What does pep mean?

Don't feel sad; very few make the grade.

Tell it to Laurin; she's the one saying "you can get along with Pep". You're only beating up your own subscriber with that idiotic comment

You say that like it's a bad thing.

For you, yes.

Pep (I'm sure you can find someone suitable eventually, although probably not in the forums from what I have seen here and in other threads.)

Funny, I don't see any Dragon corpses laying around here. Must be mo\re of your sock puppet show. Do continue.

I was thinking more along the lines of the unlucky few who's first date with you must have consisted of reading the newspaper together, and the resulting riot of fun they must have had as you pointed out all of the typos.

You're getting it wrong again aren't you? Laurin never said that I should get along with *you*.

Pep (She knows better. )

What a lack of imagination you have . . .

Pep ( . . . with absolutely no chance of finding out what the truth is. )

Aww

I don't know how I will ever recover from such a devastating burn like that. I was so interested in my own private grammar lessons too

I just can't get enough of that grammar. It's the shit!

If you meant to say what I think you just did, then it is not just your language skills, but your logical capabilities, that are badly flawed. You have to speak Dutch to assess someone's skill in English?

Pep (This could revolutionise language education!!!)

No, he means that I can understand the mistakes a Dutch speaking person is likely to make in English, and he can understand the mistakes I, an English person, am likely to make in Dutch.

Surprisingly, your comment is, in a way, correct. Learning other languages can improve your understanding of English grammar and syntax.

no, the choice is his. he's the one going around like a walking-talking doucebag. i'll continue to keep my nose clean, thank you.

you know, there's an old saying - if everyone else has a problem with you, it might not be everyone else who has the actual problem...

What incentive does anyone have to "get along" with him?

What effort does he make to "get along" with anyone else?

Last time I checked, calling people "dumb", "illiterate", etc, downplaying their strengths, and underscoring their weaknesses, even in the most trivial of examples, is not the most conducive route towards "getting along".

All I see is a pedantic boor, because that's the only side he ever bothers to display that I have seen. Now, he may be the most wonderfully witty and bright person to grace the face of the Earth in Real Life(tm), but it sure doesn't come out here in the forums. As such, what's my incentive to bother with him beyond a minor amount of deprecating wordplay for amusement value?

Maybe there is some value in getting to know the "Real Pep", but as for incentive to exploit it? Zero.

So, as long as he won't stop being a dick, others won't stop responding to him as one. I may stop for a while, but there are more than enough others to fill the void; he makes sure of that. "Ignore him and he'll go away" isn't any more a realistic solution than responding to him. As you say, he'll never stop.

... and throw metaphorical knickers up on to my virtual stage, a la Tom Jones. They don't all permanently survive the intensity of one to one friendship with me, but they seem to enjoy the journey - and I certainly revel in their company and conversation - and I don't have to trawl the dancehalls and bars of sl and experience vacant profiles and even more vacant dialogues to...

Tell it to Laurin; she's the one saying "you can get along with Pep". You're only beating up your own subscriber with that idiotic comment.

He makes small effort to get along with most people. He enjoys rancor. I don't understand why this tidbit keeps being thrown about like it is new information. Yet I personally have no trouble getting along with him. I must have some dragon in me because if he said something nasty to me he was put in his place or it rolled off.

I just gotta ask: how and why would you get along with some random keypusher who pops in to tell you, without provocation, you have communication problems, you are wasting everyones time, you are an idiot by his standard and the standard of some suggested elite club of superior beings, while poking and prodding any reply you make with regurgitations of his previous ad hominem comments and dated humour, and taking great delight in any negative attention he gets, and who then proceeds to piss his ego all over the place, and afterwards pats himself on the back for a job well done?

I'd laugh in his face and call bullshit on such nonsense, and not even entertain the idea of ever getting along with such an obvious dickhead - but I'm interested in your perspective.

He doesn't tell me I'm an idiot. I think the worst thing he has ever called me was erratic, which my ego could handle.

As for the rest, he is taking the piss. Do you know the expression?

If you knew me better, you would know NO ONE treats me like that. Their actions mirror what I will tolerate. Works just fine for me. If anyone here is waiting for me to apologize for any friend I have, they will have a long wait.

Gosh, I even like Jig! Shoot me now

That isn't what I'm asking. I'm just curious what you would do if you came across such an obvious dickhead, in a neutral setting, if you didn't already know him, and if he wasn't sucking on your tit the whole time like a good little troll.

I am crying laughing at the last sentence. I already answered that in the last post. I don't get treated like that. It is outside my realm of experience, but maybe that is because of how I handle the first 'dickheaded' behavior. I put a stop to it, or I laugh at it.

Sucking on my....oh ah ha ha ha ha! Thanks. This thread hasn't been funny since our foray into the strawberry patch with the seals.

ps: I nearly forgot, the other option is to not associate with them or allow them to inflict themselves on me. That works too.

I wonder why more of you who have such a prob with Pep don't take that route?

That is the correct answer.

I think a lot of us just like picking on the weird old guy, to be honest.
He's like those old homeless drunks who smell of wee and who mince around shouting random insults at passers by like he has tourettes... and the kids steal his hat and call him names.

Whatever floats your boat, but don't expect me to start a, "What's wrong with Ishina" thread.

Gosh, I even like Jig! Shoot me now
