To the world at large.....
PD I owe you an apology.
I've determined that while I was fully aware I wasn't the sharpest tool here at PD, the concept that I could still hold my own in a discussion was a sad mistake on my part.
I can't and it has become glaringly obvious to me. I must come across as either a complete idiot with the biggest pile of crap for brains ever or an autistic three year old. Either is possible considering the pats on the head and the "oh you just don't get it" comments I keep getting.
So PD, I apologize and will, from this point forward, limit any and all of my comments to things I know about. Food, children and well ummmm, yep that's about it.
So sorry to have wasted your and my time in all my years of comments, rants and other posts before today. It took me a while to realize how stupid I come across but yanno what it's ok. I get it now!
Better late than never right!! :wink:
:? :? :?
I, for one have always appreciated your comments and insight. Your straight forward plain speaking is refreshing to me.

Continually butting heads with one or two posters here doesn't mean you're dumb. It means you have a perspective.
I for one relish such things. If you leave, I will rend garments.

Oh Alphapance, it's not butting heads. Shit like that makes my day. This place has been the depository for my venom thru my whole divorce. I appreciate that more than anyone will ever realize.
It's the figurative condescending pats on the head as if I were
just too stupid to grasp the concept. And, as I said, it's ok. I'm cool with that.
I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to be much nicer. A kinder and gentler Khara. Sweet, southern and stupid... :lulz:

Khara the only way you could cheese us off is by going soft after all this time. Discord means never having to say "I'm sorry", remember? Your stuff's good, and you're less wrong less that most. Keep it up or I'll fill your bathtub with salt cod when you aren't looking.

This thread is seriously about what I said in the OP. I am apologizing and letting everyone know up front that I am fully aware of my stupidity now.

Meh, some of these guys make me feel downright stupid now and then, and I just got here.
Nah, lemme edit. Not stupid. Ignorant. There's a difference.
There are people here who know more shit about more subjects than I'll ever REALLY understand. You know what? That's actually pretty damn cool. Yeah, I'm gonna come off looking like a fool once in awhile for saying something I haven't thought all the way through... but, I'm gonna learn something from it.
And, who knows, maybe the stupid question I ask will point somebody brighter to the answer.

Unauthorized translation to follow;
Sometimes it feels like I am patted on the head and sent back to the kiddie table. I realize that for the most part it isn't intentional, but it still feels incredibly patronizing. I speak plainly and do not have the level of education of many of you, but I still felt I was an intelligent person. Occasionally now I have doubts because of the way my opinion is treated.
This was one of those days when something happened to make me feel stupid and I vented about it. Isn't that allowed?

This. The people I admire the most are those who make me feel
more intelligent when they talk because they're actually teaching me something and not being condescending. It's a skill I know I lack... that and a lack of actual knowledge to impart ;-)
Exactly. I've always seen condescension as a front for feelings of inadequacy and/or ego-bloat.
Want to know why? Well I can't be bothered to explain it to you :wink:

I wanted to know what is going on. Khara decided to play stupid and be snarky towards me instead of giving a real reply.
I don't see any reason to continue this discussion with her. Or indeed anyone else who thinks my reaction is out of order.
I believe Cain was asking about the specific event that caused the OP. I didn't know either, but I just give less of a damn about drama these days so I didn't ask.

I wasn't trying to be snarky in any way towards you. I was dead serious in my original post. I didn't just write it as a game or a joke. If you are offended because I have repeatedly said I was serious about something I was serious about, I'm not really sure what you want me to do or say.
When I have to read some of the things people write here with a freaking dictionary on one tab and wikipedia on another to just get the basics then I truly think it is safe for me to say what I did with no other issues. Even then it seems my researched replies are still not worthy. I'm not going to name names or get into specifics. Whats been said has already been said. If you want further depths of just how stupid I am, I can keep a running list or something?
I did not intend to be condescending to you or anyone. I figured if I let everyone know up front. YES, I AM THAT STUPID. Then it would make things easier for everyone all around. My mistake. The fact that I'm writing this reply at all just adds to my original post.
None of this was in any way from the get go directed towards you or any of the stuff you write. So please don't take offense where none was intended. I've always had a lot of respect for you, so I really don't understand where this anger is comeing from.

