FWIW, more recent studies show that type of thing is counterproductive. You should look into it.
Maybe that’s your problem right there.
I am aware of the research. It’s more nuanced than you’re making it out to be.
Sorry for continuing the hijack but … “elaborate search”?
My point was exactly the opposite: the domain nypost.com in your link told us what we needed to know, without any further search or elaboration. That rag, owned by Guess Who, is just one of many news sources or think tanks which I’ve learned might as well be Click_Here_only_for_Amusement.com.
Sorry you took my comment personally; that wasn’t my intent.
On glancing around a bit it would seem that this is correct.
“Golly, I’m sorry about that, LHoD.”
Baby steps, andros. Baby steps.
It’s OK. I took your comment to mean that you went looking to find what it was all about. You didn’t even need to go so far as to scrutinize my link, though, as I say.
And look at the new branches that grew up between our two exchanges. They’ve wandered far off the main topic into odd personal comments.
OK, I know where we went from thread to hi-jack, but when did we arrive at Mongolian Clusterfuck?
You would want someone to apologize for acknowleging that you’ve made a correct statement?
I would guess you rarely ever make that type of acknowlegment altogether. Actually, I wouldn’t guess - I’ve seen you in action.
When you used a dishonest statement to insult someone? Well, yeah. Duh.
Wait around for that to happen. Might be a while, though. But you have time, apparently.
No.
For you to apologize for being wrong when insulting someone? Yup, I don’t expect that to happen.
Toe bone connected to the foot bone …
Ah, a Pee Wee Herman fan, I see …
You keep on fucking that chicken, Phipps. If this is really the online persona you wish to cultivate, have fun.
I think the opposite. You keep grasping for that one insult that’s going to put you over the top. But I don’t think it’s there for you.
F-P, you’re an idiot and an asshole.
He’s the only person I’ve ever put on ignore here on this message board. I’d rather read a thousand adaher, clothahump, or even elucidator posts than a single F-P post. My only regret is when people quote him.
And understates his impotence.
He’s not so much a bully as an aspirational bully. Good to have ambition, I suppose.
