I read again to better grok what you say here and come up with a question to
ask. Do you really show, right at this moment, “least bit of remorse”?
|
I do feel remorse (and many other emotions) about having started this thread.
But that doesn’t mean that I don’t stand 100% behind every word I have
written. I leave it to you to decipher when I am being sincere vs. when I am
being sarcastic.

If not, could you please enlighten us which of the following is true:
1. Sentences like “It makes me wonder what kind of horrors they must have
suffered during childhood that made them into such damaged adults” generally
does not “hurt others”,
|
This statement was not intended to hurt others,
|
If it is not the obvious, then the intention must be something myterious that we
mere mortals cannot comprehend...hmmm...still don’t know...
| |
but I can see how it would. I sincerely apologize to anyone who felt hurt
by this statement.
|
Oh, no, it’s not necessary. My hide is rather thick (especially when compared to
yours, obviously)
| |
Furthermore, (and I mean this in the most constructive way possible) if you
feel that this statement was directed at you, you might want to seek
professional counseling and/or a stronger prescription.
|
Directed at JLUG members except myself? Wow, we should be friends or
something..:-) And thank you for these constructive outbursts of you. Now we
have five I guess.:
1. I am surprised that anyone intelligent enough to operate a computer would
find what goes on over there even remotely entertaining.
2. It makes me wonder what kind of horrors they must have suffered during
childhood that made them into such damaged adults.
3. It’s not even interesting to watch them degrade themselves like that. How can
they even stand each other?
4. I had the same kind of reaction that I have whenever I see somebody proudly
making a complete @$$ of themself in public.
5. You might want to seek professional counseling and/or a stronger
prescription.

2. Reading all through a seperate forum in depth (which you don’t like, but
not complaining) and post your opinions about its members (who are mostly
members of this place, too) in here (that you appearently like as most of us
do) is not “purposely going out of your way to hurt others”,
|
When I was last active in online LEGO forums, JLUG either did not yet exist,
or was not on my radar. I visited that site (and others) to see what it was
all about. Perhaps it would have been more polite of me to have kept my
final conclusion to myself, but I did not go there with any intent beyond
“kicking the tires” to see if it might be a forum I would enjoy reading on a
regular basis.
|
So you were in need of reading ALL of it, even the supplementary material like
CTOP page and such, just to understand if you will like it or not?
C’mooooon...It was interesting and a fun experience, admit it..:-)
| |
And since you seem to frequently post invitations here on LUGNET for people
to come visit that forum, you should be flattered, not offended, that I took
the time to do so.
|
Ah, I did it only once, (IIRC...I’m lazy, will not go and check before posting)
but thanks for noticing. I feel like a celebrity...and flattered. Just FYI, it
was done just because the person that I invited had already asked “WTF is jlug?”
several times prior to my invatation,

3. We are such lowlifes that we already deserved what you say about us since
we don’t know how to behave, not in Lugnet, but in our non-Lugnet daily life
which you have somehow a need for being concerned, so there is no need for
any remorse and we should ITAMO.
|
I don’t know how you managed to contort anything I have said into this
particular string of words.
|
Really?.. Let me eloborate, or actually, let me let you eloborate:
1. It makes me wonder what kind of horrors they must have suffered during
childhood that made them into such damaged adults.
3. It’s not even interesting to watch them degrade themselves like that. How can
they even stand each other?
| |
However, your relentless obsession with certain individuals is completely
at odds with the “ITAMO” dismissal of others. And here I thought you guys
believed JD was trite!
|
Sorry, but you lost me here... I’m a E2L’er, I really cannot understand...
| |
| |
4. All these are actually just for fun, since you think that
off-topic.debate is a bit fruitless for a while and needs some refreshing,
|
I did not make this post lightly, nor do I enjoy this kind of confrontation.
|
Really?.. I thought the fun I’m getting was mutual..:-) And I know you guys
cannot make anything related to Lego lightly, it is such a serious business at
the end..:-)
You have choosen wisely..:-D
| |
I know the name “Chris” is a bit unusual around here, but it is at least as
plausible a pseudonym as “Selçuk.” In actuality, I am a robotic cat who was
endowed with artificial intelligence by my creator. As we speak, I am
sending forth an army of nano-cat-bots to claw your furniture and defecate in
your LEGO bins. Bow before me and purr, o lowly one!
|
Wow, you have the potential man... Why don’t you come and join us?..:-)
(just in case, all my lego bins are safely closed).

| (...) If it didn't bother you, then I am not really sure why we are having this discussion. Now I'm going to sound like O.J. Simpson, but if I wanted to be hurtful to the people on JLUG, I think I would've had to do a lot better than that. (...) (...) (18 years ago, 26-Nov-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
