Two can play the blame game. Regardless, I had this opinion of you prior to that thread. In truth, I also had the opinion, therein expressed, that you are an idiot. It was my initial impression of you when you first arrived at AF. Indeed, your response here in this thread to me only underscores my point.
Yeah, you are a dipshit. Then and now. It was pretty evident when you started responding to my post as if it was personally addressing you (sorry, you're not that special) even though it clearly was not aimed at any specific person here (nor any specific religion that you identify with, which you also failed to note in your density).
Beg to differ. Rasetsu is no dipshit. However if you rub her the wrong way she will sometimes hit you with both barrels. If you can handle that you might find someone with some very interesting perspectives and ideas you can really learn from.
She will first help you learn that not everyone operates by the same niceties as perhaps you were taught. If you don't want to handle that, that's fine too. But if you insist on telling her what your expectations are for interpersonal niceties, she'll just keep ripping you a new one.
As to responding as if your post was addressed to her, aren't we all entitled to do that? Even the person who starts a thread has no say regarding who may respond. No one is that special.
PS: Pickup, I personally find you charming and interesting. (We may have attended the same charm school.) However, my wife had already shown me through her own example that people with different social styles can teach you a lot about the constraints imposed by those social niceties, and that the only reason yours feel right is that they're yours. We're not really all that.
