am I on your Ignore List? - Page 3

Flint · 04-05-2006, 11:49 AM

@xoxoxoBruce: You bumped my thread again. When you posted, it went to the top.

SteveBsjb · 04-05-2006, 11:50 AM

What if everyone wants to bump a thread? I mean by simply using "bumps." Does that make it a "good" thread?

Elspode · 04-05-2006, 12:30 PM

I think that's what I was trying to say earlier. If the important thing is being seen and feeling prominent, go out and stand in the middle of the freeway at rush hour. Lots of people will see you right there as they whiz by, and after you've been hit by a cement truck, you'll be all over the TV and papers as well. (not directed at any one "you", BTW...it is the all-encompassing, universal "you").

You know - I'm looking at the poll, and it says 3 votes yes, 30% and 8 votes no, 80%! That's 110%!!! Then I saw that Happymonkey voted TWICE! What's up with that, HM???

Adding content to a thread (and having it go to the top of the new posts list) is a very different action than adding a one word (or one smiley) post to the bottom solely because you're pissed off that nobody has replied to your thread.

Around here folks actually read and digest information, and don't typically see the need for a "Me too" reply.

SteveBsjb · 04-05-2006, 12:49 PM

The times they are a changing. Sometimes things are just done because they are funny. And no argument can change it.

And I like to read and digest posts as well. And books, and newspapers, and emails.

Stevonez · 04-05-2006, 12:52 PM

I just felt the need to post here and say that none of those whores in that picture arouses any attention of my penis... :p

#1: I don't use smilies. Never have, never will.

#2 Responding to posts is not equivelant to what you are describing.

Its multiple choice. I voted yes and no both, too. Don't know about HM, but I did it to be satirical, since everyone here loves satire so much.

SteveBsjb · 04-05-2006, 01:58 PM

Bye Jochser! See you next Tuesday!!

Elspode · 04-05-2006, 02:04 PM

Jochser isn't by chance a longshoreman in real life, is he/she?

For some reason, this thread has come to remind me of this:

Man: Good morning, I'd like to have an argument, please.
Receptionist: Certainly, sir. Have you been here before?
Man: No, this is my first time.
Receptionist: I see, well we'll see who's free at the moment.
Mr. Debakey's free, but he's a little bit concilliatory. No.
Try Mr. Barnard, room 12.
Man: Thank you.

He enters room 12.

Angry man: WHADDAYOU WANT?
Man: Well, Well, I was told outside that...
Angry man: DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF PARROT DROPPINGS!
Man: What?
A: SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS
STUFFY-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!!!
M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
M: Oh! Oh I see!
A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.
M: Oh...Sorry...
A: Not at all!
A: (under his breath) stupid git.

The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk.

Man: Is this the right room for an argument?
Other Man

pause) I've told you once.
Man: No you haven't!
Other Man: Yes I have.
M: When?
O: Just now.
M: No you didn't!
O: Yes I did!
M: You didn't!
O: I did!
M: You didn't!
O: I'm telling you, I did!
M: You didn't!
O: (breaking into the developing argument) Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute
argument, or the full half hour?
M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes.
O: Just the five minutes. Thank you.
Anyway, I did.
M: You most certainly did not!
O: Now let's get one thing perfectly clear: I most definitely told you!
M: Oh no you didn't!
O: Oh yes I did! ___
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! \
M: Oh no you didn't! \
O: Oh yes I did! > very fast
M: Oh no you didn't! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! /
M: No you DIDN'T! /
O: Oh yes I did! ___/
M: Oh look, this isn't an argument!

(pause)

O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

(pause)

M: It's just contradiction!
O: No it isn't!
M: It IS!
O: It is NOT!
M: You just contradicted me!
O: No I didn't!
M: You DID!
O: No no no!
M: You did just then!
O: Nonsense!
M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!!

(pause)

O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is!
(pause)
I came here for a good argument!
O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an *argument*!
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
O: Well! it CAN be!
M: No it can't!
An argument is a connected series of statement intended to establish a
proposition.
O: No it isn't!
M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction.
O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position!
M: Yes but it isn't just saying "no it isn't".
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
O: Yes it is!
M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just
the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
O: It is NOT!
M: It is!
O: Not at all!
M: It is!

>DING!< The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops.

O: Thank you, that's it.
M: (stunned) What?

O: That's it. Good morning.
M: But I was just getting interested!
O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up.
M: That was never five minutes!!
O: I'm afraid it was.
M: (leading on) No it wasn't.....

(pause)
O: (dirty look) I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more.
M: WHAT??
O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five
minutes.
M: But that was never five minutes just now!
(pause... the Other Man raises his eyebrows)
Oh Come on!
Oh this is...
This is ridiculous!
O: I told you...
I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY!
M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are.
O: Thank you.
M: (clears throat) Well...
O: Well WHAT?
M: That was never five minutes just now.
O: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid!
M: Well I just paid!
O: No you didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: I DID!!!
O: YOU didn't!
M: (unable to talk straight he's so mad) I don't want to argue about it!
O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay!
M: Ah HAH!! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH!
Gotcha!

O: (pause) No you haven't!
M: Yes I have!
If you're arguing, I must have paid.
O: Not necessarily.
I *could* be arguing in my spare time.

I almost never use the ignore list, but sometimes that resolve is tested.

That said, I usually react to new people on a thread by thread basis. If someone is being an ass on one thread, and reasonable on another, I'll treat them like an ass on the former and a reasonable person on the latter.

Just so you don't get surprised in the future.
