Open Bar: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Listen, Stella, I get. You dont like me.

That is just dandy with me. If you would prefer I avoid you I can do that.

But please quit talking to me, I can.promise I will do the same for you.

I was perfectly OK with you until you took it upon yourself to twist something I said into something else entirely.

So that is a no?

Just a heads-up; you are embarrassing yourself.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

I think there was also something about how I'm a giant piece of shit.

I assume he has some issues he is dealing with. I also don't really care. If someone's issues make them think I'm a giant piece of shit, clearly they aren't someone I should have in my life.

Well, see, that's where you're being unreasonable.   

And UPPITY. 

Seriously, though, what Coyote did reminds me of people who kick the cat because they had a shitty day at work. Which is pretty chickenshit, when you think about it. PTSD or no, he's got enough smarts to see that. But he did it anyway.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Who is "you all"? Is Roger plural now, somehow?

You can like your friend all you want. But he made his feelings toward me clear, and I don't hate him but I don't trust him or want anything further to do with him.

Roger is a cartoon bad guy.  Roger has no emotions at all except evil glee.  Roger is at fault.

Or ROGERANDNIGEL. Or whatever the fuck.

Nobody's "maligning him (Coyote) because of stupid atheist bullshit".

Yeah, well, why examine what actually happened, when you can just make shit up?

Thread is still there. Twid, you might want to read it again.

Now, why would he bother doing that?

Indeed, why would I?

I would have anyway if it was pointed out that I was wrong.

Pretty sure that's been done.

Because I dont want stella to talk to me? I can live with that. That is a pretty broad statement. Are you.embarassed for me? Are all of you embrassed for me?

As for the rest, fine, I wont argue with you guys about this. It is a difference of opinion I can also live with.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Coyote doesn't deserve bad things from me, simply for suddenly and without warning deciding that I am a shitbag.

Apparently, I deserve what he did.

Or so I am fucking told.

If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, is it still Roger's fault?

Yes. Yes, of course it is.

Twid has said that to be a friend to Coyote, he had to do what he did.

Which apparently includes offering a diagnosis on the current state of my PTSD (back a few pages), and the insistence that because we were both soldiers, we should hold hands and take long walks together on the beach, holding hands and stomping on piss crabs.;

Fact is, I left the military in 1996.  I wish I had never joined in the first place.  I feel no kinship with anyone strictly on the basis of their service, prior or present...Certainly not when they go bugshit and declare that I (and you, for that matter) are the cause of all ills.

So Twid got to be a friend to Coyote, at my expense.  I hope that works out well for him.  I think that instead, Coyote will eventually do the same to Twid as he did to me, like the rabid fucking nutbag he is, but I hope that this isn't the case.  I hope that they stay friends for a long time.

As far as I'm concerned, though, I have been pitched under enough buses.  Twid can fuck off and find some other cause to pontificate about.

He's got the PMs to prove it.

Well, after reading two pages about how HORRIBLE I am, I wasn't exactly in the fucking mood to politely clear my throat and mildly suggest that he do what he should have done in the first fucking place.

Hang on there.

I weighed in on whether you had PTSD or not based on some things that you said recently, and I went on to think that perhaps that because of that you can understand Coyote flipping out. And I'm going to revisit the things that he said about you and reassess. Because I'm also still your friend, even though you seem to be willing to terminate that friendship.

As far as me throwing you under the bus, you may also recall a few pages back that I directly said I can't get onboard with Coyote's animosity toward you. That apparently makes me an attention-whoring shitweasel. Well, the fact that you feel so strongly about that makes me think that I should go back and see what there is to see. Maybe I missed something. Maybe I didn't. I'll have to make that determination over the next few days.

You know, maybe I should have, but not once have I said you were a horrible person.

Whatever.  Report your findings to the relevant department.

The department in question is you, since it's our friendship on the line here.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

The department in question is you, since it's our friendship on the line here.

The Department of Roger Department is known for its inefficiency and apathy.  Reports are routinely circular-filed or rerouted to hapless bureaucrats in other departments who complain bitterly about being saddled with the DoRD's workload, but the department head is too busy making people "REALLY PISSED OFF" by not docilely taking shit off of a crazy person to respond to the complaints of these other departments.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

In short, when you have judged my behavior and my own, and decided whether or not I had grounds to be offended or not, I don't want to fucking hear about it.

You publicly lectured me for daring to not take shit off a lunatic.  I don't see why I should fucking care what your final determination is.

You are behaving very childishly regarding Stella and her comment about Charley's hardships. It's completely plain that you took it very differently than she intended it, but you are digging your heels in AND engaging in a "you shut up first" pissing match, which really doesn't reflect well on either of you. But you are specifically in the wrong regarding her comment, and are insisting that she meant what YOU think she meant, and ignoring not only her clarification but also everyone else who has said that wasn't how they read it.
