Rage Quitting Again...
#41
RE: Rage Quitting Again...
The truth is EP, i will forgive everyone. Forget? *laughs* not a chance bud. But I will forgive. I am a strong believer in the MLK Jr. Quote; "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that."

However, if you break the grounds on which you preset as reasoning for asking of this forgiveness, which is in short what youre doing, consider this "forgiveness" it seems you cherish and desire so much, to be broken and meaningless as result.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

Not everyone can do that. Staff aren't allowed (and vice-versa).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why do you want to be nice? After all this is just an internet forum. Just one of all the thousands and thousands of the others. You don't know the people in this forum and they don't know you. There is no social obligation. Why try?

But the fact that you care enough to try and be nice shows that you do indeed care about your online life, maybe you just need to get a life. You know, like a real life. Make some friends? How many friends do you have? Like in RL? Or is that too personal of a question?

We can reach an agreement though. If you or any of your colleagues wish to get around this, just tell me and I'll stop all unofficial conversations with you.




Do you want that, Stimbo?

Now you want an official ruling to not be an arsehole?

I'm aware, I have been moderator and admin on forums myself but that's your job. Unfortunately you have to tolerate assholes until they break rules, obviously.

I don't. It was supposed to be an experiment. If I get a few more yeses, I'll be nice for a month and that's that.

It's not that it's personal so much as it's a bullshit question which I don't have time to explain why no one could answer to your satisfaction, since it's not meant as an inquiry, but rather as an attack disguised as one. In other words, you're presuming, and with an unbelievable arrogance. I'm not fazed.

Are you avoiding the question or what?

Yeah, ok. I'll take that as a no.

Oh I forgot, sometimes you're dishonest and an asshole. I don't need this manipulative condescending bullshit to "improve" me, you are not my superior and in fact you seem far less capable of honest discussion and far inferior in social skills. You clearly need to be more honest about your beliefs and be better at dealing with people if you are to improve your discussion abilities here.

Quote: I'll be more than happy to continue that conversation when you're ready, since you clearly missed the whole point.

I've never not been ready but you've admitting enough times that you're insincere and dishonest, and you've also demonstrably been an asshole on multiple, repeated, frequent occasions.

You're not ready to continue 'our conversation' (if it can even be called that when you constantly misunderstand and talk past me, which is kind of your own fault considering your insincere condescending motives for 'my own good') until you quit with the dishonest motives and trying to manipulative people like you know what's good for them, and until you stop resorting to ad-hominems and going on irrational rants. Learn to be mature enough and sincere enough to discuss without being a dishonest condescending asshole, and then do that consistently and we can continue our 'conversation'.

Quote: It's not about my narcissism, it's about your intellectual development.
What about your intellectual development, and your social development? The fact you think it's about my intellectual development but not yours demonstrates your narcissism. You have no evidence that you are smarter than me, but you're demonstrably socially inferior. What about your social development?

I'm socially inept myself and there are far better people to learn social skills from than myself, but I'm no excitedpenguin, your social 'skills' are a trainwreck (and not in a sexy way).

Quote: I'll be much happier if I can make you even a little bit smarter than you are right now, which is not that smart at all, as far as skeptics(should) go.

You can educate someone but you can't make someone smarter, I've always had the intellectual potential in me that I have, there are some things dumb people will never be capable of comprehending, there are some things that will always be beyond some people's intellectual potential. My intellectual potential is above average and it can neither increase nor decrease and nor can anyone elses.

You can increase my education and help me understand, but what I am capable of understanding ultimately and potentially will always be the same. You can't 'make me smarter', you can't make anyone smarter. It doesn't work like that, don't conflate intellect and education.

Besides, I don't think you're smarter than me. I find you very umimpressive compared to many here.

"Not that smart at all", I disagree. I think I'm pretty intelligent... it is education that I lack.

You could well be more educated than me but you're still an insincere asshole with even worse social skills than myself (mine are kind of average or slightly below I think, but I know how to not be a total asshole, I'm certainly not anti-social, just rather inept sometimes): I would not say there's one shred of evidence that you're smarter than me. Where would you find the evidence that you're potentially capable of comprehending things that I am not? Who is to say that your potential intellectual bar is raised higher than mine from the outset?

It's really kind of depressing if you genuinely think that that's the way it has to be. Is it really so hard to be honest and nice? Can't you say things you really believe without being a dick about it? Are you really that incapable of that?

That's just something I told you to make you understand something you were clearly confused about.

"It's not about my narcissism, it's about your intellectual development."  FFS  ROFLOL

Stop wanking into your curtains and get out more, it'll help.
