and bugbread throws in a dash of hot nigger cum and a smattering of dead jew. positively delightful!
closed at 104 with a comment from matt saying something like "thats enough of that!" for the win.
every time they delete something they look foolish.
having had my social and professional skills summed up this way: "Niggerbitch, they only like you because you got tits" on a near daily basis by a co-worker for the last few months has put a tad bit of a negative spin on what I find a ridiculously cheap and unoriginal epithet.
In general, I hate the word and I'm always surprised when people who otherwise appear to be articulate and intelligent toss it around.
jessamyn fills that niche, don't you think?
Or to put it another way, bugbread--is there global warming or do you need more data before you make up your mind ?
For chrissake, you had two people in the same place saying the same thing. How much evidence do you need before you come to a conclusion to which you so obviously do not wish to reach ?
Bugbread, resonse to you in this thread. I describe you from my viewpoint and you automatically deny my viewpoint.
What people find frustrating is a nit picking, hair splitting refusal to see things from their side at all.
If you can't make explicit sense of people's postion, why expect they make sense of yours?
Splitting hairs is talking down or at least can be easily misconstrued as such.
You refuse to see things from the perspective of the other person and demand tedious clarification before you can see the other person's side.
Neither do I think it productive to dispute everything they say and pose oh so clever to me only rhetorical questions.
Look, dhoyt addressed me by first name in that very thread. He addressed lupus_yonderboy by first name in the thread linked. He has addressed me by first name before and I remember a long deleted thread where he and Steve_At_Linnwood kept calling Fold_&_Mutilate by his first name. Do you need links ? I can provide them. Will you need to examine everything then linked really closely and take a real long time doing it before you reach your eminently wiser assessment ? Do you tend to make people wait for you in real life but are in a real hurry if they want to dawdle ?
Bugbread, you were hammering on the same damn question that you knew wasn't going to get answered.
Sure took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to reach that conclusion, though.
But you kept hammering at him, even when it was clear he had moved into flip-out land and nothing good was going to come of it.
I don't buy this 'Well, he deserves it because he's a jerk.'
It sucks that it comes across as a way to give myself as a leg up, because I'm usually trying to use it as a way to avoid unnecessary conflict.
I often wish there were an emoticon for the expression on Dwight D. Eisenhower's face upon hearing about Truman firing Douglas McArthur. That one I could use.
