One tries. Of course, you realise that lambasting me within my own thread rather than start your own is undermining precisely the point you’re trying to make about me not dictating Board custom in defense of andy, in the “defense” thread, don’t you?
Man, you were taunting the guy. You were pulling us all aside like we were behind the school toilets in high school and saying “How chicken is that Andrew dude? Wouldn’t even come here and fight, even after I challenged him.”
And everyone’s saying “Yeah… yeah… you’re right dude… yeah… what a coward…”
And I’m the sole dissenter saying, “Dude, this is really quite pathetic. This is so self-absorbed and juvenile.” You lost my respect when you did the taunting thing. You had me up until that point. Then it became clear you were more concerned with being popular than you were with Andrew himself. After all, you could have always sent him a private message, or an email, huh? BUt no, you had to do it in public. THat says far more about your true motivations than you’re currently prepared to admit.
Am I right in thinking the “you eat stupid food for breakfast” meme is making it’s way into the SDMB ground water? Oh, I do hope so!
Yep. jrfranchi had specifically pointed out the thread to him, there was no way he couldn’t have seen it given that he was posting in the Pit like a garden sprinkler filled with dysentery, and he didn’t respond. So yeah, I said he had no balls. I still think he has no balls.
How could I have been pulling you aside when I was posting in an open forum on a public message board? If anyone disagreed, they were free to say so. No-one did.
Tells you something, doesn’t it?
Yeah, you’re Mother Theresa, Albert Schweitzer and Don Quixote all rolled into one. Now who’s grandstanding?
I’ll try and sleep at nights.
Can you read palms as well as minds? If so, you should really take that act on the road.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. Why don’t we all respond to threads by private e-mail. Eventually it’ll alleviate the need to have a Board altogether. Incidentally, why are you arguing with me publically again - shouldn’t you be doing this away from public scrutiny, for fear that you might be accused of showboating?
Thank you, Doctor. Shall I tell you about my mother now, or do we save that for next week?
Stupid Food. It’s not just for breakfast anymore! 
Stupid Food is people!
In Soviet Union, stupid food eats YOU!
This is what we call hypcortitical. Look to thine eye first…
This is what we call hypocrititical. Look to thine eye first…
Well that’s just weird…
And amusing!
I think that she’s saying that, seeing as you seem to be on campaign for the position of King Douche of the SDMB, your advice on how to be a kinder, gentler poster is dubious, at best.
Ah, BBF’s just trying to play to the gallery as the sole voice of sweet and gentle reason amidst a sea of howling Yahoos, with me trying to orchestrate the baying mob in a bid for popularity. I don’t flatter myself that I have that much influence, and I doubt if he {she?] gives a shit about whether I’m treating andy unfairly or not. And he hasn’t responded to the flaws I’ve pointed out in his argument about both starting new Pit threads and settling these Pit threads privately. All mouth and no trousers.
Oh, and I forgot to add that andy seems to have heeded the voices telling him to be quiet until he has something useful to say, at least for now: let’s hope he’s having a good long quiet think about how not to gibber and rave.
It is a great line. I hope the poster who knows the six-year-old responsible for it thanks her for her contribution.
Stupid Flakes?
Cream of Stupid?
Stupid n’ eggs?
Egg McStupid?
Stop off at Dumb’kin Donuts and get and get a cup of stupid.
Would that be a big steaming cup of stupid?
Now you see, that’s just cognitive dissonance in action. The message is valid, but because the messenger is someone who you don’t approve of, the message then becomes INVALID. You’re an intelligent guy Miller. You’re very witty. I’ve always respected your intellectual capacity.
Nonetheless, my point still stands… taunting someone as a coward because they refuse to come an enter a Pit Thread that YOU created smacks of self importance and high-school maturity. If someone else had done it… not so bad… but for the author of the OP to have done it is just plain tacky.
No, cognitive dissonance is what I feel when someone like you says they respect me. This is disagreement seasoned with disgust. If Polycarp came in here and said exactly the same thing, I’d still disagree with it. However, since Polycarp is about as nice a guy as you could ever hope to meet, I’d be polite about my disagreement. You, on the other hand, are an asshole. I don’t feel the need to be polite to assholes.
