Every time I see a thread like this in the menu, I think its going to be "How Discordianism got my groove back"

Well, I did think it was a rather stella thread.

I'm getting the feeling that Yatto/Peleus's awkward use of language is causing him to self-destruct a bit. Which is amusing in a sick kind of way; most people misuse language in a way to make themselves look better.


What I've managed to gather (after 3 goddamn pages) is that the friends of Peleus's wife (Thetis, right?) are advising her to ditch him, and he is obviously upset about this.

We don't know why precisely Thetis is being advised to leave him, but based on the subject he's brought up, we can assume they've cited physical abuse as one reason.

He, in his infinite wisdom, retaliated with the argument that he's only ever been violent twice (I think), and one of those incidents was the result of a bad reaction to his prescribed medication: Thetis apparently clapped her hand over his mouth and, in his altered mental state, reacted by biting her hand. Assuming he's telling the truth, that's still kind of shitty, but it's plausible and not quite as bad as hitting a woman in anger when drunk, or something similar.

We still know nothing about any other violent incident(s), and I certainly wouldn't expect Peleus to fess up to being a wifebeater on the internet. It's not even clear if there WERE other incidents.

Basically, Peleus wrote himself into a pretty bad corner with the ill-advised phrase, "[never] even hit her," which implied that he set the bar for good behavior pretty damn low for himself, but which may have been his response to accusations by Thetis's friends that he cheated on her or was violent towards her. Obviously, due to his amazing ability to completely neglect to provide any context for what he's saying, we could only assume the former.



Right now what I'm mostly pissed about is that it took three pages to get what should have taken one page, at most. Peleus, when treading on emotionally delicate subject matter on the internet, a little tact and some more clear language than what you typically post goes a LONG fucking way. Complete sentences and paragraphs which make no assumptions that the reader already knows or can deduce what you're talking about are the name of the game.



P.S. If Peleus actually does mistreat his wife, though, he's a lowlife twat and I redact any patience or forbearance that I've displayed this post.


P.P.S. Also, it kind of sucks that this rather amusing thread title got wasted on a shitty thread about an unhappy topic. And that it was a reference to another unhappy thread.

You missed one bit: He was reacting to some of PD commenting on the relationship between GS and Suu, and was relating his experiences as a parallel.

Still, it was nice to state the general consensus as it relates to domestic violence.

Ah, right, thanks. Forgot to consider that.


Considering that:

The whole notion of this thread in the first place is an ill-conceived idea, and I think it's best summed up by Dok Howl's first response to the OP. The OP is cryptic and contains no actual information beyond a reference to an old joke, and there's no way a reasonable person on PD could have figured out anything from it other than "Um, was there a point to this other than being in bad taste for the hell of it?"

Does biting during sex count?


Because I do that, too.

Yes.

"Or   " is meanlingless.

Its cryptic in nature since I didn't bother to post anything other then a draft as this was ment as a distraction and I only had short time to type.

That posting style reminds me of when I first got here, ^{dada was here} and posted word salads, I've seen since improve the way I post, as well as having worked with my other half on helping with some of the housework and the way I talk to her
