Now we are getting the same death-of-a-thread-which-went-on-for-way-to-fucking-long posts, will it finally happen, and drop out of the Top 10 lists?

One often resorts to aggression when being reasonable fails to work, and when you feel like you have nothing to lose anymore. Arguing with someone like QG often leads to aggression because using cites, asking questions, and being as concrete and direct as possible leads only to trollish needling and lying. The result is known as “losing your temper.” I know that the wiser and more level-headed among us never do that. Apparently I’m not one of them. Characterizing this as “bullying” is inaccurate and I object to it.

I want to back you up here, Ruby. I have also found myself behaving with QG in a manner which (I don’t think) I typically do on the SDMB. Seems a certain posting style has a tendency to drive some of us to losing our temper. I’m sure QG would say that it was all our own fault, for not having the zen-like acceptance of everyone else’s foibles and quirks that she does, and maybe it is. I strive to be a better person, but you know, we all have our failings.

You are, typically, quite a nice person. Much nicer than I am (that’s not hard). You didn’t nearly lose your temper as much as I did. But she can drive a normally sane person nuts. For me, it’s a short drive, but I don’t typically call people cunts either. That’s reserved for a special level of pissed off. Alas, it was provoked by trolling, which is kinda sad on my part. Ah well.

Oh, I’m not that nice…just ask my husband. 
What is so funny about the “bad words” is that I don’t tend to use them here, but IRL I am notorious for it. I have mananged to tone down using “fuck” now that my daughter is parrotting everything I say, but I have heard her say “goddamn it” and “oh shit.” Guess where she learned those? :o

I suppose they also get the corner piece of the cake with the big rose on it, too? It’s so not fair!

Yeah, but you know that icing doesn’t actually taste very good and is really kind of greasy and gives you an upset stomach if you eat too much of it.

I asked only one person not to use it and he has kindly obliged.

I don’t recall if you directly asked me to or if you just made very loud schoolmarm tsk tsking at me, but I still think cunt is a perfectly fine word to use in certain circumstances. You and I strongly differ as to whether it is intended to demean women or not, but you’ve never been able to explain why some words must be meant literally while many others are not.

Auntbeast I popped back in just to offer you a different biscuit recipie. It’s fairly foolproof.
[/QUOTE]
I’ve got one too.
Let cat have kittens in the oven.
Take out cat, leaving kittens.
Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
Now they’re biscuits!
Heh.

Me too. I haven’t called someone a maroon (think Bugs Bunny) in a verrrrry long time.
HEY, THIS THREAD IS ALL ABOUT QUIDDITY.*
It’s not about biscuits, kittens, classes you’ve taught, cake (*or pie * for that matter).
Sheesh.

I’m not nearly as much of a goody two shoes as you might think! I can’t even edit myself at work, or in front of my parents. But I guess it was drummed into my head to be careful when you are dealing with the written word…especially on the internet. Of course, why I care what image you fucking assholes have of me, I have no idea.
