Please get a new keyboard, your '1' key seems to be sticking.

And no, I'm not disregarding your arguments, I'm just pointing out that they contradict themselves. Isn't that the whole point of this thread! "I don't care about X and nobody can make me care about X. And because I don't care, that makes me right." And people sure bit the bait, didn't they?

My posting style is MY OWN BUSINESS!!! People here should be adult enough to deal with it or simply ignore it!!I don't think so!
If there is any 'bait', people didn't have to take it!!!

Life doesn't work like that. It's not all just about you, there do exist these mysterious things called "other people" that you seem to be trying to communicate with, and if your posts aren't for the benefit of these mysterious "other people" then why bother posting at all?

What you are doing is ANNOYING and RUDE and IN VIOLATION OF NETTIQUETE and in fact <removed>. How about you spend more time answering people and less time typing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and quote tags? Or maybye I'll have to start answering all your posts in 40-point multicolored allcaps bold italic. If it blinds small dogs and the elderly duh, that's their problem not mine.

I have to wonder, though. Why do you do it? <removed>

meritocrat

Why should you care why I do it?!

As a grown person you have to mental faculties to simply disregard what I type! That's simply what a healthy person would do!

Graculus

Ask the person that I was addressing, not me. (said poster was clearly identified in the post, BTW).

Because it would be a shame to put you on ignore. You put more effort into being "controversial" than you do into actually arguing, but once in a blue moon you do seem to have a point. I don't think these pluses outweigh your attitude and posting style, however. Yes, I do. There is a difference between 'can' and 'should', however - just because you have the ability to shit on this board and people on this board have the ability to ignore being shit on does NOT mean we have to cheerfully tolerate it. ...that's the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks! Maybye you're right, healthy people SHOULD disregard what you type. Ignore on. Ta.

I still don't get your hostility toward people that are negative toward you in their posts, meritocrat. I mean, I'm reading your posts and they're so angry. Why won't you take the negative things that people say to you and just as you said "be adult enough to deal with it or simply ignore it" ?
Why scream in caps and show obvious frustration?
I mean, for someone that could watch a child be violated and do nothing about it, I would think you could shrug off a few nasty posts in your direction with a bit more ease.
I'm sorry if you feel dismissed or disregarded. There's not much I can do about that except just leave you dismissed. Learning the value of defending someone weaker than you isn't something that can be placed in an internet post. If you learn it on your own, great. It will increase your worth in my eyes. If you don't learn it, okay. It's sad, but the greatest loss is still yours, but I can't do anything to help you with that. But if you never learn it and continue to demand that NO ONE REACT IN A NEGATIVE WAY, PERIOD. Then that's where your rights end and my nose begins.
You have your own ideas. If you need a congratulations for them, I'm sorry, but I can't offer it and at the same time live up to the standards of my own conscience.
I find it funny that you can justify gross & criminal apathy, but demand so much respect and proper argument tools and proper grammar when you are being addressed.
Anytime we complete an action that replaces compassion with arrogance, and selfishness, then the reaction we get is to either

1) Not be taken seriously
or
2) Something negative

Either way, the point you attempted was dismissed, all the way to throwing this thread in the bog of Elsewhere. Did you want to be taken seriously? Did you honestly expect something different to happen?

meritocrat

Doesn't it? Since you cannot stop me from posting, you perhaps should ignore if it 'offends' you!

Will I Am

I took the OP as asking “us� (well, you ) lots of great questions.

Those questions lead us to interesting, illuminating places. (And maybe we’ll get there yet).

Take them literally; what are the answers? They are not, in fact, easy answers.

(It’s apparent that the original poster is a tribal target of some kind. And that’s interesting too).




I haven't sworn at anyone in this thread but people have sworn at me!!

I believe this is correct. Now… who is “banned�?

(No.. I’ve no idea who “meritocrat� is; no affiliation; no knowledge. I just recognise the tribal-attack pattern).
