[quote name="Ray of Light"][quote name="Zseni"]It's not so much that your complaints fall on deaf ears as that they resonate with previous complaints to generate a feeling of embarassed disgust at ever having listened to you at all, for any reason. [/quote]That your behavior merits my (defensible, resonating) attentions SHOULD be embarrassing. The disgust you feel is cognitive dissonance: you wish to deny some truth about yourself, then hear it from a trusted source and cannot. [quote]I mean, on an almost daily basis you are shouldering the heavy burden of telling Caltrops' happiest posters[/quote]Where do you get this stuff? I understand why the "Caltrops' happiest posters" title lay unclaimed, but why on earth did <i>you</i> grab it? Is "Caltrops' Sexiest Poster" still available? JINGLE! Caltrops' Happiest Posters. Caltrops' Happiest Posters. Zseni and INC. We're Caltrops' Happiest Posters. [quote] what a dreadful job they are doing at entertaining you, and I have to tell you, Ray, you've picked an extremely difficult market and I respect that.[/quote]All progress depends on the unreasonable man, ya know. Maybe it would be easier for me to lower my expectations, as you suggest, and smile every time INC turns a trick but, unlike you, I refuse to give up on him so quickly. [quote]But to be constantly knocking at my door, or INC's, when you haven't assed yourself in the last 3 years to take BDR aside and suggest his attachment to the forums might be unhealthy or slapped Pieter for wasting everyone's time (in your own uniquely patronizing and self-important way) casts a long black shadow over your judgment. [/quote] Cute. I'm going to answer the question you meant to ask, "what do BDR and Pieter have that INC and Zseni do not?" What they "have" is the absence of a gross need for ... something, a need that's consuming them whole and manifesting itself in a thousand harmful ways, including an unfocused belligerence that stains their every written thought. Oh, and that long black shadow is cast by something else entirely. [quote]My advice to you is to get a new posting schtick.[/quote]Honesty, insight, detachment, humility. These are my schticks for LIVING, baby, and I abandon them for nobody. You and INC would profit from my "All-natural" approach to posting and living. Ray![/quote]
