Given that you *do* sometimes like to join "the community" in their attempted pile-ups, I had not expected such a compliment.

hey i cannot stop others from reply'ing to my posts. i did not "join" anything. i was merely using the same level of sarcasm you seem to enjoy using when someone claims that they know everything. you still have me 1 voted for that compliment - i already said was intentional. this is not justice.

I, on the other hand, have a very warm place in my heart for bullies (and such is "the community") -- I *loathe* bullies with a white-hot passion. Due to the way they *misunderstood* Christianity when they first became Christians, my parents instructed us to not fight back. And I was a dutiful son. The bullies, of course, quickly figured out that we were "easy pickings." The final straw for me was when I had to lead my younger brother and little sisters into an open sewer to protect them from a gang of four or five boys of about my age (my sisters would have been in 1st grade, my brother in 3rd, I in 5th). Since that day, I have made it a point to be the "savage" my ancestry calls me to be.

Sarcasm is a dangerous master. And Stan wasn't claiming to know everything; he was addressing sarcasm to the studied ignorance of an individual.

there is nothing like a blanket statement to get the firing roaring. so this was it? your proof that i am in the "community" is 1 post, between stan and i... i do not know if that really qualifies your accusations :((

He was addressing an individual who is a passive-aggressive squish-leftist.

"Blanket statements" are sometimes true. The irony here is ... ironic. The (stated) basis of your objection to Stan's "blanket statement" is itself just another "blanket statement."

stan claimed leftist (not the original poster) are wrong about everything. thus one would have to know everything in order to back up such a statement. which really is not the point. you accused me of being in the lying bully community and are using my comment to stan as your 1 piece of proof. a conversation that did not even involve you. stan being right or wrong about that does not change the fact that my activities were not bullying, lying etc. i just think you should take back your accusation about my soapbox postings. :(

I'm not going to spend the rest of the evening trolling through old posts looking for other instances. If I have misunderstood you as having you big toe over the line with "the community," it will be clear, soon enough, by your behavior. I haven't paid a great deal of attention to you so far (for you're not that regular here); if my over-all impression of you is incorrect, I can correct it.

so in other words...you accused me of something you are not willing to take the time to look into and find proof of? and you call yourself a defender of honesty and justice... :|

... the sandass script, I mean. The more of you "family" asses install it, the better. If enough of you go for it, perhaps you'll take enough sand with you that the SoapBox can be dug out of the SandBox. On the other hand, I really don't expect a single one of the "family-guys" to stick with the script.

As it turns out, I had (as I said earlier, not intentionally). I know I had because when I looked at it (after first reading the above), there were 2 votes, with a "score" of 3. So I thought, "OK, I'll just vote it a 5, to balance it out" ... and the number of votes stayed at 2, but the "score" changed to 5. It's funny, really. Here MyBravePet, the Anonymouse, voted your post[^] a 5, not quite able to realize that you had leveled a compliment against me. :laugh:

You're not really paying attention, are you? The point had nothing to do with you making a "mean" comment. It had to do with you making a false accusation[^] ... and with a secondary implied assertion which is illogical and irrational, at that. The false accusation contained within your sneering comment is that Stan is an ignorant-know-nothing know-it-all. The illogical and irrational secondary implied assertion is that the opinion Stan expressed is invalid because it is "merely" an opinion (the quotes are around 'merely' because the idea of "mere opinion" as being in contrast to "fact" is a whole other level of irrationality). There may well be other layers of illogic and irrationality in that one little sneer, but I am trying, even now, to be charitable with you.
jgasm wrote:

Let's see here: certain dishonest people continuously make false and/or dishonest assertions about me ... and *I've* developed a reputation? Amazing! The only truth in that "reputation" is that I am not nice. But, I never even once claimed to be nice, nor do I wish to be nice. I emphatically am not nice. And, after all, you have just excused yourself for not being nice. I trust you can excuse me too.
