Oh, bullshit, catsix. Let’s just do some copying and pasting from the other thread and see what exactly was said:
See that bolded word? It’s a plural. It doesn’t mean one vegetarian, it means more than one. So much for you “only meaning Marley.”
I asked you to find a quote of someone calling you an “evil animal killer.” You replied:
Cockatiel used the phrase “innocent animals,” not Marley. Sounds very much like you were accusing Cockatiel, not Marley, of judging you. You even quoted Cockatiel’s statement and argued with it.
You also wrote this:
Isn’t that saying that any vegetarian who makes any mention of the suffering animals is judging you. Because of course, (here we go again) IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU. :rolleyes: They aren’t mentioning the “suffering animals” because it’s, like, their reason for not wanting to eat meat, or it’s a personal choice they’ve decided to make. Oh no. It’s all about judging YOU.
It’s pretty absurd to try to backflip now and say that you didn’t mean what you obviously meant.
Here, I think, is your problem. An important part of expressing oneself in written form is context. You seem to think context is irrelevant, as long as your words are technically consistent with your opinions, and you believe your opinions are defensible. Context matters. Charging into a thread about “why X group believes Y” and talking about how believing Y for reason Z is really stupid, when no one has yet expressed opinion Z, is confrontational and obnoxious. If you still feel that you must contribute this sort of opinion, it’s not hard to put appropriate qualifiers to prevent misunderstandings and keep the thread from being hijacked.
Did I say that before or after you showed up frothing at the mouth at me?
Well then it was Cockatiel who started the whole thing about who kills innocent widdwe animals and who doesn’t. It doesn’t much matter to me what the name of the person is, I still think the ‘innocent animals’ argument is lame as hell.
It means shut the bloody fuck up because it’s tired, old, and really goddamned stupid to keep bleating the same bullshit about the ‘innocent animals’.
I’m sure it makes them feel like wonderful people. It’s still bullshit.
And? I said what I think, I used the words ‘too many’ not ‘all’ to describe a specific subset of vegetarians. I don’t see this as my problem.
My words are consistent with my opinions. I do not pussy-foot them, nor sugar-coat them. Not my fault that yosemite and Marley went so apeshit over it. Shit, I thought yosemite was going to have a stroke, and I’m starting to think that again.
She needs to calm down? You were the berserking crusader running rampant through a thread where people tried to discuss a subject about which reasonable people may disagree. If anyone were going apeshit or apoplectic, it was you.
You’d do well to listen to Giraffe’s advice. That your words are consistent with your opinions is absolutely true, but as he said, context matters.
“Frothing at the mouth”? You absurd person. I am amused, yes. Frustrated by the tired old “those evvvvviiiiil vegetarians are judging me” line, yes. But “frothing”? No. I’m not the one spewing out profanities, m’dear.
“Yeah yeah yeah, I actually said that more than one vegetarian was judging me, and I couldn’t even get the names straight. But that doesn’t matter. Even though, in my previous post, I crowed about how you weren’t being ‘accurate,’ when it in fact was me that got all the facts balled up. Never mind, it doesn’t matter how stupid I’m making myself look—all that matters is that you are wrong and I am right, no matter how many stupid statements I make.”
Yeah. I get it.
Oh, you poor dear. Please. I see some spittle at the corner of your mouth. Coud that be (shudder) froth?
Come on. You think it’s old and tired, you poor sensitive creature, who can’t bear to hear someone else give a reason for their own personal dietary choices? Well, look at it from our perspective. There are plenty more of you (omnivores) than there are of us (vegetarians) and we get faaaar more of the “tired old shit” like, the imaginary assumption that all vegetarians are judging you (omnivores), or that we (vegetarians) secretely really want to eat meat, or that “Plants have feelings too, nya nya nya.” We get far more crap than you’ll ever dream of getting, so just stop your thin-skinned whining. Sheesh. Give me a freakin’ break.
Oh, you poor delicate creature. And perhaps they feel that they are better than you, too! I mean, even though they don’t say it or think it or anything, I’m sure they really do judge YOU. You fragile thing—how do you take such grievous (coughimaginarycough) treatment? :rolleyes:
You are truly amusing. This coming from the one spewing profanity and getting more and more agitated. Truly amusing.
