I, for one, welcome our new Classicman With the Attitude.

Give 'em hell, Classic.

... sorry girls, but "birds of a feather" and all that

Interesting. Does this mean I can pick a random member of the Cellar, take their personal likes and dislikes and then project them onto everyone who posts here?

You may want to look into logical fallacies. This one is called "guilt by association." Learning what a logical fallacy is and how people use them to try and get others to accept fallacious arguments helps sharpen critical thinking skills no end. And that is a gift no money can buy.

You certainly may if you wish, but you would rapidly lose much of your distinguishing conversational and logical characteristics. I like being able to recognize you by your voice, and speaking from a strictly selfish perspective, I hope you do not act on this dumb idea.

No worries, I almost certainly wont.

However, I think the threat to do so highlighted the original problem in how Classicman was going about this - which was of course my aim.

Now classic...DOWN boy.

This one wasn't trollish.

classicman · 06-10-2009, 10:16 AM

I wasn't talking about him. I'm just saying that I'm skeptical now of any "person" coming over from PD.
So far we've had TGRR, PsychoTiki, Colonel Mustard(or something), and a couple more ... You pickin' up what I'm puttin' down?

Shawnee123 · 06-10-2009, 10:37 AM

I had to, I was tripping over it.

I know, but remember there are non PDs who you thought were PDs...just sayin.

Undertoad · 06-10-2009, 10:43 AM

I blame the Cellar, not PD, for getting all butthurt when we're picked on.

We must face it, we're a bunch of goddamn pussies.

Yes, I was tempted to make that connection.. I thought it might improve the tone of the thread.

I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion, but granting it for the sake of argument, I don't believe your statement is true. By the very nature of pussy-tude, pussies can never actually face the fact that they're pussies. That would be a very difficult and self-critical thing to do. I submit that, by its nature, such a realization is un-pussy-ish. If we are a bunch of pussies, the last thing we will do is face that fact.

I like to think of us as a "kinder, gentler" forum. A thousand points of contention, and all that.

Sometimes I feel a similar way when it comes to PDs reactions to trolls.
