For some reason I was tempted to post about what is going on in this thread, but it was miles ago I felt the urge and since then the thread got way too wordy to keep up with. If I post my original comment now it'd too outdated. To the op I half agree with what was apparently the intent, but then I suppose I half agree with DFK! too.

You'll see that statement as an insult, but actually, it's an observation. There's a difference... and as we all know -

I disagree with your leading statements. DFK! has consistently displayed a capacity for calm and reason well above the norm for around here, in my observations.

Well, I have to qualify my observation... it was made from memory. I've had him on ignore since right after he threw a hissy fit, declared he was leaving forever and how unfair he was being treated...then came back crapping in a dozen threads. I'd not have seen his posts in this thread had not others quoted them.

From what I saw there, he's not changed. YMMV

And what makes you believe that, given that you've never met me?

Do you understand how incredibly derisive this is? Honest question.


A. Your posting style, nitpicking every detail, arguing for pages over points no one else would argue about if you weren't deliberately provoking them. Pretending you're on the high road when you seem (to me) more than anything else to be griefing, provoking to get other people upset and laugh at them.

B. Yes, I do, but I think you need to hear it and I think you should seriously consider it.

DFK! has come across as very rational and calm. While everyone who is disagreeing with him have been down right hostile to him.

Hmm, I naturally disagree with your "hissy fit characterization, but that's neither here nor there.

I don't recall claiming to be leaving forever though....

Thank you for explaining. I disagree, and am sorry I come across that way to you.

I enjoy debate, and as I was just telling another poster privately, I was raised in an environment that encouraged loud, boisterous, and energetic argument and debate. I enjoy honing those skills here, and that is often why I try to foster such debate and argument.

Furthermore, I nitpick words because I believe strongly that lack of specificity in word usage is one of the main downfalls of modern society.

And I think you should actually know somebody before you make such atrocious statements. How would you feel if I criticized something about your personal life?
