Rabid, humourless atheists with nonstop shoulder-chip-itis are soooo boring. Give it up, Princhester. You look a fool. You’ve not even a scintilla of a case.
Oh, so I guess I had you wrong. So your veiled beef was this all along: You think Shodan’s a religous hypocrite, and you’re calling him out on it. He claims to be a Christian, but his thread title was jerkish, so you’re calling him out. You’re trying to start one of those theist vs. atheist fights again. Have fun.
BTW, don’t confuse naivety with genuine confusion over your incomprehesible complaint. If you’ve got a fucking beef, quit wink-wink-nudge-nudging people into figuring it out. Just be out with it already.
Oh not even that, Happy Lendervedder, it’s that Shodan is a Christian and wrote a word that is - gasp!!!11!! - associated with them. :eek:
:rolleyes:
Oh? Oh, well that settles it then. Thanks for letting me know. If I need to know anything in future, I’ll be sure to ask you for The Answer.
Here’s a clue. Stop looking for veiled references, and reading in subtexts, and making unsupported assumptions about what I know and don’t know (have you come up with any form of solid reasoning as to wtf makes you think I didn’t know Shodan’s thread title was from Shakespeare yet?) and just read what I fucking write. Or perhaps that wouldn’t suit you because then you’d have no way to attempt to strawman me with shit I’ve never written.
So if I don’t know how the fuck Shodan arrives at the conclusion that I didn’t know his thread title was from Shakespeare, and it annoys me that he makes that assumption, would you suggest I just come right out and say something like “WTF makes you think I didn’t know where the quote was from?” Would that do the trick do you think? Or should I be plainer. Please do tell.
So you’re just looking for validation that you’re not really as dumb as people seem to think you are?
Very well. I don’t think you’re that dumb; I can’t speak for Shodan, but I’m fairly confident you knew all along that it was from Shakespeare.
But now I’m just trying to figure out your motivation. First, you really seemed to take offense to the closed thread’s title, so I was just trying to figure that out. Why were you so upset that Shodan used a quote from Shakespeare that made reference to angels? I mean you’ve really focused in on this for some reason-- first the title of the closed thread got you up in arms, and now you seem really unnecessarily upset that Shodan might- gasp- think you’re dumb.
Oh I understand you’re upset, I’m just trying to figure out why you’re so upset. I can’t help but think you’re trying to build up to some sort of “Gotcha ya!” moment here. Or something. Maybe not. But I mean posters call other posters names all the time in the pit-- horrible, horrible things!-- but yet you’ve now taken so much offense that Shodan assumed you didn’t know a Shakespeare quote when you saw it, that you decide to just start another Pit thread about it?
So. Do I have it now? Shodan thinks you’re stupid, and you don’t like it. 
Of course it was relevant - that’s what made it witty.
I fail to see your problem here. Shodan’s line referred to a work of literature, therfore it was a literary reference. Or do I not understand your English language?
I’ve been asked not to pray for people, Printy. Would you think me unChristian if I just called you a tard instead?
However:
Matthew 22:30 seems to support you, circumstantially at least.
Happy: “Looking for validation”, “really take offense”, “so upset” “unnecessarily upset”?
Are you *capable * of reading a few posts and responding to what they actually say?
When someone makes a wildass assumption to arrive at a wrong conclusion that “for the record” I didn’t recognise something it’s (per the OP) barely worth bringing up, but (admittedly) a bit irritating. I know the facts are annoying to you because they don’t allow you to portray me as unreasonably hysterical, but it’s probably better that you just deal with that, rather than strawman me all the time, huh?
Malacandra why would I think that?
And the religious overtones consequently made the religious views of the person who posted it fair game.
My problem (and best not to overstate the extent of my problem, lest Happy fret about me) is that if, as you accept, the quote has religious overtones in addition to being a literary reference, and if I comment only on the religious aspect, there is no logical basis for leaping to the conclusion that that I did not know the latter. It makes no sense whatever.
But the quote in question didn’t so much have “religious” overtones as it had “mocking Badchad” overtones. It had nothing to do with religion (and certainly nothing to do with YOU) and everything to do with **Badchad’s ** obsessions. I’m sure that if **Badchad ** had been, say, a rabid Yankees fan, **Shodan ** would have referred to the 2004 World Series.
But then, you don’t really care about all that shit, do you? All you want to do is fight.
What, angels? Yes. And now this is where you go all berserk or say something smug as though you’re smarter than I, right?
Do you or do you not accept that there was no basis for Shodan’s assumption that I did not know he was making a literary reference? That’s the OP. See above.
Maybe you should ask a sky pixie.
Charlie loves you, Princhester.
Sorry **Lib ** you slipped one in there. That was a response to Alessan. Although it pretty much fits in response to you, also.
Hmmm. Let’s see, how about:
- “As though? Whaddaya mean as though?”
Or maybe:
- “did they sing, and if so were they in tune?”
Nah, I can’t think of anything suitable.
Princhester: “I can’t, I don’t believe in them”
Lib: “Neither do I, and nor does any religious person I know, stop strawmanning”
Did I get it right?
No. I made the same assumption.
On what rational basis?
Good night, sweet Princhester!
(Something tells me I’d better not quote the next line too.) 
Even if you don’t agree totally you have to admit the thread title of the other thread was half-witty, at least.
To expand on that Alessan: precisely what did you think that I thought Shodan’s thread title was? Shodan is not in the habit of using the pronoun “thee” that I’m aware of. It was completely bleedin’ obvious it was a literary reference (although that wasn’t the point).
Polycarp, you quote that next line at me and I’ll go apoplectic with rage. I’ll scald you with steam from my ears. I’ll shower you with brain matter as my head explodes. See if I don’t.
