I can't tell you what he meant by anything. Just as I can't agree that what you're perceiving him to have meant is what he DID mean. AND... just as I couldn't tell HIM what you meant by anything you wrote/typed/posted.

It's all a matter of perception. I personally feel you are harboring a resentment against someone based on misperceived, misunderstood posts. It's quite probable that he's doing the same regarding your posts.

This is how wars get started. This is how emotions escalate and the feelings people have (whether real or misperceived) escalate into attacks or defensiveness.

It's just a microcosm of the whole world. But, seriously, it's ridiculous. This is the internet. It's just text on a screen.

I highly recommend to anybody on the internet on this site or any other site to just leave each other alone and talk to other people... not each other... if there is a problem like this.

We don't have an "ignore" button on this software but some sites do. You add people to your "ignore" list and you never see their posts again. Just pretend we have one on this site. Both of you should probably ignore each other if you're irritating each other so much.

My 2 cents.

Even on this thread he holds me up as an example to mnaz as one of those creeps who messes with his shit. Tell me what he means when he says to mnaz he rests his case.

He smiles at me and pisses on my leg constantly. I am trying to understand what I have done to earn his emnity. I think it started when I used the word "bastard" Refering to the USA as the mother of all bastard nations because of all the immigrants who have found a home here. Maybe it is a poor word choice. Maybe I should have used the word "mongrel"

Tell me what he meant by this Doreen. Speaking of your questions going unanswered. He never answered you on that. I will tell you who he is talking about. Me.

OK. I'll take a stab at it. Barry's saying that the discontented will always try to mess up other people's shit.

Why in the world do you think he's talking about YOU? This is a continuation of the thread on the Culture board which was a discussion about politics.

HOW is this about YOU????

Yeah, I think you both misunderstand each other and take posts too personally. That's my feeling about it.

See you.

:) I may be reading between the lines, but it seems as though you're perhaps offended by my not understanding why you're offended. :)

I hope that's not the case. I only said "see you" because you said "see you" to me. It was a return greeting. Like "see you later."

You still haven't explained why you thought the text was somehow referring to YOU and why it offended you. If you'd like to contact me personally and let me know your thoughts, I'm all ears.

Gnight and see you later. :)

One of my fave tunes is called "Evolution" by Ivan Lins. He is an incredible singer and musician, anyway, one of the lines in this song is:
"Evolution is a state of mind".
The line is pretty much the gist of the song, and also really bullseyes the way I feel about evolution myself.

Oh, and by the way Doreen, re Stilltruckings replies, about 8 posts down, Barry tells you he is referring to the "thread starter". This thread was started by Stilltrucking so I think the answer is evident....
Still, don't let it bother you.
My mother always told me: "Theda, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one."
Heh. I think of that advice often, even when i'm the one dishing out opinions myself!!!!!!

Yes, I did mean the thread starter, stilltrucking, whose only possible reason for starting this thread...

...was to fuck with the shit of the first-quoted person. No other reason can he claim. He was in a sense saying, "you're an idiot for thinking this way."

Whenever I see that kind of abuse, I become not-peaceful.

Like SLD said in another thread, peace goes out the window when you fuck with my family.

Peace,

Hey Hest!

Yeah but that wasn't what I was asking. The thread starter, stilltrucking, said his favorite line of the day was "I believe in human evolution". And I wanted to know who said it.

So, Barry's reply that he was referring to the thread starter had nothing to do with anything, in my head. I mean, all I wanted to know was who said "I believe in human evolution".

Now, I finally know who said it. It was mnaz.

The problems regarding people misunderstanding each other is not at all self evident to me.

I have no idea why one person feels he's being sucker punched and why another person is even talking about the thread starter.

It's all Greek to me. LIterally totally completely not self evident. I don't know why people are accusing each other of anything. I can't see one line that sounded like anybody was attacking anybody else until they started accusing each other of attacking. *shrug* LOL! I must have missed something.

If stilltrucking was intending to "fuck with the shit of the first-quoted person" as Barry claims, and mnaz is the one who said it, then if mnaz had a problem with being fucked with, then he'd say something.

I honestly think this whole thread is stupid. :D .... no offense to anyone here. I'm not calling you guys stupid. Maybe it's ME who's stupid. But to me, it appears to be about arguing about nothing... just for the sake of arguing. What's the point? That's just my opinion. Everybody's got one. :shock:

But this has been fun, anyway. It's been a long time since we put the FUN in dysfunctional. haha... I love that line. ;)

Indeed, I must agree it's kinda stupid. Mnaz appeared to take no offense from it. It's a bit mysterious and more so confounding.
I guess I felt like Stilltrucking wasn't being heard..... and well, you don't fuck w/ my family...

Just wanted to clarify again that I wouldn't call you guys stupid. I just think arguing is about nothing is a useless endeavor. But if I missed something and the argument was NOT about nothing... I'm sorry. I can be stupid sometimes.

(I call myself stupid quite often, actually. It puts things in perspective. *smile*)

Sorry, was typing at the same time you were, hest! Yes, exactly. Mnaz didn't take any offense from it. I agree, it seemed like stilltrucking thought he wasn't being heard.

I personally didn't understand the points he was making, though. So apology to stilltrucking for not hearing you. I just didn't get it. That's just me. Duh. ;)

Ten four on the opinions Hester. I got so many opinions I hardly have enough bodily orifices to express them all.

Here is my opinion of this thread. I think it is a green weenie.
