Hey, everybody, I could use some input!

[elSicomoro]

My bitterness...you're funny.

"You guys are attacking me for being honest...poor noble me trying to stay above the fray...boohoohoo"...gimme a fucking break. You're just getting back what you've given, that's all.

What got you in trouble, Lumberjim?

Real men don't care whether they like a person. They don't care whether they dislike the post or its purpose. Real men could just ignore the post. Real men don't think emotionally as LJ has demonstrated. Like a character from Jerry Springer, LJ must attack Marichiko.

Lumberjim thrives by attacking those he does not like; when he senses a weakness. Lumberjim 'the man' would have ignored her. There is nothing offensive in her posts as others have properly noted. But Lumberjim 'the boy' must attack her anyway - like it was a playground - for reasons only a child could understand.

You violated fundamentals of being a man. If you have a logical reason to attack Mari, why did your not post it? Because by your own admission, you attacked Mari only for emotion (self-serving) reasons. Boys do that. And now you insist it is acceptable to attack another only for emotional gratification. Just like the child standing in a pile of broken glass claiming he did not do it. Will you ever stop digging yourself into this hole?

I'm sorry that this hasn't been entertaining enough for you, Griff. If you like, we can set aside a special time and place where you and I can scrap, and I can totally waste you.

well, yeah, I'm sure you DO miss those days.

[elSicomoro]

Well, that was neat...are you back in reality now? You sure? Good.

Jim, I treat you like shit because that is exactly what you are--shit.

[elSicomoro]

I was thinking it was sexual gratification, actually.

[lumberjim]

ok, tw, that's twice that you've quoted yourself now. and thrice you've called me boy. I'm going to let you in on something you've apparently missed on your many, many trips around the sun:

men have emotions.

I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Regardless of that truth, if you look at it, I didn't really post a lot of emotionally charged stuff. I was just honest about how i felt and what i thought. I spouted a bit to be funny, but the emotion in this thread appears mainly in the indignance of my detractors, and the attempted forced compassion. Mari melts down, and huffs off, and you are jumping up and down about MY emotions? It comes down to the fact that I said something that a few people took exception to for one reason or another, and I won't back down. That may not be very popular on a social level, but I wouldn't call it childish. If you need an example of childishness for contrast, see sycamore's last couple of posts. ya weirdo.

Of course they do. And men, unlike boys, use their logical mind to control - even manipulate - those emotions. Emotions are a tool used by the logical man. Emotions that override logical thought means he is still a boy.

How you 'feel' about anyone is totally irrevelant. The man takes those silly emotions and smashes them. The boy even lashes out in fist fights. There is no logical reason for starting a fist fight. Fist fights means the man never grew up.

Same applies to your posts intended only to attack, disparage, and demean Marichiko. There was not a single logical reason for anyone to do that. If you were posting as a man, you would have long ago quashed that anti-social behavior. I should not have to explain any of this to you. But like the boy standing in a pile of broken glass, you keep denying it.

If what Marichiko posts does emotionally bother a man, then the man ignores it. It is what men do. You did not - multiple times.

Again, if you don't like what Marichiko posted, then ignore it. Your response in latest post 167 is only an emotion. Facts say you should post nothing. Ignore it. What Marichiko posts is between her and everyone else. It does not emotionally affect a man.

There is nothing here posted as an insult. I am defining socially acceptable behavior required of any man. Again, emotion is only a tool of the logical adult. When emotion instead makes decisions - causes you to post - then we have a child.

So this is something like the sixth time I had defined how a man thinks. Again, how deep are you going to dig the hole you are in?

LJ - you belong here. But having only an emotional response to another is not acceptable behavior. Your original post provided nothing factual upon which anyone could react, conclude, or recommend logically. The neat thing about written discussions: take time to throttle your emotions. It makes for a Cellar without blood on the walls.

What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.

tw, it would seem that you have a predetermined opinion that my every motivation in life is based on emotion. Is this because I've argued the point with you previously? Stating my opinion was entirely logical. I didn't present it as fact, so I don't know why it upsets you. You seem to be getting awfully emotional about not being so emotional. careful, you'll blow a resistor or a capacitor or something. bleepin robot.

Grasping at straws, eh stupid? I'm not surprised.
