I guess I was just wondering, in a discreet way, why Ibby gets shit, but Sexobon doesn't.

A valid question. It's because I'm a mirror, reflecting the level of intensity others present. Your intensity is relatively consistent which is why I've not turned up the intensity with you or many others here whether they have agreed with me or not.

At times, Ibby turns up the intensity disproportionately. Chalk it up to youthful inexperience or whatever, it begs widespread disapproval when she violates Golden Rule 2.0. - Do unto others as they have done un to you.

Unlike Ibby, I'm not afraid of anyone here. Quite the opposite, I challenge everyone here to entertain me.

Nah, too busy paying attention in English class.

I am definitely taking a Karma hit for that, but I couldn't resist. I really don't have a dog in this fight - not the guns issue, but the mini-flame, "he said/he said" one. Feel free to go grammar Nazi on me in retaliation when I eventually screw up.

BTW, Henry - take a few calming breaths, check your meds, and put an extra lock on the guns.

I didn't understand why it was ok for him to shit on me, not in a pokey fun way, when i expressed sincere horror in the immediate wake of the shootings. Shit on for feeling, for caring, for expressing? Fuck that, I am human.

And I also don't get Flint's constant need to check in seemingly just to admonish dwellers in a tsk tsk 'at children' kind of way. I'm insulted FOR the targets of that crap.

I liked his Amish
Better than his admonish

It's really simple: just be cool. Don't be a dick, don't be a bitch, and don't be a whiner. If somebody hurts your feelers, suck it up and be the bigger person. If you feel like you need to be the hall monitor and "get people in trouble" then please get a different hobby. So, as I said, it's real simple. Just try to be cool, don't freak out, and try as hard as you can not to make an ass of yourself.

That's all I will ever have to say about that. So don't bother replying. I don't care.

Yep, I already thought of a rebuttal for that, and that, and that too. Still don't care. The end.

Your face is a whining tattle-tale

"When you point a finger at someone there are six fingers pointing at yourself." Or something. Srsly, dude. You just broke all your own commandments. Is someone paying you to call out certain posters but not others? These occasional edicts of yours, on behalf of...who for what i'm not sure...are rather strange.

But you don't care so i don't imagine a reply about it. We'll just wait to hear from you when someone else expresses a thought that isn't on your list of acceptable posting...then we'll watch you call them out in that admonishing playground matron tone.

Physician, heal thyself.

Goddmanit you made me reply. I lose, lol. Well played, sir.

Auto-correct on the iPhone is a killer. No excuse, I know, but the Blackberry software would default the keyed characters, and suggest corrections before posting, much akin to an F7 spell check; whereas iOS defaults the suggested correction, necessitating user intervention to prevent arbitrary edits. There are pros and cons--the most prominent pro point being that there is an obvious hurdle to overcome due to having no tactile feedback from your input peripheral.

That sucks. I'm used to the right click dropdown giving choices with whatever Windows software performs the edit.

That's two of like three things out of 20 where the Blackberry is better than the iPhone. But the iPhone is so much better in so many other ways.

"take a few calming breaths"

No need.

#

"check your meds"

Go fuck yourself.

#

"put an extra lock on the guns"

ONE gun, stored safely...your concern is touching.

So how do fringe extremists respond?

A perfect example of someone who most needs guns to defend himself. Otherwise he would have nothing but insult and profanity to defend his ego. "He dissed me and I fixed him." Clearly that makes him a man.

Heaven forbid should someone with a pre-frontal cortex challenge his politically correct profanity. Thank god for big guns to defend his right to disparage others.

As the NRA are fond of saying, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun ... is a good guy with a gun ... or a teacher with skills at human interaction (and cahones the size of watermelons)...

Quote:

A teacher at a high school in California has been praised by police for averting a serious shooting incident.

The teacher and a campus supervisor talked a gunman into putting down his weapon after he had shot and injured one pupil at Taft Union High School.

Police said the gunman had enough ammunition to kill many people.

The injured student was taken to hospital in an air ambulance and is in a critical condition.

The drama started after 09:00 local time (17:00 GMT) when the gunman, also a student, arrived late, armed with a shotgun, at the school in the small town in California's central valley.

Students and staff telephoned police, but before officers could arrive, the suspect had shot at two people in a class in the science block. One shot missed its target.

The teacher, who had been grazed by a pellet, then intervened. He is reported by US media to have warned the suspect that there would be no shooting in his class, at which point the gunman put down his weapon and police officers arrested him.

From the article:

Quote:

"They talked him into putting that shotgun down. He in fact told the teacher, 'I don't want to shoot you,' and named the person that he wanted to shoot," Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.

How much you want to bet the person he wanted to shoot was a bully? How much you want to bet every teacher in the building knows that kid is a bully, and has done nothing about it?