So being very amused and having a lot of fun parodying you looks like “having a stroke”? And getting more and more angry, using more and more profanity, that somehow is the ultimate of calmness?
Wow. This thread is getting more and more entertaining all the time.
This is your problem. In the context of that thread, criticizing the behavior of “too many vegetarians” reads as an attack on all vegetarians who hold similar opinions. The tone of your posts in that thread sounds like you think most vegetarians are stupid and you don’t care if the vegetarians in that thread think you’re talking about them or not. If that’s not what you were trying to say, it is incumbent on you to communicate more clearly. In my opinion, you could and should do this by being more aware of the context in which you’re posting.
If you don’t care about saying things in such a way that most reasonable people will interpret them as being insulting and obnoxious, well then get used to people thinking you’re an asshole and starting Pit threads about you. For good reason, since that’s pretty much the dictionary definition of being an asshole.
You are aware that the parody she wrote wasn’t actually my words, aren’t you?
I use a lot of profanity. You, however, seem to be using a lot of emotion.
I made a mistake on who said what. That happens when I’m paying attention to other things in addition to posting.
Like some nails? I don’t need them, and you’re clearly upset over who gets more shit on a daily basis.
Weren’t you just whining about how you as a vegetarian get more shit on a daily basis because more of the world is omnivores?
Profanity is a normal part of my vocabulary. It has fuck-all to do with ‘agitation’.
You seem to devote a lot of energy to me.
It’s really not a problem for me.
I don’t think I missed anything. The thread was about vegetarians, my post was about some vegetarians. Now, a couple people are all in my shit for ‘taking things too personally’ when, oddly enough, that’s exactly what they did when they assumed I just had to be talking about them.
I’m well aware that not everybody’s posts are about me. Course doesn’t seem they are aware that not all my posts are specifically about them, so they get all tweaked and start making really wild parodies. There’s nothing I can do about that.
Yes, I suppose that “highly amused” is an emotion.
Oh, honey, you made more than a few. You also made the mistake of pretending that you were “accurate.” But never mind. Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Oh please. After reading the thread in GD and the previous one (that someone linked to here), it’s quite obvious that you think that all those mean veggies are out ta getcha.
Do I hijack threads in the way that you have (more than once) to whine? No. I am merely stating a fact about the kind of stuff that vegetarians get. I’m not the only vegetarian that can attest to this. It’s just something that goes on.
But angry profanity has everything to do with “agitation.”
I type very fast and I derive a great deal of enjoyment from noting your follies.
Huh. I guess there’s really not much more that can be said. I will just have to keep in mind from now on that catsix is not actually participating in the debate but arguing with the strawman in the corner.
Don’t mean to interrupt the festivities, but you mentioned something about pork and no gall bladder. Is there some connecttion there? My husband has no gall bladder and he is randomly getting sick. We have not narrowed it down to a certain food or activity (sometimes it is immediate, sometimes hours/days; so we can’t know). Why is that pork would be so unique to the gall bladder?
*** Sorry, end Hijack, resume rebuttals over vegeterianism, persecution and the death of small furry little creatures (pausing only to let me know if I should tell my hubby to cut out pork)***
She eats a lot of pork, and specifically likes the fat on the pork, which for whatever reason her doctor told her would probably lead to her getting diahrrea if she continued to eat pork the way she normally did.
So, sis eats pork, and sis gets the shits.
I don’t know medically why it happens, but it happens every time.
That makes perfect sense. It’s not the pork per se, it’s the fat. Without a gall bladder, your sister’s body isn’t producing bile, so she can’t digest heavy fats properly. Here’s a site that explains in simple language how the gall bladder works on fat.
Catsix, I hope that you will let us know when you are agitated for real. Maybe you can use an asterisk or underlining or something so that we can distinguish a teasing or casual use of such phrases as…
…from those times when you are truly offended.
Of course, if you really want to appear to be “annoying stupid or foolish” (Webster’s definition of a “jerk”) by conveying a state of mind which you really don’t feel (in this case, “aggitation”), then that is another matter.
But unless there is something new and different and tangible to indicate that you are serious in your comments, I will assume that you are just joshing and enjoying the fun of profanity.
Here’s a new one from the two year old son of a friend: “Fuck Bubble!”
