But message board convention says that chats are real-time discussion and threads are posted topic-responses. You wouldn’t call mailing a letter or send an email “a chat”. You can consider yourself to BE chatting with someone IN a thread, if you want, but that doesn’t make the thread “a chat”.
Just cause you can buy some prepared foods and eat in a grocery store doesn’t make it a restaurant. There are such things as specific definitions of words.
^^^ What is so wrong about me having another name for what the rest of y’all call a “thread”? Y’all call things like you see them, do you not? Well so do I.
My having another name for what the rest of y’all call “threads” isn’t doing anything wrong, so why should I quit calling them what I want to call them? What do you think is going on in what the rest of y’all call “threads”? To me, it looks like chatting, so what I call what you people call a “thread”: chat.
God bless you two always!!!

It’s a pattern of behavior. You keep showing a rampant disregard for the culture of the group you chose to join. There is a happy medium between doing what only you want and being like everyone else. It’s ok to have individual personality but its also ok to follow the cultural norms of a social group. When the medium of communication is words, agreeing on a set definition is usually the best way to communicate.
Not caring about how you come off is arrogant.
Saying “I don’t have to, so there” is childish.
When the bulk of your interactions annoys people, maybe it’s not everyone else’s fault.
And if you can’t accept the fact that your indifference to other people’s feelings gets old after awhile, that’s YOUR problem. Just because you’ve said it before, don’t make it right. Just because its your opinion don’t make it truth.
(And just in case it escaped you, the poor grammar was a rhetorical device.)
^^^ Oh well then. Y’all are not going to get what it is that y’all want out of me because I refuse to change, so that leaves y’all with two choices, you can either continue to waste your time harassing me about what you are not going to get out of me or you can just ignore me.
God bless you always!!!

Yup, and it’s that attitude that makes you a fool. You do have some ownership over how people respond to you. We know you don’t care. Just don’t pretend you’re a nice person if you don’t.
I know when i was four, i was too short to wash an adults hair, bc it involves standing on a stool, to barely reach the faucet,…you must have been an exceptionally tall child. Also four year olds have trouble getting themselves dressed. Did you nave to somenow reach up to the hangers in her closet, and then somehow , hmmmm, , like I said, you must have been exceptionally tall and unusually coordinated for a four yr old
Or you could try and see what happens. People are annoyed with you because of your candy-coated rudeness. Stop that attitude and actually be considerate and nice and things might change for the better.
Or admit that annoying folks doesn’t matter to you and you’re not a nice person after all.
^^^ I don’t have anything to admit, but if you have someone to ignore, why waste anymore time putting up with them?
I got things out of my mom’s dresser drawers and climbed up on the kitchen counter to do her hair for her.
God bless you two and my mom always!!!

Yes, there is something you can do. It’s what most people who’ve been socialized learned to do as children: figure out what is and is not acceptable within a social group and modify your behavior accordingly. Fucking monkeys and puppies learn this shit at an early age.
I would suggest that if you examined your interactions with the people on this board with that in mind, it might help you to understand why you have no friends.
I mostly don’t. This is our first interactions. However, I have opinions and feelings that I have the right to say. You asked some questions and out of curtesy I chose to try explain myself in hopes you might learn something. Plus, I find the ignore function a distraction. Don’t worry, you’re not that hard to ignore. Doesn’t mean I’d rather I didn’t have to.
^^^ Obviously I must be hard to ignore because plenty of people here don’t hesitate to respond to what they can’t stand to see come from my end of this forum.
God bless you always!!!

I have a question- your attitude suggests that you believe that people don’t have the right to expect that other people to stop doing stuff that they find annoying, when asked. Is that how you live your life? If someone is bothering you, on the bus or at work or wherever, do you feel you don’t have have the right to expect them to quit it? Are your choices simply to give in or ignore it?
If that’s the case, you’re wrong. You have the right to have people stop bothering you, too.
^^^ If I have a problem with something that can’t be changed, either I deal with it or leave because I am the one who has the problem.
God bless you always!!!
