I didn't think you were being mean. But it was incorrect to make the statement that no one got it. I thought it was a good joke and didn't want the original poster to be discouraged from making math jokes.

Garnet, you can check through all my posts. I do not go out of my way to be mean. I seldom debate on this board and when I do I try very hard to argue on the merits of the issues and not personalities.

The following is a quote I'm familiar with and thought it would make a good retort to your post. I decided not to add it, since I thought it might hurt your feelings. However, since I've been hit with the brush anyway, I'll give you this:

Tell the truth. You're originally from NYC aren't you?

And you were being dishonest saying that you only respond to the issues and don't personally attack people. You asked me to search your previous posts--so I did.

Do you stalk ex-boyfriends?

No, do you?

Oh wait, that wasn't a serious question, was it? It was an attempt by wolf to insult and/or make fun of Garnet. How surprising that wolf would do something like that. Shocking!

You're becoming quite predictable, dear.

lumberjim notices that this is the second time in this thread that garnet has referred to herself in the third person. And he thinks it's kind of pretentious. but at the same time, he is just being cute, and is in no way singling out the aforementioned garnet and 'picking on her'

xoxoxoBruce · 01-06-2005, 05:48 PM

Why is referring to ones self in the third person, pretentious?

I'm not so sure it's pretentious, but since LJ is being cute again maybe we'll let this one slide.
