Why can't Siam Sam accept correction?

@septimus

But it’s the first of many examples where he demonstrates some obsession to answer me with snark whenever I demonstrate knowledge of Thai, etc. It’s too bad he’s put me on Ignore since I am curious what led to his attitude.

It’s because you’re an asshole. Have you already forgotten?

@septimus

I often read my own posts a day after I wrote them and think “What a pretentious hyperbolic sanctimonious asshole that septimus is!”

Or here

@septimus

I’d be happy to be friends with any of you, in real life, or, more likely, you’d not want to be my friend since IRL I’m still an obnoxious asshole.

And now you’re bitching about mmmbeer? Do you not see the common thread in all these altercations? Look at your behaviour in that thread, every post you made in that thread was nothing but snark.

@septimus

And please, mmmbeer (and any of his would-be defenders)…

@septimus

Is it rational, or even sober, to respond with…

@septimus

If you focused more on understanding, and less on finding humor…

@septimus

In future I hope you reread posts that seem to make no sense, rather than delighting in what seems “funny” or writing “Jesus, Joseph, and Mary.” I do accept part of the responsibility for failing to write “(including payroll tax)” in a large font from the get-go.

Lay off with the fucking smileys and writing in really large font and you’d probably have to start a lot fewer pit threads.
