Actually Ialie's new sig is worse, because its calling ALL of those who cannot get or afford or want broadband retards. Please don't take this the wrong way if I start referring to you as a retard whenever I speak to or about you then, as you just KNOW that isn't a banworthy insult. Retards.

I liked Ialie's old sig. But I would have HATED it if I had been upstairs on the wireless. I remember freaking out at Maedhros'...like 6 American football footage video things >_<

Actually it is calling their ISP retarded. Not them.
See if I was talking about them I would say Mentally retarded. Then the adjective retarded would be describing their mental capacity. You see in this case it is not. The word retarded is describing the ISP. So basically what I am saying is that DIAL UP is retarded, as one would say growth is retarded. Which in this case the definition for retarded would be to move or proceed slowly, which is exactly what DIAL UP does. So.. I am not sure how this is more offensive than saying things like XBOX SUCKS!
and wow...

You are easily offended. Rauros has a sig that indirectly says you have a small user posted image so jump on his case for awhile tongue.gif

Well I would if it was in any way innacurate, but as it is not, why should I get offended about it?

I am one of those who can't get broadband and is stuck with a high-latency 56K-on-a-good-day frequent-disconnects cellmodem, and my sense of humor allows me to appreciate Ialie's new signature. I've just got the sense to block things when I'm on low-bandwidth. Heck, I browse with pictures off entirely here. Maybe if she's insulting anyone, it's people who have low bandwidth and don't have the sense to adjust accordingly, but just whine instead. If that's who she's making fun of, more power to her.

Ialie is right there; ISPs ARE not only slow but also crewl and unusual punishment. I loved her old sig (and wondered who all those faces were) but all but cried when it came to loading the thing. The cache didn't help either for some reason.



Though, it's not 'ISP retarted', it's 'Internet deprived individual'

Oh, heh, I didn't realize that's who they all were. Suppose it makes sense though. biggrin.gif

I was wondering why they all looked different yet all seemed the same.
