You know what? I like you RK. You started the name calling in this very thread that you don't remember me being a part of. Do you really smoke that much pot?

When you have any grievance with anyone you immediately get petty. I've done this to people and I force myself to apologize because I've been wrong. Do you have no conscience?

And- I'm not going to take definitions from someone that doesn't even know how to have a conversation or connect with other people. I have friends just like you. You squawk and squawk and poop, leaving everyone else to clean up your crap. One of my good friends is also exhibiting this behavior by stirring up issues on a bulletin board and not even listening when people are in complete agreement. He posts controversial crap constantly and doesn't even check the responses to his newest complaint. He's being a human troll, and I'm not going to bother with him anymore either. He's become someone that has a complete inability to communicate. He's become a walking billboard of current issues, and any act of real communication is futile anymore. He's become the human embodiement of a troll. See, when people do this in person people give up then too. How do you expect to get away with it here? Did you already forget that people were here for you while you were in the hospital? Or was I tail-posting in that thread too? Was offering support another unoriginal idea that I had? Screw you. And it's not just me. You do this to everyone.

Start paying some attention to what other people are saying.

Oh Noz! I post interesting topics to talk about in a DISCUSSION BOARD!!
Then when people don't agree with what I think, just one person on the board, I don't take it personally... what will we do?!?!
I often tell people I care about the events in their life and wish them well and tell you what is happening in my life. If you choose not to read these, ok.
If you think you can speak for everyone, again, ok.
What a kid fit.

Buzzer sounds: Does not apply.....

~Posting at the end of a thread without reading it, usually covering a topic previously exhausted in stated thread at-length~


I was involved in the previous discussion on this thread and I was routing a discussion to the proper thread. You shouldn't start threads if you can't even read them yourself and remember who heavily contributed.

Do you spread so much bullshit that you can't even remember it anymore? Could it be?

Now, for the points...
Suggestions please.

1. Misrepresentation of an opponent's position. Pointing to crotch
2. Lack of intelligence. Pointing to melon
3. Inability to express own point. Points to hand.
4. Quoting out of context. Points to mouth.

Any more that you can think of let me know... I think more would be too busy.

ad· homi·nem· (ad häm′ə nem′)

adjective

appealing to prejudice and emotion rather than to reason
attacking the character, motives, etc. of an opponent rather than debating the issue on logical grounds

Especially for idiot(s) that can't spell what they try so desparately to express but can't.


I'd say that defines your situation...good turn of a phrase...Stick it rk!!

Actually dyslexia is a disease for the intelligent. Seems, however, you had to look it up... I'm not impressed.

I much prefer not being able to spell content others are unable to comprehend, so they lower themselves to pathetic little name calling alone for their "substance".

Thanks for the definition, I think I know what I'll call it now.

[Aliantha]

What do you mean dyslexia is a disease for the intelligent? I had no idea it was so selective. I'd be interested to see some facts to back that statement up.

Actually dyslexia is a disease for the intelligent.

Sorry rk, my Bullshit detector just went off like a foghorn.

The only relationship between intelligence and dyslexia is that there is no relationship.

Dyslexia is not linked to intelligence. You can have a high IQ and be dyslexic...and you can be thick as the preverbial swine stool and be dyslexic. The ability to learn to read and/or spell, is likewise not linked to intelligence. Someone with disablingly low IQ, may well acquire their reading skills with prodigious speed...they may have low comprehension of what they're reading, but they may well read highly competantly. By the same token, there are many people with high IQ's and highly developed comprehension skils for whom learning to read is a serious challenge, and for whom reading (and spelling) may always be problematic.


[eta]: for those who haven't really come across dyslexia, beyond what is apparent in popular culture, the condition is a good deal more complex than 'word blindness'. It can affect such things as the ability to read a clock, a map, road signs...or it may not. It can affect organisational skills (time-keeping, organising a work folder, sequencing actions)...to lesser or greater degrees. It can affect reading, without affecting writing, or it can affect both. It affects how long the visually accessed written word will stay in the memory(think about reading something from a blackboard and transcribing it to a page in front of you) and when affecting reading, or spelling there are often key letter combinations which regularly cause problems. It's also closely associated (and there is much cross-over between the two) with dyspraxia, more commonly known as 'clumsy child syndrome'.

Dyslexics are often very creative people. I am not sure why, my reading on the subject wasn't detailed enough to get to the nitty-gritty of the brain's workings. But I assume it's because their brains process information slightly differently and they often sequence things slightly differently to non-dyslexics.

Really? Swine stool is proverbial? No wonder we admire your wonderful British lexicon.

Proverbial doesn't just mean 'from a proverb,' man. It can also mean 'widely referred to.' So "He's dumb as the proverbial box of rocks" is correct usage. As is swine stool, if swine stool is a common measure of intelligence.

[xoxoxoBruce]

Thick as swine stool, is NOT proverbial, in the United States.

Ah, I get it. You were poking fun at the phrase being used frequently. I thought you were correcting usage. Check.
