[orthofish]

What does BUMP mean????

[1077]

I do not wish to single out any one site or person but the whole abbreviation thing makes me want to kick the snot out of those who do so. It's not as though we must pay by the word as was common in the days of the telegraph and in my view, those that abbreviate demonstrate their lack of respect, their laziness, and an assumption (always a bad thing) that others understand the message.

I agree with 1077, if you have to text do it on your cell-phone, sometimes all the abbr's all together gets confusing to get the message clear...........JMO

To Rod: lighten up just trying to make light of the situation, but I guess you don't know anything about lightening up. Yes that's my opinion

Mate, i thought you must have been joking as your reply to 1077 was so ridiculous. But no indications where given by you that you were being sarcastic to 1077. If you want people to read sarcasm in your replys you should perhaps be more explicit. Nobody here can hear your tone of voice or see your body language. But really ,is making light of an obviously cruel and arrogant person the right way to go? I say stop them in their tracks and tell them outright, i like a joke as much as anyone but i will never joke about someone like that.
