If we want to just fling **** at each other all day then we all might as well go drop ourselves in the monkey house at the **** zoo.

For one thing, the fact that a post is insult-laden and shit-slinging has nothing to do with whether it's well-reasoned and fact-supported. When the posters who post well start going down the slinging insults road, it's an indicator that the others are out of control, and a double standard. Why should some people be compelled to post well-reasoned arguments when a few get away with Wall of Ignorance and Argumentum Ad Nauseum endlessly? Why should they continue trying to be polite?

Like I pointed out in another thread, if I tell you it's dangerous to drink and drive, that point doesn't somehow become invalid becaue I called you an ******* in the process. If I've explained to you 10 times that its dangerous complete with statistics and possible legal penalties, and you keep saying "no, it's not!" and I finally go off on you because you're choosing to ignore what I'm saying, it's your own fault. Acting like it's all shocking when someone runs out of patience with an imbicile is absurd.

Why would anyone stick to the high road around here? Why would you expect "better" of Khross? That's exactly the problem he's pointing out; people expect "better" selectively.

^this

Being "better" just gives idiots the impression they can succeed at their game.

I don't remember where I heard about this, but mirroring bad behavior back at someone is supposed to be one of the most educational things you can do for them, unless it's your boss that's exhibiting the bad behavior.
They have to see the mirror ...

You're not a mirror Khross. You're an instigator.

Given your avatar, I'm not sure you're kind of fun is allowed here. I'm just glad the pic doesn't include the rest of your body.

Probably no fur, even. Sometimes I doubt your foxitude, fox.

By the way, that bra... that can harness some pretty sizable yonkers. Who does it belong to.. and DON'T tell me its yours!

Hopwin,

Maybe it's just me or the medium provided but when I talk to people offline I don't lose my temper, throw in insults or demean/belittle people because *I'm* right. That would quickly make me a pariah and to a large extent we have seen that same outcome here on the forums. When certain posters make certain posts a good portion of the community ignores them. However, others choose to drop into the mud and scream, holler and cajole them for 11 days and 18+ pages under what I presume is the expectation that they can "enlighten", "educate" and otherwise correct them. There is no meaningful discourse in this thread, there is no meeting of the minds. There are spoiled children (on all sides) screaming at each other with flecks of foam coming out of their mouths.

With that said, do I contribute to this atmosphere? Definitely, but I would hope to a much lesser extent and will walk away if I am wrong or if it becomes clear that neither side will budge.

Why don't we just create a seperate forum for that? Seriously. Call it the Flame Room or something.
Let's not even bother with the pretense of even having any kind of debate or conversation. Just go in and start a thread by calling someone a shithead and see where it goes.

Someone suggested that once (Coro I think) and it got shot down by the moderation of that incarnation of the Glade.

And just because I can LOL... so out of all the ranting that Khross did about the behavior of TheRiov... the only rebuttal he can come up with is that he did not admit to sticking his wang into an under age girl, he just alluded to it. He let stand the fact that he is a creepy stalker type.. but it is only because he is in love... and all the other things.

****.

I had a very long post for you Khross, which going to lunch before posting just erased. I'll try and recreate it later when I have time again.

But, thanks for the candor and civility and it will be responded to in kind.

Refuting posts about my personal life would involve posting MORE details about my personal life. Not taking that bait, thanks. Suffice to say you really have zero idea about my life. In my desire to post only enough details to convey the story I instead have people jumping to all the wrong conclusions. I refuse to post MORE details. None of you are even remotely close to getting the story right, and I'm ok with that, but I'm not going to let you spout off your eronious conclusions as fact. I will simply say "You're mistaken."

But factually correct. What you have posted has convinced me that you're creepy in a "Wow, some folks... I suppose you just never know. He looks normal enough in his pics." kinda way.

Don't know what to tell you, man, other than... Don't go there and you won't be seen there.

Quite frankly, your mastery of the English language is insufficient for that comparison. And, since you apparently have little understanding of Nabokov or his linguistic and literary skills, I find it rather ironic. As it stands, Lolita is the definitive American Romance; and it was written in English by Nabokov while he lived in the United States.

That said, the comparison mechanism is only keying in on the frequency of 10-15 words per sample set, as opposed to comparing morphological similarities in the language used. I would not put too much stock in anything.
This is not. Hmmms...

yup Khross. You got it.

a) This is hellfire, the other thread was NOT.
b) My statment was that people jumped to the wrong conclusion. Anyone can be wrong.
c) You instead insulted my command of the english language.

Do you understand the distinction I am making?
