Been.pretty clear that I've said all.along that I have no special knowledge. The more propagandized a person is, the angrier and more belligerently they respond.

Why is it exactly that you think that you have a "lock" on reality that other people don't ?



Repetitive much? KISS is my mantra.

As for liking or not liking you, the simple fact is that I don't give a sh!t about you one way or the other.



And that's why you wrote an essay. You are so important to you that it takes caps and italicized words and bold and all the bs that isn't anything but bluster.


quote
I don't care if you're a Franciscan monk or a Colonel in the Cameroon army or some sad, angry, doofus living in a little podunk town in Tennessee.

I don't know you.
By the way, it is impossible for you to insult me because I would first have to value and respect your opinions.



Did you steal your act from the character in The Princess Bride? Inconceivable!

Additionally, the proper word is their, (in context, a possessive pronoun), NOT they're (a contraction of the words: they are).

I tend to initially judge an individual's intellect and education based on their command of proper English spelling and grammar. It's a baseline.



Then you won't be sending me more PMs asking me to rate you positively. Good news.

Pretty sure I've indicated something similar to this previously. Definitely worth quoting.

I don't believe that "sourmash" has received a PM of that kind. It's too far fetched. It's fantastical. It literally beggars belief. I think that the assertion that is implied by that sentence, which is that there has been at least one PM of that kind, is one of these:



Was it an odd way of trying to be sarcastic? If it were just that, I would expect to see "Then you won't be sending me any (more) PMs asking me to rate you positively." The "any" would make a noticeable difference in how I parse that. If it were there. It would be like a "sarcasm tag" or "sarcasm flag." But as worded... "sending me more PMs"... the needle on the Weirdness Meter has been pegged.

I've never read the book or seen the movie but I won't judge you on your personal choices of entertainment.

Like they say in the military these days; "Don't ask. Don't tell."

So you just kept it under cover before that, huh? You be you.

Yeah, it was definitely weird.
