And the people said “One and one is two
There’s nothing left for us to do
But since we can blame it all on you
We will kill the messenger”
~ John Wesley Harding
Seriously. Step away from the computer.
Oops, I meant that I would certainly not pit her about it.
Do you not consider the source of advice you get? Do you take medical advice, for example, from your physician or from the guy in the cubicle next to yours? Why should Guin take Waverly’s or the OP’s or anyone else’s advice, if it seems from her perspective to be uninformed? Shouldn’t the tone of the advice, no less than its content, and the amount and kind of interaction she’s previously had with the would-be mentor go into determining how much if any weight she gives such counsel?
Shit, I sure as hell hope you make it a point to consider the source of any advice that comes your way; might save you from being steered down some dead ends.
Especially when you consider that this is the guy who has a website devoted to keeping track of all of our little upsets and foibles, complete with cross-references and links to our profiles, listing Pittings, and meltdowns. :dubious:
<Ahem> Let’s not bring offsite affairs onto the SDMB, please. Thank you.
Link, please.
Seems to me you are bullshitting here ETF. You weren’t implying that the advice was trash? Regardless, no I don’t consider the source when looking at everyday advice, I consider the actual advice. Hard to fathom, I know.
On preview, go ahead and disregard anything you feel like Guin. If you think my homepage somehow invalidates my point then maybe you aren’t as intelligent as I supposed. What-the-fuck-ever.
It wasn’t clown. It was clown porn that was mentioned. Now I’ve got a picture of that plastic Ronald in the new ads doing unspeakable things. You bastard! I’ve come to realize you are one sick, twisted man hellbent on ruining my mental and physical helth. All this wretching can’t be good for the esophogus!
And in a semi-defense of Q.E.D.'s post count, pulling a number out of my ass I’d say about 80% of all my GQ threads have had him posting a very helpful answer. Based on that, I wish he’d post more.
And Guin? Don’t worry about the Pitting. Doing the math it’s not hard to rack up a shitload of posts. If a person hits an average of 8 threads a day in any of the 5 most visited, and posts three times to each (not hard when someone has as many interests as you) it comes out to 8,760 per year.
Considering those 24 posts in a day can be easily done depending on the thread and thoughts offered in less time than an episode of Lost or Survivor, I’d be hard pressed to think it was an indication you’re somehow obsessing over being online too much. It’s just as plausible you spend as much time on the internet as anyone else does watching TV.
It’s funny someone spends time he could be spending out in the real world googling posts of someone. Sitting at an internet connected computer.
Just a thought or two.
Thanks for the link, “Luc Nopantes.” And here I thought I oughtta catch up on some Thomas Harris.
Not bad readin’ so far. I guess pulp’s pulp.
Oh, me too! email is in the profile. I’ve got over 2 years here, so I’m sure there’s plenty of hours ahead to be spent reading my fan mail. 
Now, come on.
Yes, I suppose 24 (or whatever) posts a day could be normal, for some people, for a while. But SIX YEARS? Starting at age 22? People, there’s a line between being understanding and supportive of someone who has issues, and being enabling and feeding into destructive behavior.
When I look back on my twenties, and all the things I experienced and learned, all the places I went and the people I met and the things that I did… I can’t help but think what a waste it would have been to have spent those years online, all day every day. Life is not on a computer, it is to be lived. I don’t care who you are.
No man, I’m leaving that to someone else. If you search, they’ve snicker already got a substantial file on you, in fact, it seems you were a hot topic last autumn.
Dude. What is it with you and gerbils?
E-mail sent to you and duffer.
I know I came out of nowhere, but can someone email me the link too? Thanks.
Consider it a done deal.
Oh boy! I got the link from a couple other’s. I haven’t gotten to me yet, but I’m so excited! What do I win if I’m the most hated? It’s gotta be a free subscription, or a keg of beer, or the Nobel Prize or something!
Anyway. I’m off to see what someone that actually needs to step away from a computer has to say.
I’m al atwitter! 
Suspensions all around for idiots who can’t follow simple instructions!
/if only. . .
Well, no, actually you – see, the sperm swims up the – um, when a man loves a woman, he –
Go ask your father, willya? :o
Never mind about the uproar about the link folks. It’s pretty fucking weak. I didn’t make the top 38 most hated.
And that’s wrong no matter what the list criteria is.
Garfield226, if that was in reference to the link, I understand the rules to be you can e-mail links to stuff people that don’t know what’s being talked about if it realtes to what is happening in a current thread.
I could be wrong and thread may be closed, but that’s what SOP is from what I’ve seen.
But seriously. This is fucking weak. It’s depressingly weak. I’m going to have my wife take a picture of me mooning to e-mail to everyone that sent the link.
That’ll learn yas bastards! 
Heh. You’re just jealous coz you didn’t make the cut.
