How important is your written Language?

Thanks for presenting the game. Here's what I have gleaned from ALL of the words you've chosen to use in ALL of your posts, since arriving (and NOT just limited to these "5 or 6 that [you'll] let [me] know when [you're] done and then" I may respond):

Regardless of if you're "a conservative", "a TRUE conservative", or "a circus midget who enjoys being catapulted out of cannons 5 nights a week and twice on weekends", some things about you are abundantly obvious:


1. You believe you are "right", and ergo, everyone who does not believe as you do is "wrong"; because of this, a "discussion board" is no place for you, as you are not interested in having a "discussion"...you are interested in finding an online pulpit by which to preach your brand of *right-ness* to the ignorant masses, of which I am one;

2. You take particular exception each time I make a post that is not in 100% agreement to something you've posted; others can post things that are not in 100% agreement to what you've posted, and you pay little mind to it...but when I do it, it's *like* you are compelled to *say* something;

3. You do this based on the *fact* that you perceive I am "a TRUE liberal" and you MUST stamp any such foolish ideas out of my head OR because I am a woman and you are a man and therefore you MUST stamp any such foolish ideas out of my head; and

4. Because of the veracity/consistency/urgency of your obsessed compulsion TO take particular exception to every post I make, I suspect we are NOT, virtually, strangers. If it makes you feel any better, you are NOT alone on this site with your OCD-ness which is directed at me; there's a handful of you...some who predate me on this site and others, like you, who've arrived after I began my (thus far) short time here.



Regardless of any other future words you post, I have been left with the impression you are a danger to me personally and - if you suddenly appeared in my real world - I would do everything in my power to get away from you as quickly as possible. My life, thus far, has been filled with men who are drawn to my strength as a woman and want to get as close to it as possible, simply so they may destroy it, so they can be the *ultimate* conqueror of my/a woman's strength. Other online women would do well to pay attention to these facts, but they don't...they tell themselves men like you only do such things to women like me...and that women, like me, deserve it; ergo, they'll be spared from it. Unfortunately for ALL the women, rarely do men like you find yourselves attracted to the women who will lay down - and over - for you...and so NO one ends up with the person who makes them feel the best about themselves, and the *fighting* continues.


As I said earlier, "if it waddles and quacks like a duck", well, dammit...that's enough red flags for me.

(Oh, and for the record, I'm using "you" both singularly and as a representation of *your* type.)





That WAS a fun game!!! I'm glad you *made* me play it. :tup:
 
Language is how we communicate. I love it and it can be used in so many different ways that it's hard to express here how I honestly feel about it. I believe that for me it's very important. Especially being a web designer and programmer.

@mrldii

Wow! :!:

Where does this hate and vitriol come from? :lol:

Ordinarily I would defend myself against such accusations, but in this case it is not necessary.

Your words here and on other Off Topix threads stand. Anyone who comes by later, and sees this discussion can go and see for themselves if your accusations are correct. And decide for themselves what kind of person I am, and what kind of person you are.

"However", this one...

2. You take particular exception each time I make a post that is not in 100% agreement to something you've posted; others can post things that are not in 100% agreement to what you've posted, and you pay little mind to it...but when I do it, it's *like* you are compelled to *say* something;

...Interests me.

Got any examples?

Also, why do you have such a low opinion of other women?

Oh, and perhaps someone should contact the Mod for this forum and let him know someone's making personal attacks upon me within threads IN his forum. Or someone should let me know that a goose/gander policy IS in effect here, so I can begin responding, in kind...:)
 
Well, I waited a respectful amount of time...

Having trouble with those questions?

Here, I will give you an easier one.

Because of the veracity/consistency/urgency of your obsessed compulsion TO take particular exception to every post I make

Got some examples?

Since I exhibit such behavior to "every" post you make, should be easy to show us many examples...:)

That same Mod - just like you and/or any other interested party - can go to your posting history, which IS attached to your profile, and see with what particular interest and particular frequency you take particular exception to MY posts which do not agree with your posts 100% on any given subject.

