Da Schneib shows up late

"I think you're just looking for attention."

Since you ask.

Trying to fuck with my head, especially when you start assigning motives to me, will piss me off quicker than any other single act you can do besides a direct physical assault.

Why? Is your head really that easy to fuck with? That's a shame. Most adults are able to deal with such things in a more rational and evolved manner.

And you're still whining about being on ignore. I look every so often to see if you've stopped being a dick.

Yeah, like every post...

So if you just stop being a dick, eventually you'll get off ignore.

Did it every occur to you that we like being on your ignore list, and we poke you in hopes you'll put everybody on ignore and then we won't have to put up with your acting like a pompous ass?

But it's gonna be a while since you tried to fuck with my head, and since you insulted me by assigning a motive you have no fucking way of knowing is true or not.

Generally speaking, one imputes motives to someone when they are demonstrating that a rational reason for imputing such a motive exists based on what they write. Nothing wrong with that, since you have plenty of opportunity to clarify your motives or rebut the argument. That it pisses you off to have motives imputed to you (and I too think you're just angling for attention) is a sign of immaturity and an inferior intellect.

You could make the time shorter by apologizing if it bothers you that much.

Or, we could continue to impute motives to you in order to piss you off so we can laugh at you behind your back because we're on your ignore list, which is way more fun.

That's a hoot.

Tone down the "we" stuff, please, Seth - unless you've just married into royalty, of course. You do not speak for me.

We disagree.

Schneibster...why the name calling and the duh's?

Because he was a dick. And it's not namecalling. Not to mention it's not very bright to taunt someone until they put you on ignore and then get all whiny because you're on ignore.

Calling someone a dick, whether you think it's true or not, is name calling.

Not if they're being a dick. They can stop anytime and then I won't call them a dick anymore. And that's because they won't be one anymore. Simple as that.

Pot, kettle, black.

I can see perfectly well when someone's deliberately being a dick, and I have no hesitation in calling them out for it.

And I can see perfectly well when someone's being a pompous ass, and I have no hesitation in calling them out for it. Seems we're even.

I'm a dick myself, sometimes,

"Sometimes?"

and calling someone a dick is, after all, being a dick, even if they are being a dick. I reserve the right to be a dick sometimes but don't do it to people who aren't being dicks themselves.

Sure you do, because your dick detector is broken.

My tendency is to let folks determine how I treat them; if they don't like it, they need to change what they've determined to present to me.

Hm, I've said the same thing myself.

I don't see a lot of point in being nice to someone who's being a dick to me,

And again, a point of congruency and synchronicity.

and I have to point out that I've had a lot more success pointing out they're being a dick than being nice.

In other words, you've been far more successful at being a dick than being nice. I agree.

On a few occasions you've mentioned you've been around for a while...back in your day (which I'm assuming is close to my day since I'm 54) I know that calling someone a dick would be name calling...

Nope. Not in my circle, anyway. You called someone a dick because they were being a dick. "Don't be a dick," for example. Some of them took notice and stopped being dicks; others were too stupid, so we just marked them down as permanent dicks and avoided them.

Or, as is more likely, the possibility exists that they were using your own paradigm against you because you were being a dick, but were being too much of a pompous ass to recognize it.

So, just a personal and polite request, it would be much more of a pleasure for me to read your posts without your brand of honesty, which is a little embarrassing and uncomfortable for me. That's totally my problem, I know, but I'm just askin', please?

We'll see. I have a real attachment to honesty. It's a determining factor in my makeup. I consider it far more important than politeness. Also, there's the fact that you're asking me to be nice when someone's being a dick to me; you could always go ask them not to be a dick first, and then I wouldn't tell them they were being a dick anymore.

You might also find that if you refrain from being a dick and a pompous ass, you won't have that sort of problem in the first place.

The potential gains are much larger, you see; two people stop being dicks instead of one. So, simple question: why bug me about it when someone else started it? Try asking them not to be a dick before you start asking me to be dishonest, please.

Of course, this relies on the false notion that "someone else started it." Actually, YOU started it.

I find it hard believe that you talk to people like this in real life (yea, yea, I know this isn't real life it's the Internet), so is it old age? JUST TEASING. (Check out George Carlin's gag about aging in his last show, " It's Bad For 'Ya"), is it the anonyminity of the Internet, or what?

I do, no matter what you believe. Sorry to pop your bubble.

A girl asks a few simple questions, and this is what she gets....oy, vey!

(Insert Gary Larson cartoon, "what a cat hears")

I don't know why, but I keep on thinking about this, too...

yeah, I sent wholemeal and self-raising.

hmmm ... who can I find to make some joke about oh, what a pity they were killed in a blimp collision with the leaning tower of pisa, so others can join in and we can have a good ol' laugh at the outsider's expense ...

Nah ... doesn't work when I try it.

Gawd and Sandi are cliquesters in denial. Jonesboy might well be too someday.

Guess I'm slow too. I'm not sure why you named yourself cunt. I'm guessing you're not a gynecologist.
