wow. you guys are the worst hipsters ever. You’ve convinced me that you’re indeed old school but haven’t yet proven that’s something to be jealous of. If you guys are the screeching representatives of the past of this message board, it’s good to be new.
i like this place i think it’s fun. if the dinosaurs are bored maybe its because they are running out of steam. i can’t speak for the rest of the new assholes but i for one am just getting started.
There is a small but subtle difference between modification and causation.
Well, she jumped all over Aeschines, calling his interpretation of some numbers “pure subjective crap”. I explained to her why every interpretation is subjective, and in the process asked her not to be such a dick (by jumping on people for nothing more than holding subjective opinions). She responded with a paragraph-long insult offering to change her behavior when I change mine. Nothing related to this issue at hand, mind you, but my behavior as she sees it from time to time. She had at least one alternative way to respond — something along the lines of, “You’re right, opinions are subjective and I came down on him kind of hard.” But I guess that would have elicited fewer cheers from her fans. 
The difference is neither small nor subtle; it is complete and utter.
Liberal, check your tank. You’re a brain low.
that’s the play by play. Your post suggested that she was claiming that you caused her behavior. And I don’t get that interpretation from her post, as I noted in the post you quoted.
Now read it with a bit of sarcasm. Ok, rather a lot of sarcasm. Don’t move your lips.
That’s exactly my point. You proved it right there. It’s like an electric blanket for you broads, you can just turn “bitch” on and off.
And yet, you are already boring.
And you, Liberal, had a number of alternate ways to make your initial point that did not involve insulting me out of left field AGAIN. So if you’re going to turn your penetrating insight to the issue of whether other choices might have been made as to what to say, I’d suggest you analysize your own conduct before presuming to analysize mine.
And you might also consider whether people have “cheered” not because they are my very own personal fans but because THEY AGREE WITH WHAT I SAID. That’s a difference neither small nor suble, right there.
Well, then please allow me to retract and regret my “dick” comment, leaving only the point of the post — namely, that in the end subjectivity is all there is. I’m sorry for calling you a name.
Oh, yeah, us “broads,” so unlike some of you men, where the “asshole” doesn’t have an off-switch. :rolleyes:
Actually, you don’t have to change a thing. You seem to be well liked over at the other place. Looking at you in this thread it isn’t hard to explain why. lol.
Actually I retract that. I don’t know LM and I don’t know what made me post it.
Ooh, talk dirty to me.
Liberal.
( I keed, I keed)
I’ve been following the SDMB off and on since the AOL days and this thread is the first time I’ve ever even heard the phrase “the other board.” I have no fucking idea what “the other board” refers to. 
But you can bet I’m insatiably curious now. 
Lastly; are we in Junior High School for fuck’s sake?! Are we still wringing our hands and having moments of personal anxiety because kids at the other table might say something bad about us while we’re not around?
Who fucking cares? Why does it matter? If they come here to stir shit up, they’ll get banned by our dutiful moderators. If they want to say crap about us over there, fuck em! That’s right, fuck em! It’s their right to say what they want behind our backs, and if they choose to be assholes, we shouldn’t waste our time worrying about it.
PS. As I’ve said before, I love the SDMB. I agree it’s not the community it once was, and I regret not being more involved at the time and getting to enjoy that, but I still think it’s an awesome board and as long as we’re re-upping to show our support I don’t think the site’s going anywhere.
Ditto. Sweet lord, what is this other board of which people speak? I am too curious now.
This line is cracking me up for some reason. I have taken to calling my co-workers ‘squares’ lately, to their utter bafflement. I have no idea why I do it, but I do know that I will begin replacing ‘squares’ with ‘weirdos’ tomorrow morning. It just tickles me for some reason.
You’re a cunt. Is that better?
The SDMB is like California: a place that has always been “used to be better” for as long as anyone can remember.
