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.

"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.

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.

"what the hell is there to stop and think about???"


*About what 'you' (as Flint) can do, will do, would do, should do.

Now, if your thinking leads you to look at editing others, then have at it: just don't be surprised when those others resist the editing. I don't get the appeal of fixing the other (especially when the other may not view him- or her-self as broken), but as you like.

If, like me, your thinking leads you to a keener sense of your 'self' and how you can self-depend, -defend, -define, and -motivate, then good on you!

Hey, even if your thinking leads you to the quixotic job of addressing the culture (an entity as real as ghost farts) then, have at it!

My point: whatever it is 'you' do, it ought to be for reasons you suss out for yourself (or not...**frankly, I don't give a shit what you do...just stay the hell away from me).










*thinking is best done with a closed mouth, alone; not in the midst of a crowd, jabbering away

** as I say up-thread: I have mine and I have no interest in giving it up, so what the rest of you ***folks do (about guns) either makes my life easier or harder but in no way truly stymies me...the Law is ass (kick it or ride it: never obey it)

***I don't care what president, congress, supreme court (or any one else) has to say on the matter...I'm equally indifferent to the machinations of both pro- and anti-gun folks

Thou doest protest too loudly.

henry, you seem upset. I am sorry that you are having unpleasant feelings, and I hope you feel better soon.

"Separation is most easily obtained by "self-leaving"."

Why should I do such a thing?

Besides: I'm not stuck here with 'you'; you're all stuck here with 'me'.

Get used to it.

#

"you seem upset"

A picayune assessment based on nuthin': obvious diversion.

I expected no better.

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.

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.

No need.

"check your meds"

Go fuck yourself.

"put an extra lock on the guns"

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