It was the Pancake People from BB1 in Table Talk who used to run screaming through the various threads, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What Connie said made me think again that I shouldn't say, "I was going to say and didn't that..."

I mean, there's a reason I didn't say it in the first place, mostly, right?

Um, yeah.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well lah dee dah smartee pants Jesse.

You know what else wasn't obvious to me until today? People don't like it when I throw feces at them. It was a total revelation.

Signed,

I'm so smart, sometimes I scare myself. I can see where it might make others uncomfortable, and will try to be more sensitive in the future.

Come sit by me, Jesse. I'll teach you in the way of making enemies and alienating people.

Firstly, don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, unless you love them, in which case, they should put up with your shit just because you're entertaining.

Secondly, anyone who is offended by what you say is obviously a jackass. Anyone who offends you is obviously a jackass.

Thirdly, if someone gets in your face at a bar, no matter how big they are, take a swing and make sure it lands. Even if they kick your ass in the end, everyone else in the neighborhood will think you're pretty ballsy and you'll keep your cred.

First of all I should never have said Allyson was looking for a free swipe at Sean. Obviously she wasn't. I was trying to show how the fact that people were defending Sean isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I turned my argument into a quasi-personal attack, and that was wronger than a wrong thing. I'm truly sorry.

Wolfram, I am personally okay with the pigpile, but given that others think it's a wrong thing, and will comment on "not pigpiling on so and so" I'm wondering why it's okay to pigpile on me. Pigpiling is another word for consensus, in my mind. "We all consense that you are being a dick, Al."

Ah. It's not okay to pigpile on you. Or anyone. And I'm sorry if it happened or even if you just felt like it did. And I'm sorry if I added to that feeling.

And I meant no offense with that non-ass smoke blowing comment. In fact, it was sort of meant as a compliment. If it didn't come across that way, then I'm sorry.

No Wolfram, I'm so not offended at all. I completely hear you. I also respect you.

ETA: Jesse, I'm not feeling a sense of validation from you. You're making my posting experience less than breezy.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Don't speak in generalizations. Some around here have certain... fetishes. Or is that just non-Buffistas on my LJ?

Firstly, don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, unless you love them, in which case, they should put up with your shit just because you're entertaining.

Works for me.

Thirdly, if someone gets in your face at a bar, no matter how big they are, take a swing and make sure it lands. Even if they kick your ass in the end, everyone else in the neighborhood will think you're pretty ballsy and you'll keep your cred.

This is the truest statement ever uttered on this board.

Ah. It's not okay to pigpile on you. Or anyone.

I would like to point out that, when there are only two sides of an issue, and something like a gazillion posters, almost any heated discussion will resemble a pigpile.
