Also, Lib, does this mean you won’t be there for my New York farewell?
Actually, I stopped in your announcement thread and wished you well. You ignored me.
:rolleyes:
Lib, there are a lot of people in that thread who said “congratulations” who I didn’t specifically respond to by name. Indeed, there are a lot more people in that thread who I didn’t respond to than there are people I did respond to. That’s not because I don’t appreciate their congratulations, it’s because doing so would get repetitive really fast. I wasn’t “ignoring” anyone wishing me well in that thread, including you.
If you’re wondering why people consider you to be overly sensitive and thin-skinned, the above will serve nicely as Exhibit A.
And again: are you in for New York?
I know of no one, other than knotheads like Desmostylus, Lissener, et al, who believe me to be thin skinned or overly sensitive. I am nowhere near New York. Nevertheless, I wish that your party be a time that everyone enjoy.
I’ve recently stated my beliefs about you in fairly clear terms - there’s no need to make stuff up. I’ll summarise for you. I believe you to be a liar, an asshole, a paranoid loon, a piss-poor exemplar of Christianity, and a person with a completely and utterly useless political and economic philosophy.
Thin skinned and overly sensitive aren’t terms that describe you accurately at all. Fucko off.
Well, there you have it, Dewey. You are alone in your opinion.
Well - not necessarily.
Not all the time, and there are definitely those who follow you around assholing at you, but there are occasions when you react more quickly or more strongly than is warranted. IM unsolicited and possibly unhelpful O.
We all do it at times, myself obviously included. FWIW.
Don’t know if this is an appropriate forum for this, and I sure as hell ain’t gonna flame you, but so it occasionally seems to me. Maybe I am a knothead, therefore, and God knows how highly I think of you and most of what you have to say, even if I disagree with it. So, like I say, FWIW, if anything.
Regards,
Shodan
Nah, you’re not a knothead. Unlike Dewey, you included yourself with the “we all do it at times” thing. Dewey’s contention apparently is that I am made of martyrdom and thin skin — perceptions he never fails to share no matter what the topic of discussion — and am thus differentiated from his holy self.
-
It’s only an perception I share when you heave yourself up upon the cross, confusing criticism of your chosen philosophy with a personal attack.
-
Do please show where I’ve self-described as my “holy self.” I’ve never had pretentions of perfection, and am well aware that I am not without my share of sins on these boards. Just because I think your particular criticisms are a bit silly doesn’t mean I think myself beyond criticism.

Hack Opal to death with a kitchen knife (or whatever the item #3 meme is this week).
-
I consider your exemption of Shodan’s comments on the solitary ground that he stated “we all do it from time to time” as yet another example of the type of eggshell-walking demand I’m referring to. God forbid a poster phrase a point in a way that isn’t first and foremost precisely formulated to cater to your fragile ego; anything less and you start bitching about personal attacks.
-
Now can we please return to the discussing the moronitude of the OP, and un-stick ourselves from this touch-feely Oprah shit?
Just so you know, the Opal reference (or equivalent) as a third item is reserved for lists with only two items. Try to keep your wits about you in the future.
I’m that this is the case in terms of the origin of the Opal meme (Opal’s insistence that numbered lists include at least three items), but this is not strictly true of the kitchen knife meme. In any event, as Captain Jack Sparrow might put it, it’s more of a guideline that an actual rule. Try to keep your sense of humor about you in the future.
Crap. That should start “I’m aware that this is the case…”