I never meant that to be directed towards Cain or anything he said, I meant it for me and what I was saying. Hell I didn't even get the connection until you pointed it out to me.
When I say I was serious y'all...... :oops:
Cain, I sincerely apologize if I offended you, was snarky or condescending to you in any way. I have always had the utmost respect for you and would never act or speak that way towards you. I'm very sorry.
Not having specialized knowledge, education, or vocabulary skills on the same level of some of the people here (or even most of them) is in no way indicative of relative intelligence, Khara. Is it possible some of us (myself included) are condescending asses from time to time? Well, hell yes. We're swimming with the sharks, so when someone is doing an obvious wiki job (I do it, too, no need to be ashamed), then we may be tempted to write it off as being "beneath us". Truth be told, I don't think I'm anywhere near as smart as Cain, or Kai, or Trip, or Roger, or ECH, or LMNO, or Suu, or Jenne... the list goes on. And even the people who I do feel equal to generally know a hell of a lot more than I do about specific things.
And I don't THINK I'm one of the people in question in the OP, but I'm very sorry if I am. I think you are a very intelligent. To even be here for any amount of time requires the intelligence to adapt, and learn. And you've been here for long enough that it should be obvious to anyone you're smart. If I'm ever condescending, it's only because I'm insecure, and I need to validate my pseudo-intellect by picking on the "stoopid n00b*" .
And actually, I'll apologize to everyone if I ever come off that way.
* Person uneducated in topic at hand.
Girl, all I can say is that I've been where you're at right now.
Some of these cats are really, really bright and some of them have read a fuckton of shit that we haven't. That doesn't mean you're stupid and it doesn't mean you don't belong here. On the contrary: it means you damned well DO belong here because:
1. (as LMNO pointed out) you have a different perspective...one not married to lofty, philosophical-baccalaureate ideals, but rather, one more in-line with day-to-day observances. We can always use more people who Get The Grand Joke to bring it down to earth.
AND
2. MOST IMPORTANTLY, you can LEARN from these guys. That's the most fantastic part of this for me and one of the reasons I can't quit this place. There was a time when I felt obliged to try to inject myself into things here and I forced it...and it backfired. I've realized since then that I had it right the first time. I am happily content to keep my mouth shut, my eyes open and absorb as much as I can. And when I do speak up, I feel righteous about it because it comes from a genuine place.
There are always going to be assholes and there's always going to be stupid one-upmanship flame wars on the webbernetz. Everyone gets sucked into the bullshit sometimes. You just gotta roll with it and remember that this whole thing is a fucking joke.
You belong here.

All the better for the rest of us though...elevates the total equation and sometimes you can catch a crumb. Even if you can't exactly

Not me, I only have a 9th grade education.
Doesn't mean you stopped learning after that point.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not constantly fact-checking things. But as you know, the subjects and topics here are pretty far flung, so when it gets into territory I'm unsure of, I fact check myself. I'd do it IRL, if I could.

Ok, let's pump the brakes here. You sound like you're describing yourselves as the remora eels of the PD.com shark tank.
I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS.
I think what she feels is that sometimes, you guys go waaaaaay the fuck out there on some shit you've done or read and that can sometimes be intimidating...or maybe I'm projecting?
Whatev. Everyone brings something to the table. No one is an eel.

I have been informed that the Remora is, in fact, a fish.
To be specific, they hitch a ride attached to sharks, and after a feeding frenzy, detach and pick up the scraps.
The point being, I
don't consider you as Remoras.

After having my main points be ignored over pedantic corrections for over fiver years, I've learned to make sure that all my verifiable facts are, in fact, verified.
I've abandonded hundreds if not thousands of posts because I doublechecked first.
I've done this. It's kind of a bittersweet feeling. Like "Oh shit, I guess I was wrong. Good thing I didn't post that." and "Oh shit, I just learned something new!" at he same time.
Yep. I've learned shit just by double-checking the stupid I was about to post.

