Now that you've made me dizzy and sick for simply attempting to read, I'll do what is necessary to avoid this unpleasant physical experience in future.

How cruel it was of the internets to force this on you!

Why... there should be some intertubes police you can call when your poor, precious, sensitive eyes are assaulted by something someone put on your screen and made you watch!

I mean, what else could you have done? Imagine the hassle of just scrolling to the part of the page you wanted to read while leaving the rest off? My GOD, the HUMANITY! Hold up a hand or piece of paper? You could pull your widdle pinky finger attempting a stunt like that!

Seriously: If you have that much trouble with .gifs, it's not the fault of other posters. Grow up and take responsibility to deal with each encounter yourself. Either that, or throw tantrums and 'ignore' everyone who might ever post a .gif... until you are all alone on the internet.

and try to explain to you that all that flashing, blinking, annoying shit can make someone have a seizure.

Does it make you happy to know that you can cause someone to seize at their computer screen so you could enjoy a little bit of childish blinking things?

No, one could chip a nail hitting an extra key. It's entirely the responsibility of the entire internet community to never post .gifs anywhere Aquart's sensitive eyes may roam.

How do these people have the means to buy a smart phone?

I'm reminded of the Robert Crumb cartoon of the dork who tried to eat an ice cream cone and planted it squarely on his forehead.

Duke asked me earlier why I thought the Duchess St. Rollins FB page is getting screwed with so much more than his. The teabillies constantly make fake DSR profiles and spam my page with vile, bigoted shit.

THIS is why. ^^^

They're used to dragging "their" women around by the hair and calling them "sugar tits." In their minds we shouldn't even talk, much less have fucking opinions.

Liberal men, you rock!
