lol, I make change in the coin tendered. Go back and reread.

Until then, you go on ahead and grab the last word here, because you're not worth my time or attention and I won't be replying to your prodding any more.

Make it good!

Just glad you've finally decided to live up to your own image of yourself. I have a long memory, Trumpy, and you were definitely the one to "start it" in here. Hopefully, you will remember tomorrow what you said here today and leave me alone. Maybe give that advice to your girlfriend too. Thanks.

Ay, holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.

Makes me wonder if there could be an ignore button for threads. NM, I'll just stop checking it.

lol stop. i already tried to explain why it isnt the actual numbers. just 1 subset meeting a specific condition. as in a portion of the actual total number. a portion that is actually supposed to be skewed towards men but is 50-50. i have no doubt that if we were to take the portion that looks at "men working more hours than women" it will be far from 50-50. i predict 80-20 favouring women.

I made it clear that the Times piece was written in 2009's recession/recovery era, when more women had taken to working longer/full-time hours in light of their spouses' layoffs.

Found the article the Times piece was referencing, if you're interested:

Well said. 

From my vantage point, regardless of whether one is willing to admit it or not, most people have probably found themselves in similar situations to the exchange that has been going on in this thread (I can certainly relate to it).  IMO,  it's much easier to be a neutral observer to a conflict and offer feedback and ways to "resolve it" than to be personally involved in a conflict while simultaneously finding ways to bring about resolution (IMO, the latter scenario is an incredibly difficult obstacle to overcome) .

With that said, I think that both parties involved in the above conflict possess the wisdom, humility, and discipline to resolve it if they want to.  IMO, they are both pretty cool people and valued members of this community: I've certainly appreciated the insights that they have given to the forum, and it is my hope that they will continue to do so for as long as they wish.

I never said it was okay. But what about repeating makes it any better? No you did a fine job of that.

Firstly, why am I the only person you’re targeting? Why don’t you chastise your buddies? Secondly, why the fuck is it my job to make it better? I’m not here to do what you think is right. I’m not interested in “being the bigger person” when dealing with random assholes.

1. I'm not targeting anyone . If i see thumb doing what i see you doing i will chide him  . I have not yet . So have not yet . 

2. Why is it not your job to make it better ? And why is it your job to retain the status quo or make it worst ? 

3. To hell with what i think is right . You clearly don't think forum abuse is right or you would not feel the need to retaliate. 

4. Lastly then you doom yourself to a perpetual cycle of that benefits no one . Or worst still you become what you object too

You can see Thump clearly start in on me in this thread. You don’t see it because you just felt like playing benevolent parent to me. Thanks anyway, but I’m quite happy with myself. Whether you or Trumpalump like it doesn’t concern me, Tizzy.

[LastPoet]

Right. It seems I have no autoriteh.

[Amarok]

Sorry shell i have yet to see anything Thump said that was as personal as your comment about his girl friend leaving him. Not for lack of trying mind you. And no i have no desire to be anyone's parent . Sure be you i'm just telling you no benefits from a grudge . And lastly i said nothing about liking or disliking anything .

[Shell B]

Right. It seems I have no autoriteh.

I said to go ahead and warn me. Apparently, that was me being “edgy.”

Tiz, how does you jumping in after Thump said he was done and I said I hoped he was sincere and his gf would follow suit help anything? If anything, you dragged this out for several pages more after it was about to be (hopefully) dropped for good. Moreover, I find it hard to believe you can’t find a. Evidence that Thump “started” this shit and b. Incidents where he commented on my marriage.

I never intended it to too

Technically so have you 

a. Evidence that Thump “started” this shit and 

I only saw and argument not who started it 

b. Incidents where he commented on my marriage.

Nope never seen such a comment .