Factually-speaking, of course...as it IS all still there in black-and-white, unless it went "right over your head", "my friend" and/or virtual "brother".


"Hate and vitriol"? For stating the truth and the facts of the matter? What? Because, as a woman, I didn't giggle while making my online posts in REply to you? Is there a double-standard here? You, because you're *right*, can type whatever you want and I, because I'm NOT *right*, must simply *take* it? Or, is it because you're a man, and I'm not?


Oh. *Sorry*...that was redundant. You, as a man, ARE automatically *right* and I, as a woman, must automatically *take* it.


Sorry, dude...not in my little virtual world...no matter how much you stamp your little feet that it simply must be so.


:drunk:



ETA: I am sooooo sorry that I stepped away from the computer to deal with real-life and real-world events, and was not able to be here to immediately respond to another one of your posts directed AT me, in this thread,


princess.
 
@mrldii

Couldn't find any examples to either of those, huh?

I see you also chose not to answer my questions.

Quite alright, you are free to answer or not. And I know you know that, so no need for a snarky comment about how I am a man, you are a woman, etc., etc., etc... We get it.

Once again, your posts and my posts will stand, for anyone that cares to check. And, in the mean time, you show the world who you really are.

"Hate and vitriol"? For stating the truth and the facts of the matter? What?

No, those are not "facts", those are your opinions. Clearly, they are not facts.

They are your opinions, just as if someone stated that "As usual, something sailed over (your) head". Just an opinion, nothing more...;)
 
@mrldii

I did provide examples; I did answer your questions. The proof is found in your posting history, which you acknowledged exists, here:

Thank you for your permission again to respond...or not. I was NOT being "snarky" when stating that there is SOME reason you feel it is yours to allow me to respond when you tell me I may, and that it is either because you're *right* and I'm not OR because you are a man and I am not. Factually-speaking, in this thread alone, you have [already] done it at least twice...all the while demanding of me that I produce the proof that you have ever done such a thing.

It is a factual statement - not my opinion - that your posts are attached to your posting history; it is a factual statement - not my opinion - that you take special exception to MY posts. If you are too lazy/too ineffectual at pushing buttons while online TO go to your posting history to see that fact, feel free to scroll up through just this thread, alone, for the proof that otherwise "goes over your head" and/or that keeps eluding you.


It's all still there, in black-and-white.





I'm going to step away for a few seconds and deal with someone who's just stepped into my office, so if I don't respond to you as timely as you'd like...

...hopefully, you'll understand why, this time.

Uh...no, you did not provide examples, nor did you answer the questions. As I stated earlier, quite alright, you are under no obligation to. But please do not pretend otherwise. Or keep pretending...However you choose.

You made a statement in post 21...

You either could not, or would not, produce even one example when asked...

So I assume they either do not exist, or perhaps you are "too lazy/too ineffectual" (to quote someone else...;)) to do so, and if that is the case, then that fact does not elude me...:)

Once again, your words stand for all to see.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you, you, a strong woman, for giving me, a man, with small feet, and probably a midget in a circus, permission to understand...:)
 
@Rooster

The proof you are seeking from me - that you have now demanded that I produce for you to see for a third time - is contained within your own posting history and within this very thread. If your browser is unable to show you your previous posts within this very thread as you make them, how is my scrolling up, quoting them, and placing them within this very thread FOR you going to help?!?

I am well aware ALL my words placed on the internet can be seen by others...and show others how I truly am; I'm one of the ones who believes it's important as words should do that...you believe it's not important and that words can be misconstrued and do NOT show us as we truly are. Why are you attempting to make my argument for me...

...on your [faulty] browser, did it appear I needed your help?


I did not give you permission to understand why I may not be able to respond you to as quickly as you'd like, as you've professed; I merely explained why I might, again, not be able to do so as quickly as you'd like and hoped you'd understand. I wasn't really "hoping" it for your sake...but rather for *ours*, so anyone who might be visiting this thread could be spared another emotional outburst, *like* this one:


Well, I waited a respectful amount of time...

