That assessment of the situation would be perfectly understandable if one did not read this entire thread or had not witnessed GQ’s frequent sanctimonious outbursts.
Quiddity if you think that was a ‘debate’ you are sorely mistaken.
Featherou, I think the meat of the cocunut is that, she’s a drag. Anaamika reports that she cringes to see Q come into a thread. Who wants that kind of legacy? I certainly don’t. If she’s happy being a drag, shrug. It just seemed that it needed to be pointed out to her.
I think i figured out the issue of the gender thread. What Q’s comment meant to me was: Poster A thinks that his/her posts are colored by Poster B’s gender.
What Q has said is : Poster A’s comments are colored by Poster A’s gender.
It’s not what the consensus is, as I understand ppl’s take on it.
What bothers me about Q is this “smart” business. We all know Dopers who score high on intellligence tests, others who are leaders in their fields. We welcome other intelligent individuals to the fold. But don’t sit there and wallow in your ‘smart-ness’. It’s not good form. And Q, don’t worry about the “big” words. We understand you. More than you do us, evidently.
You completely lost me. Whose assessment? Were you talking about my assessment or Orbifold’s? As for me, I’ve both read the entire thread (although not in order) and have been the lucky witness to QG’s behavior many times.
And it’s QG! Get the letters right.
GQ stand for Gentleman’s Quarterly and is a whole 'nother thing altogether.
I’m with you H and Roo. I tink he got it backwards.
You know Quiddity, I think - and someone had to say it - you will end of imploding in it.
Oh, yeah I meant Orbifold’s and I always get those confounded letters mixed up.
Glomfuster!
Stupid of me to step foot in this thread, but the “smart” thing seems like an unfair criticism. She was writing in a thread the very purpose of which was for people to explain how an apparent advantage (beauty, intelligence, or whatever) can actually cause trouble for those who have them.

I remember that thread. Except I don’t. Where did that one guy say that that one time? (Searching but not finding.)
I’ve used that line at least once as well. I can only hope I had some small hand in its propagation as a meme.

It is from this SDMB classic.
Wow. Just wow.
No kidding? (And I know this is repetitive) Wow. Just wow.
holy shit. :eek:
Lots of Pots & Kettles in this thread.
I like reading QG’s posts.If I get pitted or simply shit smeared for saying that,tough.
To QG: Your style doesn’t bother ME but Frank summed up a few cogent posts in this thread in #263 which should be considered.
What's this about proper response to a pitting being to stay out of it? Didn't see that in the forum rules.
brownie 55: You remind me of my grandfather’s bulldog,once it latched on to something Grampa would have to pry its jaws apart.I thought you were off the prey by post #256.
When you say that you don’t care about the opinions of others, or feel the need to explain yourself, the most reasonable response to a pitting, therefore, is to ignore it.
It’s not the “proper response” but one response in that context.
Man with hole in pocket feeling cocky all day.
Confucius say, man who stick prick in biscuit barrel is fucking crackers.
Yep, currently manage them.
I spent about seven years as a consultant - LOTS of short term projects. The thing is 90% of my clients either looked to rehire me or referred me in to other organizations (or offered me jobs outright). I haven’t consulted since early 2000 and have gotten calls as recently as a year ago from former coworkers or clients on these jobs wondering if I’m looking. And my current job came to me from such a referral.
Long before I consulted I temped - same story. I had people all over looking for my time.
In my experience, when people love you and you are good at what you do, they help you find a similar job when your project ends. There are exceptions - I know a lot of people who were good who couldn’t find much in the year or so after 9/11.
Are you shitting me? That’s simply* too rich!*
Woman who stand on head have crack up.
Geez, this could be so easy, but you won’t face it. I’m now convinced we have another nut on our hands, a prolific and annoying one. I hope it doesn’t offend or bore the pittee that I use small words.
Quiddity, you said:
People do not admit that in that thread. Maybe you saw the OP and assumed that others would chime in to admit such a thing. Maybe you misread or misunderstood a post in your haste to maintain your amazing posting rate. Anyway, how simple it would have been for you to admit that. People here make and admit mistakes like that all the time. This one is as easy as it gets. It’s not like you’d be admitting the falsehood of some fundamental premise of your existence. It was a hasty cite in support of an unimportant point, and you were incorrect. If you can’t admit that, you are one pathetic little pattern of pixels.
