[B]glee[/B], you lying sack of shit!

Or perhaps I don’t care about getting respect from people who don’t know the meaning of the word.

You said you left off a quote. Everyone knows that, dumbass.

I asked if it was deliberate or if it was accidental, and you still avoid answering while you go on about everything else under the sun.

What am I to expect?

In either case you owe me an apology. First. Before anything else. I know I won’t get it from you, nor (I believe) will you ever say whether it was an accident or deliberate. You act like someone who has something to hide.

I’d assume it was deliberate, if I assumed things, but I try very hard not to assume anything. Part of my training was “Assume Nothing.” It sticks with ya.

So I was OTT. Well, I can be an OTT kind of guy when I get pissed, and I was pissed. I can also admit I was wrong when I’m shown to be wrong, and apologise when it’s appropriate. I don’t see that from my dozen detractors (which they call “everyone.”) I don’t see that from you; I see evasion, while you hop up and down and point and say, “Oh no, it’s YOU who’s doing the evading.”

I’ve shown you where you’re wrong, how you offended me. Once we’re through dealing with that we can more on to how I offended you. And your ludicrous request for cites.

You don’t have to tell us that, it’s patently obvious.

Fine with me. You can change your mind if you want; it’s your pitting.

See correct attribution and coding isn’t that hard; it’s not rocket science. Even stupid,

can do it. Why not you?

Maybe in refusing to honor my request at your agreement to close this thread TVeblen thinks you deserve pitting. More and more, the more you quibble and snivel, the more I feel justified in pitting you. Maybe at first I was OTT, now I’m really feeling justified.

I can stay here forever; where this goes is up to you. It’s your first pitting, so you say, might as well make it a good one!

Check.

122

Or maybe you are having difficulty with the old synapses misfiring. You should take care to neither mis-attribute other person’s posts nor mis-imply other person’s postitions.

123

SnakeSpirit, try to take a step back and look at this. I mean, seriously.

It was accidental. How is that anything but painfully obvious?

How is that request ludicrous? Let’s see:

  1. SnakeSpirit agrees with a number of assertions made by Peter Morris. Asking for cites for the assertions is “ludicrous”.
  2. glee, through an honest mistake, which is obvious to anybody with a brain, misses a single quote tag. Pitting him is perfectly all right.

Is this how the world works inside your head?

Yeah, that must be it. It has nothing to do with the fact that moderators generally don’t close threads for no good reason. No, it must be that TVeblen agrees with you (which makes your team three strong), but sneakily enough doesn’t actually say so.

124

It’s a good thing we don’t have blue people. Just think how they would look beside a tomato plant. I’m not sure whether our tomatoes all died or were eaten by squirrels. We’ve looked for Fox piss at the seed store because someone said it keeps squirrels away. But they didn’t have any. I might try to piss on the bird feeder myself, but I just don’t have that ol’ blast-o-bladder like I used to. Besides, with my luck, there’ll come up a gust of wind.

Oh sweet Joe: Learn how to read! It’s OBVIOUS!

I accidently said Miller said I was sick. I quickly corrected my mistake:

Referring to you calling me sick for keeping lists and admitting it was wierd.

Then I referred back to Miller, making fun of my disabilities:

For those of you (one so far) who has trouble reading English in a threaded debate.
Q.E.D.

Again, learn to read.
I’m fighting ignorance.
I’m disturbing people’s order.
(And people get disturbed when you disturb their order, poor puppies…)
“Order,” The neat little way they compartmentalize their lives to eliminate doubt and uncertainty. In other words, ignorance, institutionalized ignorance.

I sincerely suggest you seek some help… in reading!

Oh, BTW, how OTT, stupid, careless and woo-woo of me to confuse:

Miller: M(vowel)(double consonent extending above mid text)(vowel)(short consonent with curved top)
with
Muffin: M(vowel)(double consonent extending above mid text)(vowel)(short consonent with curved top)

Especially when both of them are trying to trash me in close quarters.

126

What, did glee appoint you h official spokesperson now?
Or did e hire you as an attourney?

127

Obvious to you, but not to retired English professors.

128

Breath of fresh air works fine, for me. :wink:
I don’t think it’ll keep the squirels away, though.

129

How did you know I’m a retired English professor?
I didn’t put that in my profile!
(Are you claiming psychic powers?)

Nah, you just got it from another thread where I mentioned it, right?

130

with regart to post 125, please do not retroactively change my cites. If a matter needs clarification, use square brackets.

131

Actually, despite what you may think from my frequent typos, I am a retired English professor. It never occured to me that you could be one. Are you claiming to be a retired English professor?

132

And now it puts the lotion in the basket. It does this whenever it is told.

133

. . . or else it gets the hose again.

134

And he explains how it happened here (“We misssed a land mine”) Oddly enough, here he claims the ability to detect mines that the detectors had missed. Curiouser and curiouser.

135

There’s a very easy way to find mines that sweepers have missed.

Hint: it involves the sole of one’s boot and a great deal of pain.

136

Well yes, but he claims to have become “aware” of them, and to have continued to do so. Your method works only once, at best. Or worst, as it were.

137

waiting for your “SnakeSpirit, you lying sack of shit” thread now.

138

Just to be absolutely clear, this post was not in any way intended to make fun of SnakeSpirit’s alleged disability. It was intended to make fun of the idiotic hairsplitting in this post:

SnakeSpirit, I apologize for giving the impression that I was making fun of your disability (assuming it exsists) instead of making fun of your general lack of honesty and good faith, which was my intent.

139

To clarify a nitpicking point, I never attained a full “professorship,” (from my peers and admin), but I carried the title. Same with Cultural Anthropology. The competition was too fierce, for one thing, and I was more concerned with survival than status. Being an assistant professor in both was more lucrative, especially knowing I’d never get the brass ring anyway. If you got a full professorship, then congratulations (tell me, was it worth it?).

I make myriad typos, too. The fingers don’t work on the keys like they used to; the eyes don’t catch all the mistakes anymore. And I’ve made some stupid grammar mistakes lately, too!

I don’t judge people. I may try to trash them (though I’m not very good at it, as you have seen), but I’m not a bigot, or a nitpicker. People are human, and they screw up.

On this board, too often, I’m concerned if the screw-ups are deliberate or accidental. Usually, a person with integrity will own up to their mistakes. A person with a normal ego will also apologise for mistakes or even deliberate slights. I’m not seeing that here; I’m seeing maliciousness.

I don’t see you as malicious, though, in case I’m misunderstood again; it looks more like you were just riding the tide of disapproval.

Truce?

Full prof? Not a chance. I was low on the totem poll, and switched to practice law.