You began stomping your feet when I'd not responded to your post AT me after 48 minutes. Ironically, in this very same thread, you've gone [at least] 62 minutes before replying to a post I'd made in REply to a post you'd made AT me. I was able to handle it, though...without throwing a tizzy-fit over the lack of attention you'd paid me for over an hour!!!


Perhaps, as a woman, I'm just made of stronger stuff...due to the monthly cramping mechanisms and child-birthing equipment, and shit like that. Apparently, these things make us equipped to better handle physical pain, emotional let-downs, and all-round bouts of displeasure put upon us by others.



*gigglesnort*


==================================




Anywoo, to put this thread back on-topic, yes...I DO believe what we write and *say* on the internet is VERY indicative of how/who/where we are in real-life, in the real world, and in real time and that others should take note of that. On a somewhat related side-note, I also am a strong believer in, advocate for, and seeker of


integrity.

:drunk:

You timed me! :lol:

You can do a lot in 48 minutes...:)

For instance, if you look at your post #21 and then look at my response, you will see that only 53 minutes had elapsed. In those 53 minutes, I went back and checked all my posts (160+), to see if perhaps I was guilty of your accusations and just didn't realize it.

So when you say this...

2. You take particular exception each time I make a post that is not in 100% agreement to something you've posted; others can post things that are not in 100% agreement to what you've posted, and you pay little mind to it...but when I do it, it's *like* you are compelled to *say* something;

And this...

4. Because of the veracity/consistency/urgency of your obsessed compulsion TO take particular exception to every post I make

Happy to report..."not guilty". :)

As for my responses in this thread, all I have done is respond to your posts and otherwise just give you a taste of what you have been giving "others". If you were to actually go back and look at my responses to you, prior to your posts today, you would find I have treated you with respect.

Apparently, based on todays conversation, more respect than you deserved...

But, of course, if you actually did go back and look...You wouldn't see it.

And it bothers me to say that, it bothers me that I feel the need to give you a taste of what you give others.

Personally, I do not "wish to engage in personal attack"; I AM, however, willing to REply and REspond to others, in *kind*, as I believe in speaking to others in the language they are most comfortable with.

Know what I mean? ;)

*gigglesnort* (Times 2...) :lol:
 
@ rooster

Nahhhh...hate to disappoint you Big Guy, but I didn't time you.

Factually-speaking, each post is time and date-stamped, as they're made. You'd know this for a fact - and not assume it's simply my opinion - if you didn't have a faulty browser and instead, employed one that allowed you to actually scroll up in a thread you're currently posting in and see it for yourself.

~Alas~ you don't, so ~alas~ you can't.





To bring this back to being on-topic, rooster...how you feelin' about the OP's questions:

"Can you tell the temperament of the person posting or is it open to subjection and suggestion?" and "Is [aggressive] posting [an] indication someone feels passionate about what they are saying or bordering on [an] abusive character?"

NOW?




Still in the school that believes that what YOU post isn't really indicative of how YOU truly are in real-life?...which, of course, was what prompted you to take exception to my initial post, to begin with...oh...so...long...ago.


:lol:
 
...it bothers me that I feel the need to give you...


Agreed. It should cause you concern; this is exactly to what I was referring when I used the terms "compulsion", "compelled", and "OCD-ness" when posting in your general direction...AND when I stated in the real world, I would run like hell from you.


But, you already knew that from our previous virtual dealings on other sites, before you arrived here, after I arrived here.


"Holes in the mind..." and shit like that.


So, what's it gonna be? YOU gonna stop yourself and "your need" to post AT me on this site...or do you again need MY help to *make* you stop and get over "your need" to post AT me on this site, too?



YOUR choice, Big Guy. I'd *hate* to have to start ignoring you withOUT hitting a single virtual button while online...yanno?

:halo:
 
But, you already knew that from our previous virtual dealings on other sites, before you arrived here, after I arrived here.

