Been said before...

I was just ranting out loud. I wasn't talking to you personally. My apologies if people thought I was talking to them like children. My mistake, I thought the soapbox was all about the rants. And likewise, I don't wish to fight, just don't see the value in trying to insult me. The way I saw it I could only have insulted those with whom the shoe fits. If I'm wrong and I insulted the entire list membership, then I do sincerely apologize.

Happens to the best of us. You have to make that mistake to learn that the SoapBox is really for ambushing people who post a rant. You generally catch 70% of a threads ire just by being the original poster.

Diego, have you thought about turning your script into an article? Currently it's a bit buried in the archives...
I promised to do it and still want to. I'll do it on February, after Brazilian Carnaval.

Are you still trying to find ways to cut up on me?
I gave you what seemed like a useful hint. Why so paranoid?

You mean when you posted, "Go ahead now children and rip on me some more. Lets see what you got. Maybe, just maybe, you'll engage in true wit instead of the schoolyard insults. So grade school" - That was when we misconstrued your remarks?

Looks like you are confusing my original post (which is what I was replying to) with a reply later (which you are quoting). I only meant my original post with regards to my apology. Not my replies. If you start with the abuse, I'll more than happily join in and attempt to make a comedy out of it. If it still insists on being tragic then I'll move on. But, if you're really that bored, scour the net for some political piece to talk about. Why attempt to pick apart my words and hold me to task? Do you love me that much that you insist on making me a better person?

So, you're not insulting a newbie.
That begs the question, then: why are you acting like one?

Every village needs an idiot and he's the SBs village idiot. Depriving the village of their idiot will not be appreciated.

some people here appear to need someone to hammer on
Yep the village idiot, if you take away the village idiot you must epect to replace him as a target for a while at least. Besides there are too many here who like playing with the village idiot and they will continue to do so. This is born out by the number of rants that have been started and the years he has been inhabiting the SB.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

useful at getting my article account uni-voted. Other than that it sounded more like a barb disguised as a helpful hint.

You might want to qualify that some more and actually point out what qualifies my actions as a newbie. I'm listening.... ...lessee... posted a rant.... got slammed with insults... parried a bit.... hmmm... I must be new.

You're right. I might. But I'm secure enough that I don't intend in getting into a pissing contest with you.

Ooh, snarky. I wonder if it's because "the community" has started gang-raping you...

Snark is almost always appropriate when speaking to you. How many times has it been, so far, that you've turned to me for sympathy? I know it has been at least twice.

You don't say? But then, this perfectly accords with what I've been saying all along about "the community," doesn't it?

True. He's been on the site a few years, but I distinctly remember him showing up shortly after Red and the Negus left. For that matter Kyle left as well.

You generally get 90% of the wrath of a select few. I know it looks like a lot, but it's not that large of a percentage of the overall thread. Or you could just consider youself a special case. ;)

Am I supposed to be insulted by this? Am I supposed to turn all shades of red and turn away in humiliation? :rolleyes:

That they hate you? I've certainly heard that from a lot of places, but I'm not sure that you're one of them.

How utterly original! But, as I said, "Snark is almost always appropriate when speaking to you." You just don't appear to understand anything else.

What a sad, sad view of the world you seem to have. One might almost feel a sprig of sympathy.