Has anybody not been condescended to while on this site? Fuck, someone in this thread apologizing for coming across as stupid has outright told me previously that I was coming across as stupid.
As for the education thing, I have seen nobody throw their education around to the extent that I've seen people throw their lack of education around.
I understand the mindset because I've definitely turned hostile for being treated like an idiot, but just as often I see someone's attempt at honest explanation taken as some greivious insult. Your average PD member has a good head on their shoulders, and regardless of their measured intelligence this puts them on a level pretty far above most people*. Coming together in an environment with people who aren't used to being wrong, people are bound to get bruised egos when, gasp, they're discovered to be fallible.
*Take note, this doesn't mean we don't fall into the same traps. We do, in fact frequently because we assume we can't.
Meh, it's good for an ego to be bruised, occasionally. If you don't prune the bastards back occasionally they get unruly.

Thank you, you have no idea how long it took me to find a vaguely pronographic "not listening" smiley.
But none of us are as smart as DK.
But seriously, I think we all do bring our own thing to the table. I don't think anyone should be intimidated by anyone here despite their wealth of knowledge in a particular area. We ARE still human. We can only know so much at a time. I mean, I have a pretty good knowledge base in areas involving my career and education. So I can blather on and on about all kinds of stats and figures and research in substance abuse, public health, and public policy. But damn, I obviously don't know nearly as much about biology stuff as Kai does. I get pretty lost in the discussions on quantum mechanics. While I'm pretty good with American public policy, I'm not as good with the foreign policy stuff. The stuff around Circuits always gets me lost too.
But when I see Cain or LMNO or Kai or any other spags go off in their areas of expertise, it doesn't make me feel dumb. I admire them for their knowledge base in their areas of expertise. I wish I had more time and capacity to be more learned in those areas, but it just isn't possible for me or any of the rest of us. We all have a piece in this puzzle. And we all have a lot to learn from each other.
I never meant this to be taken this way. I was in no way wanting anyone to "dumb" things down. The OP was in response to a few things that had been said in reply to my posts where I actually thought I was making a fairly intelligent response.
I never wanted anyone to change their wrting styles or to change anything. It was a rant because I was irritated.
Now the whole thing has taken a fucking life of it's own, people are mad at me and that was never my fucking intention.

WTF!!? That's not cheating, that's being POLITE :|
holy shit Charley seriously?? you're not in a one-on-one discussion, but on an INTERNET FORUM, which are one-to-many.
normally in a one-on-one talk, some people might consider fact-checking and peeking in an encyclopedia to see if you're right before opening your mouth as "cheating" (at least, I can imagine some might).
In a one-to-many discussion, NOT making a reasonable effort to fact-check what you say is even correct (which might include using wikipedia or google), is considered WASTING EVERYBODY'S FUCKING TIME.
why?
Well, if you fact-check before you post, it costs you, what? Say 30 seconds to five minutes of your time. Divide that by the size of your audience (say, 50 unique people on PD?), and I'd say that's definitely worth the effort.
Now consider if you just write down whatever you think is right or are not entirely sure but post it anyway without "cheating"/fact-checking. Now the audience has to fact-check for themselves. Congratulations, you just caused others 50 times the effort you would have otherwise spent yourself.
That is why fact-checking before you post is not considered "cheating", but common fucking courtesy.
If you think I'm being condescending now, think again, because I'm not, I'm pissed off. This is not something new or computer/internet related, you also don't need to be smart in order to do it, just not lazy. If somebody is giving a speech IRL to a 50+ audience, you'd expect him to checked his facts before opening his mouth right? You'd be pissed off if you'd find out later he'd been talking to a big audience without at least spending a bit of effort to check what he said is even correct, right?
This is the sort of shit that we slap people on Wicca forums around for. We're supposed to be BETTER than that, not because anybody is really much SMARTER or more educated or whatever (giving Dead Kennedy the benefit of the doubt shows just smartness gets you nowhere), but because if there's one thing we can all sort of agree about in this little island of Discord, it is that using your brain to THINK is a GOOD THING.
BTW one kind of fact-checking that is actually even less effort than using google or wikipedia, is to check the fucking DATE on an article before you link to it. Yet another one of those tiny common courtesy thingies that, you know, would cost you like 5 seconds before posting to prevent 50+ people wasting an enormous amount of time (taking the article seriously, getting upset about it, checking the date, finding out it's more than 5 years old, slapping their foreheads, trying to come up with a nice way to mention this, etc etc).
I'm trying to think. It's not very nice what I wrote here. But honestly, unless I completely misunderstand what you're saying here, I have all the right to be pissed off. Thanks for letting me know though. And if you'd say "hmm good point, never considered that, will try in the future" then we're fine.
Finally, before anyone tries the easy bullshit argument "but YOU don't fact-check always either before you post!!", well that's maybe right. Sometimes (rarely) I don't, but I know I SHOULD. Charley just said because of some warped concept of intellectual honesty, he considers it cheating. I consider it "not wasting other people's time, if I can help it".
You wouldn't believe the amount of junk in my "unposted-posts.txt" I never posted because I didn't get around to wrapping it up.
PEACE

