Sorry, I think I must have been messing with the settings on my sarcasm detector again:P

yeah, your sarcasm detector is alllll fucked up....and your irony setting could use a once over too, methinks.

I was under the impression that this was a place to discuss current events and things of interest and thought I had made friends here.
My threads are always invitations to discuss the topics openly and I have often been swayed or have completely changed my initial position based on the discussions based on the discussions here.
My posts are based on what is happening in the news and what is important to me just like anyone else.
Just like anyone else, I ignore those threads that do not interest me... just don't read them, and if I do and they don't interest me or I don't care to, I don't respond to them, it's easy.
However, I guess some can't leave someone they don't agree with alone, hence I am being singled out here and attacked elsewhere.
Just don't read the damn threads if you don't like them... or, if you think I'm harming the board with my grammar, or "something" (I can't think of it) get UT to tell me or ban me.

I like your posts, rkz, and as you say if the topic doesn't interest me I just skip it. There are many 5000 word posts that I don't even bother with.

And don't worry, perhaps being called out is better than being outright ignored; at least you know you're not completely invisible. Hell, I can't even get a rise out of the Merc; and nobody likes him! (Just joshin' ya, dude.) ;)

You just stay yourself and poo poo on the naysayers! :)

WTF?

:celebrat:

I think Rage thinks you're in cahoots with xoB, who is giving him all kinds of shit in a different thread.



I like your posts too Rage. Doesn't matter to me where they are, I read by hitting the new posts button.

rk, I really admire your ability to fight on through your difficult situation. Tell me, when you are experiencing a lot of pain, do you find it harder to concentrate and read carefully through the threads?

AH. i had not opened that thread. i'm still not readin it, but thanks....

rk....i wasnt giving you shit. ferreal. i'll go fuck myself now.

rk, I would be prefer to read a synopsis of an article, in your own words, including your opinion, with a link, than the whole thing, without your opinion. :2cents:

I think it would be an interesting experiment to have a "News You Might Have Missed" thread. The articles/ links/ information would be there for people to read, and if comments developed into a discussion then all well and good.

RK - I am also more interested in reading your opinion than the actual articles. I do appreciate the news you make me aware of, which wouldn't have come to my attention otherwise, but I come here more for opinions than journalism. I may not often agree with your opinions, but one of the reasons the Cellar fascinates me is the different views on life I get to read here.

Without putting words into LJ's mouth I really didn't read his suggestion as "STFU RK" - it was a question re the way the Cellar is laid out, surely?

Aka, Current Events?

No.
I am suggesting a separate area where people post entire articles that they think people might like to read. Current Events would then be used for threads where people give their opinion on current events, only linking where clarification or back up of facts is required.

Yeah...like a suggestion of a nomination for a user forum....without coming right out and saying it. I'll learn to be less subtle in the future, and just come right out and say what the fuck it is that i'm thinking about. which reminds me.......

I think skysidhe wants me.

Well, there's no accounting for taste. :rolleyes:
