Damn, what a charmer.

One day, I will do a research paper on what makes people walk into forums for no purpose but to be an utter asshat.

They're scared, got picked last for dodgeball, and want a friend. But too many hits to the head with the dodgeball have convinced them that nothing good comes of acting like a human being. It's braying donkey spraying carrot-flecked spittle in your coffee or GTFO!

I wish they'd just skip to the GTFO part.

Okay so I read that as "Dogeball" Very target, much avoid, so duck  :lulz:

I think we're being a little rough.

Inge is stuck in a narrative.  Specifically, that constant and meaningless confrontation is a sign of strength, that insults and/or snide putdowns are a replacement for civility.

Possible.  Will wait to see if she learns to balance on her hind legs.

Rhombus was totally different, I think. Rhombus was a proto-Social Justice Warrior that couldn't even get THAT right.

Inge isn't nearly as bad.  Just senselessly confrontational, which is merely tedious.

I hope so.  She seems smart in all other ways.

Thy have a misconception of the dynamics on certain internet forums, is my guess, so they approach them like high-school kids thinking that the person who puts on the toughest front will earn the most respect. It's that whole "I'm a badass and I'll take on the baddest motherfucker in your gang to show you" thing.

It's a childish narrative.

If you think we're being a little rough, I'll back off, but I would like to point out that we're only giving her what she demanded.

Yes, it is a childish narrative.  And you are most certainly correct.  However, it can at some point be too late for my current approach, but it is NEVER too late for a bucket of GIGGLES.

I am just trying to look at options, here.  Besides, you ALWAYS get to play good cop.   :lol:

I'm kind of seeing flashbacks to my own behavior, in my early days on PD. But I was like, 16.

After all this time in the company of freaks, I manage to walk on two legs and even still have most of my organs. And I owe it all to the messy balance of patience and verbal ass-beating doled out by this board.

Im just going to be reading now.

Maybe there is a lot of self-evasive reflective reasoning going on.  *dunno*

One thing for sure, though...  no one else here jiggy dances like a lady at a nightclub I once met.

The thing is... do we care?

If you or Nigel or LMNO or Junkenstein or Gohira or Pent were stuck in a narrative, I would have some reason to attempt to try to coax you out... but when this is the way someone presents themself off the bat, who gives a shit to try?  Next.
