Jetée

Verbal jousts are nice at times, but when you (meaning: me) keep offending and somehow "rubbing-a-dubbing" a few females the wrong way, I have to wonder, is it all just misplaced context, or do I come off being perceived as a condescending twit? I am recalling a previous member who always seemed so serious all the time, and at the moment of apex, he ofered up the sugestion of using more "smileys" to get across his point better (which is ludicrous) but it seemed to work out for a while. No one got on his case. Am I missing those ubiquitous, lost-meaning faces to elocute my contentions now?

I go to great lengths to sound absolutely neutral at all times, and pardon my way of writing style by never thinking afore-hand, as this is a stream-of-consciousness effort on my part, but this is how I actually speak in reality as well. It goes nowhere to say "you misunderstood me" because I've offended their sensiblities in questioning why this point is a relevant one in the first place, and I try to provide insight by thought expansion.

Is this a rant? I get too easily lured into these, by own making.

Back to basics, I need to start at least one new thread today, if not a two-fer; so, I ask, which of these thread titles appeals to you the most? Hopefully I get two congruent replies before 9pm NYC Standard time.

Camera holding
lying down game
Modern Life is Rubbish
TFP Aquarium
TFP Zoo (I hate this title, but it will be the Animals Thread, Pt. 2, sans the LOLs, sexual innuendos and the ilk)
Destinations
The Red Button
Partial Symmetry (incompleted)
AUTO
History of Pez (probably the most likely one to be started today)
HIstory of Sayings
Architecture / Design Thread
Glasses (I think this is referring to 'sexy chicks with glasses; there's only one link in the queue, so not a likely starter)
Bodypainting
