Is that you're casual way of singing 'told you so, told you so'? :P

It reminds me a lot of no one understanding why so many were sick of merc when he was being abusive. Those of us continually (and over years, not a couple posts) under his crazed fire were amazed at those who leapt to his defense with "but he's really a good guy underneath, he's just misunderstood."

Apropos of nothing (I no longer have any ill feelings towards merc) it doesn't feel as good on the other foot, or so it seems.

I am too high minded and lofty to say something like, "I told you so". I was just reminding everyone that the world revolves around me, and my experiences.

Besides,

I told you so!!

I know that feeling well, from another board. There were several MEN who were always attacking me and getting personal. Of course I fought back, but I eventually left that board. Oh, and now that I think about it, there was one woman as well. I least I think she was a woman. She kept changing her identity, and sometimes she claimed she was a man, so who knows.

I know Merc personally, so I can't really get mad at him or take him seriously on a forum, because I know what he's really like in person. He's pretty much a sweetheart. I have to remember that sometimes when he's on here though (or elsewhere) or it would drive me insane. I'm sure he feels the same way about me.

i wasn't -- am not -- looking for anything

i expressed a distaste for the 'unbook' in a way dana found 'offensive'

i defended my means of dissecting the 'unbook' which 'offended' her further and ticked off a few others

i suggest the thread is the 'thing', not my supposed misogyny

i also suggest before anyone begin the tedious 'taking of sides' they read this thread in its entirety

it should be clear when 'personal attacks' rose up and from whom, and to whom, those 'attacks' were directed

i suggest the interested schlep over to the philosophy section and the 'freedom' thread...read the latter portion of the thread to see if cicero's assessment is accurate

mostly: i suggest that this forum -- like the whole of the net -- is angel farts and ghost whispers...just as substantial, just as 'real', and just a worthy of an investment of emotional energy, that is: not at all

'feeling' hurt because a ghost on a screen writes supposedly nasty things is absurd

stamping one's virtual feet and proclaiming to a poltergeist, 'My respect for you just fell off a cliff' is absurd

rallying 'round one ghost to protect her from another is absurd

ghost whispers...angel farts...silliness

(((the check is in the *virtual* mail... )))


Actually henry, you have no idea how appropo post #53 is.

(((actually: i have every idea of how appropriate my post is)))

(((i've been on-line for more than five minutes...the net, in places exactly like this, for years, has been a breeding ground for virtual reflections of what can be found in every highschool and in every statehouse...cliques, 'in-crowds', power plays, and flirtations masquerading as 'civility')))

(((i'll have none of it...i speak my mind...i dismiss the idiots and to hell with courting favors)))

(((if i am an 'offense' to eye and mind, then, the offended should move to have me booted, or, ignore me, or, defend themselves against my ugliness, but -- please -- with more originality than, 'you hurt my feelings'...)))

I think he said your posting style hurt his eyes - not his feelings.

(((or: am i taking you too literally, classicman?)))

((((I think they're referring to this))))

and the excessive line gaps sans punctuation

(((not an attack - merely an observation/clarification)))

carry on
