I agree with **Lama Pacos** and **Equipoise**. It was **Left Hand of Dorkness** who got nasty first, and **lissener** blew up only after several pokes of **LHoD’s** sarcastic schtick. ---

> [@lissener](#): > > …Still, I’d like to be given the opportunity to address any situation where you feel I’ve kept an “enemies list,” or (as I assume you mean by that) carried a grudge from one thread to another. No, what I meant by that was that you seem to take every remark about something you’ve said as a personal attack on yourself, as though it were made by an enemy. I was attempting – apparently unsuccessfully – to be humorous. Calling **Coldie** ’s comments “patronizing hyperbole” struck me as a little surreal. I’m gonna bow out now, my contributions clearly aren’t helping much. ---

Before you go, allow me to invite you (and anyone else interested) over to IMHO for a dispassionate [discussion of the use and/or abuse of “meme.”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=6938778#post6938778) ---

> [@lissener](#): > > You’re all cowardly ding-dong-ditch. You apparently think you can disguise your personal snark within a list of general complaints and get away with it. You want to have your attack and eat it too. You used misdirection and denial, and the cover of the crowd, to score a personal hit, and you got called on it. Have enough balls, in future, to step forward and say what you mean. Dude, chill. Please. I bear you no ill will and had been one of the few (that I’m aware of) who publicly said that they’d like to see your banning reversed. Please don’t make yourself another example of someone who should have stayed banned. ---

> [@lissener](#): > > Thanks, Coldy, for the patronizing hyperbole. Luckily it’s perfectly at home in this thread. Whatever, dude. I gave you my honest opinion. As said, I have no dog in this fight, nor do I have any history with you that I know of. My assessment of your behaviour in this thread was genuine, and not meant to be patronizing. If that’s how you interpret it, well, that kind of proves the whole point, doesn’t it? But I’ll just join the group of people bowing out because it’s not fucking worth it. Have a good one. ---

All right guys, this thread has been completely hijacked, and it’s gone on long enough. I’m closing this thread. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recent-sdmb-peeves-major-and-minor/336671.md?page=8)