OK, thank you for that. Now it kinda makes sense!

Do you recall the other day, when I said that it seemed when you were talking to me, I didn't think you were actually talking to me?
I meant that when I said it, and now, I think I understand why.

I don't believe I have ever talked to you before on the internet. You have a distinctive posting style, I am pretty sure I would have recognized it if I had.

Could I ask please, who you think I am? What board or chat room were we on? What name did you use, what name do you think I used?

Because, honestly, I do not think I ever talked to you before I came to Off Topix...
 
...I do not think...

Again, another point on which we can agree.


So, you've made your choice and would prefer that I make you stop posting AT me for you, thus stopping your discomfort at "your need" and compulsion TO do so, withOUT my having to push a virtual online "ignore" button.


Between the two of us, one of us should be able to *make* you have some integrity...i.e., "to say what you mean and mean what you say." Consider it done.

FOR you, of course.

But, you already knew that from our previous virtual dealings on other sites, before you arrived here, after I arrived here.

Well played! :lol:

I showed every one of your accusations against me false. Oh, you tried to misdirect, but you failed.

This-

2. You take particular exception each time I make a post that is not in 100% agreement to something you've posted; others can post things that are not in 100% agreement to what you've posted, and you pay little mind to it...but when I do it, it's *like* you are compelled to *say* something;

And this-

4. Because of the veracity/consistency/urgency of your obsessed compulsion TO take particular exception to every post I make, I suspect we are NOT, virtually, strangers. If it makes you feel any better, you are NOT alone on this site with your OCD-ness which is directed at me; there's a handful of you...some who predate me on this site and others, like you, who've arrived after I began my (thus far) short time here.

"Each time" and "every" time...

Yet you could not even come up with one example! Oh, you indicated others could look, and then you said there were examples right here on this thread. Yet, as you so graciously pointed out, each post contains a time and date. So, unless you are saying that you can see the future, then you should be able to find examples prior to your making those statements! Don't you think?

Yet you could not, and you cannot...

Then there is this-

My life, thus far, has been filled with men who are drawn to my strength as a woman and want to get as close to it as possible, simply so they may destroy it, so they can be the *ultimate* conqueror of my/a woman's strength. Other online women would do well to pay attention to these facts, but they don't...they tell themselves men like you only do such things to women like me...and that women, like me, deserve it; ergo, they'll be spared from it.

I asked you why you had such a low opinion of other women.

You never answered...

Later you said you did, but you never did.

But then, you came up with this one-

But, you already knew that from our previous virtual dealings on other sites, before you arrived here, after I arrived here.

Like I said before, well played!

How would I ever disprove that?

Unfortunately for you, I thought of a way. :devil:

And so, I withdraw from the field...The day is yours. Goodbye. :)
 
Just throwing this out there..

If you click in to someone's profile, then click "Ignore," all their posts will no longer be visible to you.

There's plenty of people to talk to on here. Avoid the one's you know you're going to have conflicts with.

Healthy debates and occasional disagreements are one thing, but if it's going beyond that, hit that ignore button and save yourself from the drama.

That's my advice anyway.
 
After spending some time on the forums over the years. Written language is something I find something of importance to me.

Can you tell the temperament of the person posting or is it open to subjection and suggestion?

Is agressive posting and indication someone feels passionate about what they are saying or bordering on abusive character?


So my question is how important is language it to you?

It's not important to me simply because the forums aren't the real world.

At another site some take my sense of humor as attacking but to me my opinion
is just an opinion or my sense of humor..I'm not interested in wanting people to
understand me simply because the forums are simply entertainment to me.

On rare occasions I might post seriously to a topic that is close to my heart
but that's very rare for me to do.

See this is interesting to me. Why? Because of how people perceive the internet.

For me I see that there are real people behind the screen. Excluding trolls etc. Which is why I personally struggle with certain characters.

Which in turn changes my attitude towards that person. With very much the mindset, if you're been an ass I have no problem saying it and why you are. I expect the same.
