As Vince Lombardi said "Praise in public; criticize in private."

I said "word on the street" and rest assured, I have had no PMs concerning you. I have a couple friendly PM interchanges with a couple nice people here. Really, you think too much of yourself. I have better things to talk about with friends than you.

Leave me out of your complicitious Jr Hi games...

The Piss Gang gets off on stirring shit...stop accusing me of your own imaginations? K, Cocks and Cunts?

i didn't think you were talking about me.

Triple Filter Test
 

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC) Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance who ran up to him excitedly and said, Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students?"

"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

"Triple filter?"

"That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.

Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"

"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, even though you're not certain it's true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued. "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"

"No, not really"

Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"

The man was defeated and ashamed.

This is the reason Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

It also explains why he never found out that Plato was banging his wife.

lj...I'm not in a good state o' mind right now, and I have nothing against you...but you said someone referred to 'the word on the street' today.....made me think they'd been chatting back and forth in pm about someone else." and I am contending that whoever you are talking about it has nothing to do with me, and it's no secret I used the phrase word on the street. How any of it relates to you I haven't a clue. So your PM was not related to me.

Wish I could feel more like the Elephant Man "I am NOT an animal."

Good God DAMN you're a wise man, Flint. For a drummer.

Ok, folks. The internet has no reason to exist. Please walk calmly to the exit.

LOL

i was thinking that you were referring to saying what you said about labrat and things of that nature via pm with whoever comprises 'the word on the street'. I think that talking about someone behind their back is one thing....and i wont say that i never do it....but to then refer to it publicly as a common opinion held by ...?who? ....the people in the street? is kinda dirty pool.

i dont have anything against you either. i was trying to say that pm's that attempt to steer or influence behind the scene are not ok with me.

"attempt to steer or influence behind the scene are not ok..."

Yabbut Jimmylegs, how'd ya think I got She Who Must Not Be Named banned?



I KID! I KID!!! I'm really just kidding! :D

No, I said I am not the only one who feels that way. So your twist is to either 1) call me out as lying or 2) make me rat (get it?) on those I know who feel the same.



I reiterate that I don't do things from behind the scenes. I have conversations about...omg...them, and me and MY life and THEIR life.

Though I will concede that it shouldn't have been brought up, still, from the king of dirty pool that's quite a compliment.

Didja get my original screen shotted, jinx?

you have a lot of hatred in your nose

LOL! @ Flint!!
Looks like everyone knew but him! AaaaH!

I had a shower and decided the deletion was more misleading.


What I was wanting to say was....


If Shawnee had said *word behind closed doors*, you may of been correct in assuming that there had been conversations behind the scenes.

As she said, *on the street*, I took that to read on the board, in the open. :)

I think everyone is talking about me.

Keep it up.
