I didn’t post my opinion of you because I assume that you know I enjoy your posts. I can’t imagine what you wrote to make Monty ignore you. He doesn’t think much of me either but he still comunicates with me. Nothing positive, even though I swallowed my pride in that Pit thread where he and Lexicon flamed me, but he still responds.
FTR- I don’t dislike anyone here enough to ignore them.
Well, posts of yours have pissed me off numerous times but I would never not respond to you in thread B just because I didn’t agree with your stance in thread A. I guess it just so happens that you and I don’t really discuss the same things. Of course, I have gotten the feeling once or twice that you don’t like me but hey, you’re not the first! I, for one, don’t avoid your threads but I do recognize that if I read one, the chances are higher than average that I will see something that I disagree with. But isn’t that what life is all about?
Evilbeth: I DO like you, but we DO have different opinions on stuff. That’s OK, it would not be half as much fun if everyone agree. It would be like a "dittohead’ convention.
Monster: You have the brains, morals & penis size of a psychopathic dwarf weasel But I like you anyway… MOST of the time.
2sense: we do agree on some topics. And there are some folks here I sorta avoid, and don’t go to threads they start and stuff, as they piss me off. But I will respond to them, if they direct a post to me. Some folks you don’t like enuf to “invite to your party”, but it is plain rude to “hang up on them”, if you know what I mean. I will do that sometimes to trolls, but it only because I hope they will go away and stop bothering everyone, if WE ignore them.
Daniel- Yeah, you piss me off. You have a tendency to say exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. Like that time I started a thread in MPSIMS complaing about my problems with the Swedish embassy, and my desperation at not being able to be with my girlfriend for another six months, and all the other shit that’s going wrong in my life. Then you responded with:
Which, aside from having no bearing on my OP, was incredibly tactless, offensive, and rude. And this was in MPSIMS, mind you. Since then, I’ve kinda had a chip on my shoulder about you.
freak, I DO truly apologize for the timing of that post. It was insensitive, and rude. I did mean the post, tho, and I think you, perhaps, owe the USA an apology for your original thread where you compared the good ol USA so unfavorably with Sweden. Insensitive, hide-bound bureacrats are not limited to the USA, as I think you have now found.
But, again, the TIMING of my post was completly wrong. I just get a little defensive where the USA is concerned.
Daniel, you missunderstood me.
It is true that we disagree on some issues, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy those posts as well. I was saying that I like your style most of the time, not your position.
The part of your posting habits that I like the least is your tendancy toward martyrdom. I assume that it is a Jesus thing - 1 of our few disagreements. But sometimes this is enjoyable as well. You don’t overdo it too often.
Lighten up, sugar. You will never get along with everyone. And a lot of times I see posts that I think are really funny or interesting and I don’t respond. Can you imagine how cluttered up the board would be if everyone responded to every post they liked or enjoyed? It would look like a mutual admiration society or something!
Just keep being you. Respond when you feel it’s warranted. Apologize when you think you went too far. That’s about all you can do.
DTW, I really don’t think anyone is overtly pissed @ you. I know that I myself am not pissed off at you.
As I said somewhere else, I rather like you. To differ without rancor is one of the base tenets of friendship. I think that it’s the very fact that we are both opinionated and disagree that makes us of like mind in some oblique way.
I am sure you think I am a brain-dead pig-fucker, but that’s okay. ::
DITWD (mind if I call you DITWD?), I’m not pissed atcha either.
I don’t have you on “ignore” but I do see a tendency on your part to be just a bit too quick on the draw, and a bit too defensive about some things. It may just be too much for you to expect that everyone responds in all cases to your posts. It’s a big message board, and some of the discussions get a little fragmented, so it may just be that some of your comments are missed or don’t get responded to because of other exchanges going on in the same thread. (I was going to tell you that the tone of your posts in the latest libertarianism thread was a bit off-putting, but since I went and got all pissy myself I guess I better not go there.)
Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
The way I see it, if you aren’t pissing at least some people off, you aren’t doing your job. Now that doesn’t mean that you have to be constantly obnoxious. But, anyone with strong viewpoints, who isn’t afraid to voice them, will bother people. I frequently get pissed off at you, however, I’ve never been so childish to ignore you because of that (I even used you as an authoritative qute at one point). In fact, if some are ignoring you because of that, I would submit that they aren’t worth talking too in the first place. (of course some exceptions exist).
Xeno: no, you are clearly quite intelligent. However, about that pig-fucker thing, you KNOW it’s illegal, but I guess you can’t stop, eh? But the stockings are a bit too much, I think.
aha: you have given me a good share of the chuckles I have gotten here, I will admit.
Oldscratch: somebody at work said that I thought it was my JOB to piss people off. It’s nice to be good at something, I guess.
Do I really sound that much like a martyr? I would say I sounded more paraniod, but I know at least one poster does this sorta immature stuff, so who knows how many? Ah, well, I have apologized to that poster, and a general apology to all, so: “fuck 'em if they can’t take a joke”.
Hey this place ain’t totally peachy. Some people like me and other’s don’t like me. Hey if ya don’t like me, bite me! And if anyone doesn’t like you, Dan, don’t concern yourself. They can go stick a rusty pipe up their ass!
