here are particularly grumpy. But I think it is sort of usually expected on a forum like this, as far as I can see (that enough qualifiers?) that if one is going to contribute regularly, then one should generally know what one is talking about. It is a concertina forum after all, not an agony aunt column!! Maybe that's helpful in explaining apparent grumpiness and no, I'm not over 50. No I am sure that Dopey and Sleepy and the rest of the dwarves are hear as well. Alan No, I've just checked; there are only four votes in the 70+ category.

LDT Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 For a crowd of old crochety old squeezers, should there be a prize? One bit of information the poll missed is beard or not (for the lad of course). What prize would a 'old squeezer' like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to keep with the suggested forum etiquette I posted the picture below. Looks like Bashful is the one with the tina skills. Now I'm jealeous. . Too bad they didn't have a dwarf named Jealeous. At least I'd have something in common with one of 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Rogers Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Bashful..now that sounds like me..though I'm not sure I'd be able to pull off the beard though. ;P As any skoolboy kno, *all* dwarfs have beards, even the female ones (allegedly), so you'd fit in perfectly. What I want to know is, why is Dopey the only one of the seven *not* to have a beard - is he a spy from another mythological race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptarmigan Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'd just like to state that, although my froggy avatar appears to be wearing a skirt, I am not one of the two voters who claimed to be transgender/hermaphrodite.

I'd say DEFINITELY not. Especially when you consider that only 16 of the current 3,300 members have responded to this poll! Still, a little light hearted thread every now & then, is fine in my book.

So; do we have seven C.net volunteers to play the parts of the seven dwarfs? Ability to play the appropriate instruments preferred. Parts allocated on a first come, first served, basis. As an aside, does anyone know whether a second dwarf plays concertina? There appears to be an Anglo abandoned on the floor, to the right of the organist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaskan anglo Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Is there a purpose for this poll? Just asking - Tom In another debate PeterT said that there was a statistic that most people online are 50+ blokes...I said that explained the grumpyness. And someone else said there wasn't many young people or girls. And I'd thought I'd see how it balanced out here. I'm hoping there will be a nice even demographic. Variety is the spice of life and all that. Maybe the under 50 females are working and not spending as much time on the net as we over 50 males are. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_freereeder Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 What worries me about the results are the two respondents who are "Gender: Other" Why? Are you afraid of them? Do you think they are going to somehow corrupt you or sexually assault you? Are you so insecure in your own masculinity that you have to make fun of them? Are you a racist? Would you publicly express your worries if the two respondents were black or Asian, etc? Or are you prejudiced against disabled people? I hope not. So why pick on people who do not fit in with your safe, 'normal' ideas of binary gender? Grrr. And yes - in case you are wondering, I am one of those respondents. Bigoted comments like yours make me so angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
