He’s not worth worrying about, Tom. He’s a kid who’s a little too smart for his own good. He’ll grow out of his arrogance.

Or maybe he won’t . . . Hey, Konners, your old man isn’t named Phaedrus. is he?

From konrad - “By your logic you are a pedophile, since that simply means one who likes children. You don’t hate children do you?”

Well, this is according to Websters Collegiate:

\*Pedophile: someone affected with pedophilia

Pedophilia: sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object\*

Seems a wee bit different than just liking kids, uh?

I do not dislike any posters–yet. there is always possibility for change. I do, however, dislike blatantly idiotic and contradictory posts. With that in mind. . .

Which point? That your earlier post was blatantly wrong. That you lack the attention span to remember what you just posted. That your lack of a dictionary also prevents you from looking up the word “different”.

And, while I have your attention.

Shall we in the future restrict our posts to small words used correctly or big words used incorrectly. If that is the case, it is kind of you to provide us with so many examples of the form, but perhaps you should label them as such to avoid confusion.

O! that was a compound-complex sentence. Is that okay, Konrad? Should we also use only simple sentences? Maybe I should have used a complex grammar incorrectly. Please feel free to dangle a participle as you read. I believe you are experienced in that area.

OK kids, let’s take this very slowly. In fact, to bring it down to your level, I’ll do this in the form of a puppet show.

The puppet Darnok will represent me and the puppet Toidi will represent others.  
[curtains open]  
[enter Darnok and Toidi]

Darnok: Someone who doesn’t like pedophiles could be called a pedophobe.

Toidi: Darnok, you don’t know Greek. A pedophobe means someone who fears children.

Darnok: No, silly. A word doesn’t always have to mean what its direct translation means. The direct translation of pedophile means someone who likes kids, but that’s not what pedophile really means. !_BY YOUR LOGIC_! you would be a pedophile.

Toidi: You dork! A pedophile doesn’t mean someone who likes kids! It means someone who is sexually attracted to them.

Darnok: That’s what I just said.

Toidi: You are wrong. Get a dictionary.

You must have missed the thread where Junior asked that we not use big words.

Well, Konrad’s a jerk. I’ve known that for a while. He’s generally rude, usually unpleasant, and always arrogant.

That notwithstanding, however, he’s got a solid point in his post above.

Or rather, he would, if he’d only explained his usage of an imaginary word from the start. Lessee, he said:

> [@](#):
>
> By the way, Tomndebb, I did ask a lawyer about your ‘thing’. She said pederasty is a crime in almost every country, so stop calling me a pedophobe and get help.

One big error there: “coining” a word (or more likely screwing up and being afraid to admit it) with no explanation. He calls Tom a pederast in a sentence which makes little sense in English (as “pedophobe” sure isn’t in my dictionary), then gets his panties in a twist when people jump his shit for it.

I’ve tried to parse out that sentence using Konnie’s definition, and it just doesn’t seem to work.

“stop calling me [someone who hates pedophiles] and get help.”

Nope, I still don’t get it. When did Tom call you that?

I’d suggest backing down on this one, Konrad, but I can remember when **I** was 18–I also found it very difficult to admit I might have made any mistake, however unintended.

Actually, I even posted to that thread. I was hoping someone would remeber and catch the reference. Thanks.

I actually had considered that interpretation as well. But, of course, one can only support that reading of the original sentence by forcing the modifier _“By your logic”_ to apply not only to the independent clause which follows it (as would be expected of an introductory adverbial phrase) but also to the non-restrictive subordinate clause _“since that simply means one who likes children”_. I, of course, immediately dismissed this as unlikely, since it came in the middle of a post exhorting clarity in thought and sentence construction. I mean, if that had been Konrad’s intention surely he would have said something as uambiguous as:

“Since, by your logic, a pedophile means someon . . .”

How hard is that?

oh…oh…oh!!!  
back to the topic: although i should have rousseau on my dislike list, he isnt there. even though he has been annoying and stupid as hell, life just wouldnt be the same without him ;).  
it isnt often you can call somebody daft and really mean it. it isnt often one can find the reply to that amusing. in rousseaus case, its hilarious. you cant but love that.

Alrighty. Were I to spend nerve racking time finding out that there were about… what? _Guessing_ around 13 lists. Oh well. Ill figure it out later.  
Konrad, just admit you are wrong. You will only dig yourself in deeper. I am unsure of your age, because I myself have only been posting for a few months. But I can see that when you get angry, it clouds what vision you have. If you use a word, at least make sure that you know what it means, that it EXISTS, or at least put a (?) after it so if you are wrong, 1 maybe 2 will correct you, end of story. I am 16, and strongly resent the fact that people classify teens in general as stubborn, but since they seem to think you are a teen, I hold you responsible for this, due to the fact that you are a prime example of their delusion. I truly hope you can find some inner strength and get yourself under control. There is no insult intended in this. Just some suggestion.

Spiritus: I thought my way made the sentence flow nicely. To me it was compltely obvious. I guess the problem is that when you insert a couple posts between a back-and-forth dialouge like that, which most people don’t read to closely in the first place, people don’t remember the original post.

Andros, as a protest against your misunderstanding of my post, the following response to you will be in warbles.

Warble: Warble warble, warble warble warble warble warble warble warble. Warble warble warble warble warble, warble warble?

Warble warble warble warble, warble warble warble warble warble.
