Carrie. Carrie. Over here. *waving* If I may ... a follow-up to what clearly was a sub-par question from AppleKisses...

Do you feel insulted by a question about feeling insulted? The bulk of the questions on her questions thread have dealt with experiences and opinions.

How do you plan to respond to AppleKisses first volley in the questions-thread race, as some have come to call it?

OH! Now I'm insulted!

Dear Carrie,

applekisses said:

No. But it would make me sad.

News ThreadBare has learned, in an exclusive interview with AppleKisses, that she resents the implication that her questions on CarrieMPLS' questions thread are subpar.

However, one cannot help but notice how AppleKisses has resorted to asking CarrieMPLS questions about her approach to responding to questions on her junior questions thread.

It would appear that AppleKisses, aiming for a swift victory in the questions-thread race, as some have come to call it, has launched a campaign to discredit CarrieMPLS' approach.

Carrie, if you are still here and have not thrown in the towel, how do you respond to these latest developments?

ThreadBare said:

oh, I lobbed it back alright. I lobbed it right back!

CarrieMpls said:

Awww...

LleeLlee said:

Make sure to have only a hint of a smile. Too big a grin makes you look like a crazy old man and no smile at all looks, well, dreadful. Also, be sure to point with both fingers in the sort of 'gun' pose.

WillyWonka said:

Red leaf lettuce, carrots, peaches, tofurkey slices and chocolate pudding cups.

They don't like you.

Where will your next vacation be?

applekisses said:

Cause Insatiable's questions took a year and a half to answer!!

News ThreadBare, as we continue to stay on top of the Org's latest trend -- question threads -- has learned in an exclusive interview with CarrieMPLS that she has "lobbed" a volley back over to AppleKisses.

AppleKisses, as some of you might recall, has been accused of trying to undermine her rival's thread right from the get-go.

CarrieMPLS appears to be employing a strategy of possum here, conveying a sense of sadness in response to AppleKisses' questions but cheering on her own efforts to others.

Carrie, how do you respond to the categorization that you are playing possum with AppleKisses?

CarrieMpls said:

I might need to practice the gun pose before I unleash it on the innocent. Maybe I could hold a banana aloft while winking at the same time?

Why did I ask you a question?

sextonseven said:

That's not a question!

CarrieMpls said:

Oops, I didn't realize we were ONLY allowed to ask questions here. Um, uh...what do you think of people who don't approve myspace friendship requests unless they have met that person in real life?

applekisses said:

I'm going to Seattle next week.

ThreadBare said:

Well I never!

also, how do you pronounce your last name MPLS?

MaPLaS?

kidelrich said:

Cause you like me.

sextonseven said:

well... at first I thought people like that were kinda snobby. But when I re-thought it I realized I don't like random strangers asking to be my friends either, so. eh. ah well.

Do you have any questions?
