nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Prokofy fanboys not withstanding.

They're exempt of all rules of courtesy, umm, cuz, umm, tell me why blaze?

Tell me why you are so willing to overlook the contemptable behavior of one certain individual, yet you will bleat like a lost sheep when anyone challenges the new Galilean? Or yourself for that matter, Mr. Apostle. If you dont want responses, stop asking for them by positing in the public square. It's that simple. If you join a world, and want to mold it to your expectations, be prepared scout.

I don't want attention! Why do you guys keep picking on me every time I generalize and marginalize the public at large? I like to do it in the public eye. And people respond to me! The gall! It's NOT FAIR!

It's pretty obvious to me. Prok doesn't have to say anything, in any manner, to receive some sort of attack.

They just do it because they like doing it. They start whole threads just to do it. It must be addictive or something, this hating and vilifying.

You're dreaming. But that is what it's all about, right? If I say "x" and people don't like it, I can claim "Y"

No one just started to attack Prokofy out of the blue. Prok was just another new player. Look at Prokofy's profile in game Coco, "I made my own game". That's great. That is admirable, untell you try to force it on others. You are but a child unto Prokofy's teat. Some day you will hopefully pull away and be your own person. Until then, watch a lot of Monty Python.

Edit: blaze: how dare you speak of others self esteem. You sycophant.

Hey, I know what he's like! I never claimed he was picked out by LOTTERY or something to pick on!

I'm just pointing out that there is such a . . . strange sort of desire to participate in it, or to continually analyze it, or whatever . . . that people keep starting threads just about him.

Now, that's weird.

So why all the pretense of civility, upstanding members of the community and all that nonsense when it is simply gang banging. (Pardon the ghetto intrusion.)

Right, you afford Prokofy this position of analytical genius, then chide others for analyzing Prokofy.

I don't expect you to get it. You, after all, followed your mentor here.

Who's pretending? What you see is what you get. Unless your taking sides again Margaret and trying to disguise it in some waxing prophetic poetic prose.

Truly.

Also, I keep thinking "But Mom, he hit me first!"

Sorry, you can't evade the consequences of adult statements when you're an adult.

Selective admonition is cool though. If you don't want to be taken seriously.

We're not kids, although you would liken us unto them. Mom.

Ahh if only that were true Blaze. You're actually all about the disagreeing. The learning part seems a bit more elusive

Parenting adults is not my intent. Immature behavior is not age restrictive. It simply is what I am reminded of.

Justifiable retaliation is the reason presented to me and I don't get it. The back and forth of it till both sides are demeaned.

Criticizing my writing style is diversionary. I don't try to be poetic. I write what is in my head.

Look, I am not a young person, I would wager that I am probably 20 years your senior.

When I read your one sided admonitions (in which you claim to not take sides), I am reminded of poor parenting.

Margaret, the ever expanding ranks of P's detractors and combatants aren't people that just sprung up out of nowhere, saw a fight, and decided to pile on. They're pretty much all people who've tried to engage him in dialogue on various subjects. Try it. Afterwards I have a pitchfork you can borrow. You're likely to want one.

Eventually, unless she's a masochist like blaze.

You've indicted your age in a previous post. I know whether this bet is a wise one or not. First my writing style, now my age; is the alt accusation soon to follow? Maybe you're trying to get me riled up and in a reactive mode.

If you need to reread my post from the other day, do so.

What always intrigues me is that folks like Margeret, who reply to: "where is the depth" as if they have all the answers, in a pseudo-poetic form, and defend non-stop antagonists like Prokofy, think that they really should have some impact. The worst part is that most supporters haven't done any homework about Mr. Neva. For some, like Coco, this doesn't matter, they just salute and blindly sally forth. Que sera, sera. Misery loves company.

I don't need to reread anything.
I thought I understood you that day, and I thought you displayed, in the end, that you weren't biased. That was your only strike with me. I now see that you are.

If your going to act like an overzealous parent, thats cool. Just be prepared for those who will call out your selectivity.

Again, Margaret, you continue to play mommy to those that would challenge Prokofy, thus belieing your supposed non-agenda.

I have read these forums for months before speaking up. I have talked, and disagreed, with Prok inworld. I take the positive kernel, which has often been acknowledged here, and refuse the negative. That is my way. There really are more than two alternatives here. I understand your opinion of Prok and his posts and dislike the pitchfork brigade as well.

Well, choose a third alternative then, and back up what you're saying.

"In-world", then why not here?

You'll disagree with prokofy in world, yet you will turn your head whenever Prokofy attacks people on the forums. You'll play devil's advocate and philospher for prokofy on the forums. Why is that?

It's amazing that you recognize the "pitchfork brigade", in terms of those opposed to prokofy's lament, yet you are unable to see that you are part of prokofy's own pitchfork brigade. Does it float or does it sink?

Post Script: we didn't have brigades before prokofy.

First off, I never said what KIND of a genius Prok is. You put the word "analytical" in my mouth.

Second, you're guilty of about half of Prok's worst faults, and you're displaying them here.

Third, Margaret is remarkably patient with you; more so than you deserve.

Fourth, don't talk to me about who's older than who.

"I don't expect you to get it. You, after all, followed your mentor here." Fifth, go suck an egg. You obviously don't read the forums nearly as much as you spout off on them.

Someone who uses an alt account to pursue their agenda here doesn't get to tell when to post or not to post.

Someone who refuses to discuss the issue and instead focuses on the alt-iness of someone doesn't get to tell when to tell to post or not to post.

Hey... that was almost as ridiculous as your own post.

It's forum performance art Margaret.

Excellent! post!!!!
