Fruit flies ? Did she just call us fruit flies ? [:-]
If she did, I completely want to be let out of that "squash like a bug" comment I made a few days back.
Actually, I really don't. The comment I made, while it probably was in poor taste, ended up leading to a pretty interesting conversation on and off of the thread.
Anyway, some of the comments that I do make would definitely fit the snark category. When people lose every shred of common sense (somebody else already mentioned that 'live in the basement for a month' thread) that they should have been born with, sometimes, snark is the only way of smacking that sense back in them with a clue by four.
Other times, the snark is a way of getting the message conveyed without sugar coating the truth. That happens a lot in those thread when it comes down to "yes, I already knew that, but I needed other people to tell me."
Times different than those, snark can be a way of showing someone just how serious the topic at hand might be. Like maybe unsafe variations of certain forms of play with safety pins, rather than sterile needles. I'm sure My answer came off as snarky, but the advice that I gave about proper medical equipment, finding someone to learn from, and the book I recommended was actually good in content.
So, even though I do admit to being a huge pain in the ass, I haven't had My wings clipped......... yet.
