I had to retire to my couch and be horizontal for a while because I had a whacking great headache and was awful tired by evening, and last eve I wasn’t home.
To those who still had unanswered questions; I’ll reply via PM if you have it enabled.
I may not get to that for a couple days; I really should be doing a first pass at my taxes.
I do appreciate and applaud your willingness to respond to the issues that were left hanging when tomndebb closed the other thread. I’m just wondering why you wouldn’t explain, right here and out in the open, your thinking behind your posts of the other thread. It appeared to me, as you might recall, rank hypocrisy to call for kindness and avoidance of personal attacks from others after demonstrating personal attacks and hostility pretty much right out of the gate.
I’m sure there are a number of people who might be curious to know the answers, but who wouldn’t necessarily care enough to seek out an individualized personal response on the matter.
Maybe you could take one of your swords and carve a bit of the dumbass out of your head. Or, I suppose I could tell you.
The thread derailed into a calm, polite discussion about whether or not **Quiddity ****Glomfuster **was as fucked up as her username. Opinion was divided. Challenges were offered. The thread was closed for entirely unrelated reasons, reasons that strike at the very heart of the SDMB. Do not go there.
So the OP, apparently, is offering to respond to said challenges via a less public network. Or something.
So, you’re encouraging a dumbass to perform brain surgery on ipself! Maybe you should Punt your Cont on down the 'Al! Asshat!
This is one of those threads where people flame each other for no actual reason right… right? Maybe that dumbass carving suggestion was spot on after all!
Damn! I came back too late for more profane rejoinders. At least I can take credit for starting them, since they have been the only matters of interest in this thread.
It just seems strange to me that, if the initial personal attacks and subsequent sanctimony and moralizing regarding others were offered in a public forum, the explanation for how those two things are not hypocritical should be offered somewhere else.
Not at all, since it was closed specifically to determine whether Quentin S. Smith is a sock of prr. That has nothing to do with whether you were somehow being a hypocrite.
No, it was closed for other reasons, and the mod who closed it suggested that if we want to continue any of the topics going on in that thread, we could start a new one. Which you did, so I guess I have the same question as Hentor, if you wouldn’t mind answering it.
Ok, I don’t mind and I will answer the others’ too but I really really must do some stuff that I should’ve done a couple days ago so I’m hoping you’ll bear with me for a bit until I can afford the time to get to them all. Thanks.
