PARANOID is more like it.
Yeesh, lady. While I was sleeping you’ve responded to my one Tweet three times, deleted some of your own replies, blocked and unblocked me, and toggled your account from private to public and back again. Please decaf. Last night I merely asked if you saw The Cove. And I asked you because after I discovered that Sea World has a Twitter account I wondered if someone else who was sad about the demise of another killer whale/ showfish(?) had seen the Oscar-winning documentary. I presupposed you hadn’t. I added the *ducks* action imperative because I mistakenly thought Sea World might throw stones.
…But apparently that’s when your LSD kicked in.
You deleted your first reply which I think may have been about how Sea World rescues animals (in addition to agenting them in show biz,) but again, I wasn’t expecting YOU to be defensive about anything. So since Twitter IS about 140 characters I invited you to talk with me via FormSpring (because really, none of us has figured out what that medium is for,) and thought perhaps there I could clear up any confusion and maybe get another perspective as well.
Instead, you ventured well out of your way to make me roll my eyes. Twice.
1.) introducing my peaceful existence to TwitLonger, and of course
2.) by being an insane person and flipping out yet again without knowing what the hell was going on.
You *sigh* Twitted Longer…
@spidergoodlegs I don’t care to “discuss it” with you. Just don’t reply to me with insults about Sea World. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, obviously ours differ, but doing a ‘ding-dong-ditch’ reply like that one is rude and childish, and I don’t appreciate it. I don’t use my Twitter as a place to start arguments with random strangers.
Well for one, it seems obvious that you don’t really know how to use Twitter correctly anyway. Not to say it’s for starting arguments or even having arguments but anyone who incorporates a way to add more characters so they can tell me how to use Twitter just strikes me as funny. Mostly in a laughing at you kind of way. Secondly, I really wasn’t looking to have an argument. I genuinely wondered if you had seen the documentary and if you did, would you feel differently about the “trained entertainment” segment of the zoological community.
In fairness, I think mine is a legitimate question. At the moment, Sea World’s reporting a “mysteriously dead” 12 year-old orca, Sumar and no explanation for his death. (Orcas in the wild live to around 29 years on average, with a maximum of 50–60 years according to The Holy Factbible.) This paradox occurs shortly after Sea World’s recent embarrassment: exposing a trainer to a killer whale with known aggressive tendencies that ultimately caused her death in front of an audience. The Department of Labor fined Sea World $75,000 for “willfully” committing this oversight just two weeks ago given that the killer whale, Tilikum, was linked to trainer deaths on two prior occasions. Tilikum was used to sire the recently deceased Sumar and still remains in captivity at the amusement park. Sumar’s mother, Taima, also an entertainer, attacked the orca when he was a calf during a show at the Orlando park.
My thought was simply that for a profitable corporation who claims to put a high priority on wildlife conservation, Sea World seems to conceive a lot of dysfunctional show biz orca families while scads of dead whales and whale trainers are floating up in the pools… SAY, FELLOW CONCERNED NETIZEN… DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?
THAT was IT. REALLY.
However, since you got so defensive and weird about it I can only conclude that there’s a conspiracy and somehow you’re in on it or you have a dolphin in your bathtub you’re keeping as a pet. Additionally you’ve never seen the documentary, don’t know what’s going on and are perfectly comfortable with that.
Fucking baby seal hater.
