Answer, yes! Second question: will it work as one?

Oh, and there is a shot at you in today's offer thread ;-)

Seriously, please tell me if I am out of line. But I feel like this is the second id.iot in a few days (the other was takethefarmandrun), though, and I can't not say something.

Well, I probably took a shot at them first for going after kyle.


Edit: But I think it's hilarious that they bought a set after all of their whining.

I figured out who it is ... Alec Baldwin!

Which I, of course, appreciate.

You do tend to jump on people, whether you consider them shills or zombies or whatever, and are willing to escalate. It's the internet, you can't win To be fair, not picking you out, I feel the same way about BD discussions, politics (Mark's argument with Jen on fb, holy cow, that was out of nowhere), etc. I just tune it out.

I appreciate the honestly. I am not afraid to say something, but perhaps I do so too often/too strongly. I know it's completely futile, but I just can't help myself! (Pointless self-defense warning!) This guy threatened to leave "for good" at least twice! How can I not say something. (End of pointless self-defense.)

Yeah, we were talking past one another (it didn't help she was reading things into it that wasn't there).

Exactly! And then they end up buying the set! It has to be Alec Baldwin.


Edit: And funnier still was that they replied about their leaving to the wrong post of mine. The one they wanted was 2 or 3 posts down from that one. The one they responded to was a simple explanation of the pricing.

Yes. Seeing your hometown underwater and the pathway to one of your favorite hangouts obliterated, and knowing that that hangout was the hardest hit and is basically gone... kind of puts you on edge.

It takes years for things to be rebuilt...but you don't here us complaining.....yes, things got destroyed, but they are just that, things..they can be rebuilt or replaced, lives can't

It's the memories, for me. The shoreline got changed. I can't share these things with my nephews, or HAK's nieces. Or my cousin's kid. We get to keep the memories, but we may never be able to share them with the next generation.

Buildings can be rebuilt, provided the land is still there to rebuild on. The image that haunts me the most is the one of the Mantoloking Bridge now being a bridge to nowhere. Giant swath of land, gone. That cannot be rebuilt. They'll have to tear it down and create new pathways onto the barrier islands.

The face of the Jersey Shore has changed.

Seriously? I find your posts most generally antagonistic, but honest, towards those those that are being unrealistic of what woot! is, or had become. We may not like it, as it has changed, but it's what we've got.

Hmmm....nope, and I would take one of those Turley cabs if your getting any.

Ok. New rule for me. My first post will be nicer and less antagonistic. My second post...

I kind of do, too. I don't really want to be aD, though. However, I still feel that my posts, even if they're quasi-offensive, have merit.

I'd tend to agree with this. You bring up good points, but they do tend to be pretty direct and can be perceived as antagonistic. I'm all for pointing it out, ftr.

Diplomatic is not a word anyone would use when describing me. I have no illusions about this fact.

Well, then don't be surprised by some of the responses.

I suspect you're just as critical of yourself, however (I know the type).

kylemittskus wrote:Diplomatic is not a word anyone would use when describing me. I have no illusions about this fact.

And unlike others, (the offended) I have absolutely no problems with this. Quite refreshing actually.

First of all, quite perspicacious of you considering the only medium on which we have interacted is the interwebs. And I'm not surprised by the reactions. I, however, don't want to turn people away from the fantastic community that I was able to become part of. Out of the other side of my mouth, though, I don't want people to come in and turn others away (today, the wine maker) from the fantastic community I was able to become part of.

I've now finished off a 2004 Meeker Kiss Ridge, and the Domenico 2001 Syrah. Both capped with Ar and held up very nicely, but only one glass each. It's Friday, I feel compelled to find something else to consume, but what...?

I'm going to need some tonight, that troll keeps showing up. I really wanted to call him out for saying he was leaving, yet keeps coming back.

I did that twice, although they've been deleted. I had some hard apple cider tonight for the first time. Quite enjoyable.

What the hell! Every time! Spam post, only in these two threads.

I'm sure you'll remember there was a time, many years ago, when you and I used to go at it. Once I figured out that, basically, you're a lot like me when it comes to saying what's on your mind, and most of the time (including the most recent discourse) I tend to agree with you, the nasty bits completely went away. I don't think you've ever turned away anyone of substance. Now, get off the maybe list, and onto the attendees list for D&D, and we can finally meet in person. I'll bring a bottle of Ty's '05 Field Blend Red (still drinking nicely).

kylemittskus wrote:Why is it always me who pisses people off?

cause you're a Beelzebub?




I think the real reason is people don't like people pointing out when they're stupid.

rjquillin wrote:Oban, yeah! Excellent call.

IFTFY.

tenuki wrote:I don't think bowtie pisses people off, they just piss him off

basically. I don't set out to antagonize people, but if they're stupid they should be told in hopes they cease being stupid. If I hung out in the main threads anymore I'd constantly be in trouble. But since I dont' hardly buy anything with the spectre of daycare haunting me, I just stay away.

a day ago, I was a lot of places. seeing as how we lack TIME STAMPS (different, but similiar to tramp stamps) I'm not sure where I was precisely when you were posting. Hey, I like being a sheep though so I'm glad we followed everyone else and got rid of the time stamps. It's like Facebook and that's good cause their stock is doing AWESOME!

I totally missed that, we must not be friends, well, we are, Jen and I. I like to interject nonsense into those arguments.

You need to master the art of making fun of people and having them love you for it.