Thanks for letting me know though. And if you'd say "hmm good point, never considered that, will try in the future" then we're fine.
Finally, before anyone tries the easy bullshit argument "but YOU don't fact-check always either before you post!!", well that's maybe right. Sometimes (rarely) I don't, but I know I SHOULD. Charley just said because of some warped concept of intellectual honesty, he considers it cheating. I consider it "not wasting other people's time, if I can help it".
You wouldn't believe the amount of junk in my "unposted-posts.txt" I never posted because I didn't get around to wrapping it up.
PEACE
Get the fuck off my ass and learn to take a fucking joke. Or don't.

Why? you never seem to have a problem jumping on people's ass, regardless of whether you even know what you're fucking talking about?
I'm done being polite. It's obvious that you're just interested in using this forum as a one-way conversation. Also perfectly explains why your stories are brilliant (I mean that) but whenever you (try to) take part in a discussion it's just one UNNNNNG after a facepalm after another.

What was the joke part?
I seriously don't understand. I clearly remember, you were rambling something about the dangers of RFID, I ask about it, you post quotes from articles, and waste everybody's time, because when I check it your sources are over 5 years old ... :| when I point this out to you, and in addition explain where the current state of the art of RFID is at, you get all childish and irritated that I'm being condescending at YOU. I shut up at that moment, but you can be fucking sure I was pissed on the inside for first wasting my time with some dated bullshit and then even having the gall telling me off over it when I correct you.
And then pretty much exactly the same thing happened AGAIN,
and a while later AGAIN,
and then I read this thread.
And suddenly it all becomes clear to me. You're not dumb. You just don't care about having a discussion. You just want to dump your ideas on board, who the heck cares where they land, if they even make sense or check out, and woe to the person that tries to question it.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that attitude. As long as you're writing an autobiography.

Have you ever considered just not reading any of my posts? As badly as this may bruise your apparently massive ego, I have no compulsion nor desire to explain my thought process or my posting style to you. Have fun with your rage.
Going back to me watching porn while browsing PD, I don't have wikipedia open most of the time while browsing PD and when I do, it's usually for something related to another forum I am reading at the same time.

Leave your name, number and 8 digit grid coordinate and a service representative will be with you shortly to violate your orifices.

The picture of navkat's ass makes sense if you actually read the thread. Who knew? I have learned something today. :D With proper context, even asses make sense.

I call shenanigans. Nothing on PD makes sense. It's one of the immutable laws of the universe.
Charley I'm sorry.
I completely flew off the handle, that was entirely uncalled for from my side. My mood's been swinging wildly the past two weeks--off my meds since 2 weeks. moodswings will be temporary, since I'm pretty sure that "Triple Zero au naturel" wasn't such a cunt, last time I checked. For the time being, I need to realize it's also not okay to take it out on people far away over the Internet.
Again, sorry.
And this thread has now come full circle. Thanks for the ride guys.

No problem Trip. Been there myself far more than once, and I am aware my posts annoy you from time to time. I am working on it.
All the same, it was kind of entertaining to watch TripZip go balls out with rage.
