--- Quote from: tooki on January 07, 2022, 04:07:29 pm ---It’s so cute how DrG thinks he’s “kicked” ass when in fact all he’s done is proved that he is one! :-DD --- End quote --- I don't mind (I might even enjoy it), if someone wants to technically criticise my (or other peoples) posts. We can have some nice and educational discussions, which is what forums are for. But just to essentially generate a huge wall of text, which seems to be to justify and hide, the eventual swear word(s), they are using against other members. Is NOT good forum etiquette. |

--- Quote from: Simon on January 06, 2022, 07:47:10 pm ---Maybe we just don't feed the troll? --- End quote --- You will get no more trouble from me and I am sorry that he called you and thanks much for being so diplomatic. I especially appreciate the wording; sane folks can see it as they (the axis of evil) are the trolls and they can believe the reverse (the big lie). Just a heads up though, we are going to publish (elsewhere of course) on my theory of fuktardidness. The modelling portion (appendix F: 3.F-3.S) includes three fictional characters; MT14, pooki and Cerebutt: The theory, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this model are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. –just saying |

We can have some nice and educational discussions, which is what forums are for. --- End quote --- I completely agree. It’s not always fun to be get critical feedback or even be proven wrong, but if the feedback is factually correct, then I’ll learn from it, and for that I am grateful. Sometimes, it takes some verbal sparring to get to the root of a problem or solution, but that’s ok too. What I have little patience for is conceited idiots who insist you’re wrong even when you are demonstrably correct, and then flip out and call you names when you show them the proof that you’re right. --- Quote from: MK14 on January 07, 2022, 04:12:37 pm ---But just to essentially generate a huge wall of text, which seems to be to justify and hide, the eventual swear word(s), they are using against other members.

I've just had to finally add someone I otherwise actively like to my ignore list on a certain forum after years of this and years of trying to steer them away from doing that. And in case someone thinks this is an excuse to hurl accusations that it's just me and my bundle of anti-social tendencies, I'll point out that over they years I've been DM'd by many people about the same individual, so this isn't just my reaction to, or opinion of, this individual. It's sad when you have to admit that someone is a lost case and that the discussion will only improve without them. I'd point out that you and I have had our disagreements in the past, but that doesn't stop us having a civilised conversation and giving and accepting useful corrections when they are called for. I will also admit that I might just, perhaps, rarely, poke fun at you when you stand on your professional dignity as a linguist but your saving grace in that regard is that (1) you usually recognise it as merely poking fun, (2) you don't by implication fall back on any professional titles you may have acquired when I do so. As far as the whole American/English thing goes I still maintain it's all because Noah Webster never actually learned to spell. :) Edit: typo s/mater/matter/ - clearly I haven't learned to spell either. |
