Just wondering ...

Well, I MEAN it this time, haha.

This may be of some use to various posters:

It's interesting that Coco claims to be an interviewer... Normal professional practice for that occupation, which you'd expect to be ingrained behavior by this point, would be to ask questions in a neutral fashion in order to find out what the interview subject thinks, rather than to make random assertions based on total ignorance of a field, and then fight with the interview subject when corrected.

I was starting to feel like I'd fallen into an alternate universe or something. That's exactly what I would assume.

Thank you very much for the link. I will enjoy reading it.

Y'all are funny. I don't claim to be stuff I'm not. I don't claim to be Miss America. Or a guy. Or a person with a lot of technical know-how. Or someone able to readily predict the outcome of plots in films.

Or wealthy. Or very good with humor; either telling jokes or remembering punchlines, or getting jokes, especially sarcastic ones. Or tall. Or young.

I don't claim to have actually given birth to my children. Let's see, what else . . . I don't claim to be the world's easiest person to live with! Or the perfect mother. (But then, perfection is never required of us.)

But the stuff I do "claim" - you can take that to the bank, I guarantee you that.

coco

Yeah. Like how you're the most honest person we'll ever meet.

The expression is actually --You can take that to the bank

That's true, too. Not TOTALLY honest. And not THE most honest (I think nuns and the like probably hold the title on that one). But certainly ONE of the most honest.

(P.S. I fixed that, Kendra.)

I had a great-uncle who kept telling everyone he was a Navy captain. Every single conversation, he would find a way to insert that he was a Navy captain. Not sure who he was trying to convince, either, himself or his audience.

(he wasn't actually a Navy captain)

I suppose if he was actually a navy captain he wouldn't have had to work so hard convincing people.

Is your uncle related to billy?

This is an utterly stupid thread in which otherwise intelligent people of all sorts have taken the stupid, low road of pointing out how intelligent they are at the expense of theirs and others' intelligence. Which shows you how twisty stupidity can be.

Really, can anyone be intelligent and yet so dense as to think that:

1. Degrees matter?

2. IT skills and technical skills in a game like SL denote intelligence?

Why has this thread not been locked with Jeska's infamous "no useful conversation going on here" comment?

Are you telling us that this thread should be moved to off-topic, where the behavior you describe (see bold text above) is normative?

Sorry to have brought it up at ALL, Seth!

But it is germaine. If you had people quoting your informal writing in their post signature - to point out how stupid you are - and if you had people constantly telling you how stupid you are, that you don't know what you are talking about and have no right to ask questions or post opinions on these threads, and have been called every unflattering name in the book to BOOT, you might finally tell them they are making idiots of themselves, too.

However, I have confined it to this thread, in which my apparent crime was starting the thread at ALL. But since I did start it - in good faith - and got my head handed to me on a platter for daring to start it, I figure it is somewhat my thread, and thus a perfect place to finally tell these people that they are taking coals to Newcastle (and giving themselves ridiculous airs) when they mock my writing skills, or my thinking skills.

After all, I don't spend eight months mocking THEIRS! THAT is the point. Plus, be grateful for all the things I didn't brag about in this thread.

coco

The formality of your writing is never what makes you quotable. It's the accidentally self-revelatory and self-serving nature of some of your remarks that makes you quotable.

Tell ya what! Let's leave off with this and give everybody a break! Especially Seth. Since this thread has strayed WAAAYYYY beyond it's original purpose!

I'm going to start a thread in off-topic. And regret it! haha But I'm going to start it.

ICJ is the new FIC

if this is what's taught in a logic class, i'm so glad i didn't take it. i think i would've lost my common sense in it.

Bullshit, Cory.

It's plainly obvious in this thread that it's the same people giving Coco a hard time that give her a hard time over just about everything she talks about.

I'm sure it's hard to see it when you're on the shit giving side.

Um, but, gee ...

How does that contradict what Cory said?

You're right, self-righteous accusatory tones ARE fun. And they're easier than thinking!


And for the record, I was talking about Nixon. Why are you so paranoid?

You know what, on second thought, I take that back. You've posted from your high horse since day one, so its kind of like yelling at your dog for licking its own nuts.


But I was still talking about Nixon.

Considering you're so adept at it, I'm sure you think it's easy.

And for the record, I was talking about Nixon. Why are you so paranoid?[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry, how does ICJ is the new FIC relate to Nixon?

Yeah, well, if I hadn't been giving the Coco treatment when I arrived them things may have been different. The mean and spiteful shit the so frequently flows from Coco's detractors

But, you know, like a dog who hasn't been house trained yet, the detractors haven't yet learned not to shit where they eat.

Seems to me that some of you need to have your noses rubbed in the shit until you learn to be nicer.

But some dogs don't learn and I'm sure no matter how many times people's noses get rubbed, they'll still shit on the floor.

==================

I want to point out that the ONLY time I get my back up is when I see someone being treated unfairly by people here.

Oh please. We both know that it will always be "they", because of the rules about not naming names here. If I were free to give some examples, I wouldn't hesitate to do so.
