Well, that's not really what I got out of it. What it really was, to me anyway, was, "UR SO M3344n to poor Jen! Stop it b/c it's not nice to call someone stupid! I'm not going to do it anymore, even though I just did it yesterday. You are such a 13itch!" Kinda thing. And then people turning around and calling someone different stupid, you know?

Sure he's annoying. I totally agree with that; I never said he wasn't. But he's, what, 14 at the most? He's just being a 14 year old dork. So why was it OK to call him stupid, but it's so bad and awful to call LQ stupid when she's almost twice his age and clearly half as smart as he is even now?
