Yeah. I had to go back and look for it too.

I have no beef whatsoever with Clod - other than a couple recent posts that could be construed as trying to correct me.

Been wondering myself if I did or said something.

Er... I'm sorry if you're wrong sometimes?

I'm not singling you out, if that's what you're saying--heck, I just told Happy Monkey he was wrong in the deck shuffling thread, and that guy's almost always got it right.

Clodfobble, don't even think about changing your ways.

You're in the Hall of Fame for some of your corrections/clarifications.

Flint · 02-06-2008, 01:11 PM

classicman pulled this same over-defensive routine with me. Of course, in that case it was probably me being a jerk. . . . But seriously, getting corrected when you need to be corrected is how you learn, and having more people to correct you is why the internet is a great place to learn.

lookout123 · 02-06-2008, 01:44 PM

eh, maybe my memory is faulty. i thought i had seen a couple of places recently where classic and/or clodfobble had gotten snippy with eachother. nothing serious, just little barbs. certainly nothing to be concerned about. i was just typing out my ass again, apparently.

You have too many spaces between the sentence that ends with "jerk" and the one that begins with "But." The invisible ellipsis is unnecessary and ridiculous. And don't begin your sentences with a conjunction.:p

I wasn't wrong - I was simply joking with LJ - not you. You took something not directed toward you and chose to act/post upon an incorrect assumption - thats all.
Trust me - I'm wrong plenty of times, probably most times - but not this one. Your comment just didn't belong. Now in that other thread or where BigV just said...or two weeks ago when Flint - - -oh nevermind.

lumberjim · 02-06-2008, 07:59 PM

i think this is one of those things where talking about it does NOT help. nobody really did anything wrong, my feelings were not hurt (I know that this is everyone's main concern). Also, this is one of those posts that contradicts its own message.....

hey.....do you like monkeys?

Flint · 02-06-2008, 09:15 PM

I think I see the problem here. classicman, I like you. But you need to know something. This is a public message board. There is nothing here that you are saying to just one person. That would be a private message. Anything you say to anybody, anywhere on the board, is something free to be quoted, analyzed, nit-picked, taken out of context, criticized, mis-characterized, or whatever, by anybody, anywhere, anytime.

Wrong! That's your wrong assumption: that anything anybody feels like posting, doesn't "belong" somewhere, according to you. You're not the editor!

Now, remember, this is just my opinion. And if you disagree, I welcome you to post that. And I won't come back and say that you shouldn't have posted that you disagree. And if anybody reads this and agrees or disagrees with me, they can post whatever they want about it. I won't be telling people what they should or shouldn't say. It doesn't work like that.

Damn you, Flint! I was gonna like respond to your post in a way that I hoped would be funny, saying that people had no right to jump into conversations between two other people, but it would be funny because I would be doing the exact thing I was advocating against. Then I read down to the end of your post and you invited that very thing. Curse you!

Pah, I did that like ....2 posts ago.

so, let's really delve deep into the damage that can be done when you talk about something you really oughten to, thereby exacerbating the situation all the further. I see great opportunity to use a lot of really cromulent words.

classicman · 02-07-2008, 10:16 AM

Flint, Glatt, LJ & Clod - you are all correct - I took her "correction" to heart. I made an offhand remark and she took it literally...whatever. I'm movin on - not worth disrupting this wonderful thread over. :p

classicman · 02-07-2008, 10:22 AM

Lj, I like monkeys - you?
