The Chat Thread

[Henk]

You're really blowing everything out of proportion, you seem very upset.  I didn't insult you, nor did I bully you.  There's no reason to get so upset.  I bear you no ill will.

I feel rather the opposite of being upset. Isn't saying I'm upset not just again another sign of your resentment tactics? I feel being a victim of it already, though I realize what's going on. Therefore I've tried to avoid it.

Now explain what this have to mean (in thread schoolgirl crushes):

Me:
I don't manipulate things with it.

You:
I disagree, I've seen you use it for that purpose multiple times.

later on in that thread:
You:
Snipper, I thought you were married with children.

I admit I don't understand the word "snipper" fully but the sentence sounds bullying considering the context. What did you exactly mean to say with it?

Why didn't you reply on my posts about why editing is not a bad thing?

[Henk]

Well if I had known how easily Henk's feelings are hurt I wouldn't have said anything!

Resentment tactics, David, though you may not realize.

I hate to say it Henk, but you've done it again.  By moving your post you made Elgarian's reply look wacky because you removed the post he was replying too.  At least you posted it again, but why couldn't you just leave it alone?  Please consider my words.  Don't get in a huff, just think about it.

[Henk]

Ouch. Sorry, sorry - I had no idea I was acting as a catalyst for all this reopening of wounds. Is it possible to stop it escalating again? (To this detached observer, this looks more like a series of misunderstandings, rather than actual harm being intended by anyone.) Anyway - my apologies for inadvertently relighting the fuse.

May happen. But the golden rule on an internet-forum like this might be "don't mind if there's a conflict between two members". Not suitable for real life, but here it might work.

As I said, it's a good habit to quote the text you reply on.

Can we start being silly again, now?

Man carrying custard pie  + banana skin on path  = Whoops. Splat. Umph.

We have friends whose young son would vomit at the very word 'banana.' Of course, his class mates clued into this and there was an uncomfortably frequent telephone call the gist of which was.....please come and fetch your son, he has been sick on my feet YET AGAIN.

I don't know why the teacher kept risking such proximity. She may have tauget, but she did not seem to learn.

He wouldn't last long reading the polls on this forum.  Poor guy.

Slim girls are attractive to men, fuller girls are attractive to men because they are more attractive than slim girls. There is a thought behind this.  

Which type do you prefer?

I like the RIP Michael Jackson thread much better than the Mozart is a fraud? thread

[Henk]

Pop music is tasty to me, jazz is fine to me, classical music is ? (I don't know) to me.

[knight66]

Well Karl, one must at least admire your application to a thread you did not so much enjoy.

I don't feel obliged to contribute in any significant way if I don't enjoy the thread.

[Elgarian]

I can't be bothered with the Mozart is a Fraud thread.

Does this mean I'm uninquisitive? Complacent? Just plain bad?

[knight66]

You're grounded.

It was kind of fun the first time around, although the milk went sour many times even then. The second helping... only for the ultra-masochists with tummies of iron.

Hey that describes me on this day of 100+ (Fahrenheit) heat.

I am posting an internet meme here to apologize to Sara for disagreeing with her in the listening thread.

I haven't looked at the RIP Michael Jackson thread either.

Did it come to blows? Articles of furniture being thrown about? Or was it restricted to icy stares?
