From: Jerboa Haystack Ah ha! It's a matter of perspective, and prior knowledge, resulting in incorrect assumptions. As a regular IT poster, I had grouped you with "them". Therefore, my initial reading caused a great deal of confusion.  I'll get you yet Daniels!  I am sure you shall. In the meantime might I say how enjoyable it is to spar with a reasonable and educated opponent. Pep (unlike many)

From: Pserendipity Daniels I always address the post, never the human being behind it, however ridiculous. Dude, you ALWAYS are attacking people. I'm "senile", or "need Alzheimers treatments", or "people are idiots and I am here to educate them" (that one was priceless). That's ad hominem, and it is part and parcel of nearly EVERY POST you write. From: someone Nevertheless, you are wrong. Just because you say so? Yeah; sure thing. From: someone Demonstrably not just because *I* say so. Let me know when the demonstration sans your say so commences so we can take note of it. I will wait with "unbated breath" as well. From: someone Delusions of eternal health when the breakdown of mental faculties is immediately apparent have a very bad prognosis. The only person it is "apparent" to is yourself, so what does that tell you? I mean, after all, you're the only one that keeps bringing up the "Dragon" ad hominem shtick that I see. From: someone Pep (Keep posting, it may attract help for you) Yes, but thankfully not from your direction, or have you gone back on that oath as well? Maybe medical science will advance to the point soon where you can have an extra pair of eyeballs installed in the back of your head. Might help avoid tripping with all the backpedaling you do.

From: Talarus Luan Dude, you ALWAYS are attacking people. I'm "senile", or "need Alzheimers treatments", But you are a dragon; is there an ad draconem stricture? From: Talarus Luan or "people are idiots and I am here to educate them" (that one was priceless). Prove that one please. I don't recall ever calling anyone here an idiot. I might think it of some, of course. From: Talarus Luan That's ad hominem, and it is part and parcel of nearly EVERY POST you write. Your points above do not support your argument. From: Talarus Luan Just because you say so? Yeah; sure thing. Let me know when the demonstration sans your say so commences so we can take note of it. I will wait with "unbated breath" as well. Jerboa has concurred, and he is the one most involved, and concentrating on the argument rather than being carried away by personal animosity. So it isn't just me. From: Talarus Luan The only person it is "apparent" to is yourself, so what does that tell you? I mean, after all, you're the only one that keeps bringing up the "Dragon" ad hominem shtick that I see. How do you know that I am the only one to whom it is apparent? The only person you can speak for is yourself. You persistently refer to yourself in draconian terms so I am humouring you. From: Talarus Luan Yes, but thankfully not from your direction, or have you gone back on that oath as well? When you recover you will probably thank me. From: Talarus Luan Maybe medical science will advance to the point soon where you can have an extra pair of eyeballs installed in the back of your head. Might help avoid tripping with all the backpedaling you do.  More delusions? Pep (Perhaps your dragon therapist has encouraged you to express yourself)

From: Brenda Connolly Before the IT thread, the level of derailment in threads was much higher I think, as well as the arguing over those derailments. There were also far more "nonsense and ranting" threads being started. it's not a perfect solution, but in the absence of any real official guidance from LL, it helps. Having left for awhile and come back I can assure you that you are 100% correct. Do I think the IT thread belongs here? No. Am I glad it is? Hell yes.

From: Jerboa Haystack While I might see your point, the manner in which that sentence is constructed requires that the the subjective and objective pronouns match. Mixing the first and third persons creates a level of semantic ambiguity as to render the entire statement meaningless. At least for a discerning reader.  SCORE !! /me grins

From: LittleMe Jewell The belle of the ball? I'm totally flattered. (it worked - I've got them all fooled pretty good) You didn't realize that? I think nearly every guy here would have given their right arm for you Lil  Of course, you may not have wanted them missing an arm, but that's besides the point

From: Pserendipity Daniels But you are a dragon; is there an ad draconem stricture? There certainly isn't a stricture against inanity and pedanticism, otherwise, you'd have some trouble. From: someone Prove that one please. I don't recall ever calling anyone here an idiot. I might think it of some, of course. PROVE it? You have GOT to be kidding! O.o Dude, go back and READ some of your diatribes about "educating the dumb", and then read some of your own responses to various posters. It is your DEFAULT method of communication. Did you, or did you not, say that you are here to educate the "dumb"? From: someone Your points above do not support your argument. Looks like they support them just fine to me.  Maybe you should actually, you know, READ them? From: someone Jerboa has concurred, and he is the one most involved, and concentrating on the argument rather than being carried away by personal animosity. So it isn't just me. I think you are taking Jerboa's "concurrence" a little far. Regardless of how you want to spin it, it isn't effective communication on your part, which makes it as much a gross error as your constant, pedantic, and insipid grammar correction as well as personal sarcastic vendettas against various forum posters. I mean, if anyone else posts such "undefined and ambiguous" tripe, you're all over them like flies on a turd (heh; appropriate imagery), regardless of whether it is or not. But, if *YOU* post it, oh well, that's different! You *MEANT* it to be that way! It was a perfect locution.  From: someone How do you know that I am the only one to whom it is apparent? The only person you can speak for is yourself. You persistently refer to yourself in draconian terms so I am humouring you. How do you know that you aren't the only one to whom it is apparent? The only person you can speak for is yourself. See how it reads when the shoe is on the other foot? I refer to myself in draconic terms, because that is my "shtick" for various reasons. It doesn't change the fact that I use a human form and mind to communicate and interact. Personally, I don't see any reason to entertain your stupidity about my draconicity, since it amounts to nothing more than casting pearls before swine, since your only goal in bringing it up is to make pathetic, witless jabs in my direction in the first place. From: someone When you recover you will probably thank me. Oh, I already thank you, for showing me the lows people can sink to in order to make themselves feel superior, regardless of the fact that they're really no better than everyone else, and prove it with every word uttered/typed here. If nothing else, your persistence serves as a warning to others; it is probably the story of your RL as well. From: someone More delusions? Only to you. From: someone Pep (Perhaps your dragon therapist has encouraged you to express yourself) Dragons don't have therapists, and I am certainly in no need of one if there were. I'm more than capable of expressing myself, especially to the likes of you.

From: Talarus Luan . . . Ravings of a poor old dragon who incorrectly (and libellously) accused me of calling people "idiots" . . . /me won't post any more because /me is genuinely concerned for the poor old dragon's blood pressure and mental health, given the wild and irrational ravings to which it has now descended.

From: Pserendipity Daniels /me won't post any more Don't make any more promises you can't keep. From: someone because /me is genuinely concerned for the poor old dragon's blood pressure and mental health, given the wild and irrational ravings to which it has now descended. 1) I seriously doubt you give a tinker's damn about anyone or anything here, so save your platitudes for your make-believe friends. 2) I've been around this block so many times with so many others with a similar pathos as yours, it doesn't even register on the "getting a rise" meter. It's old hat at this point. Surprisingly, I am getting quite a bit of work done while blunting your snappy, if ineffectual ripostes.  From: someone Pep (will allow others to make their own decisions on who is more rational) Yes, of course, which is why you had to mention it at all.

From: Ricardo Harris Good one. You're 100% correct regarding that stupid thread. The thing is if they took that thread down there would be many here who would feel totally lost without it. That thread is the highlight of their day, their sole reason for coming to these forums. They can't wait to wake up in the morning, salivating just to see how large it's post count has gotten with much more worthless drool being added daily. Some people are strange like that. Better than the sole reason you come here,to see who you be a bigger douche to. Would rather post worthless drool than some of the miserable crap you spew Dick...er Rick.
