arguments instead of 1 single word d be nice

And this has what to do with the topic at hand?

As I told you in another thread today, drop the personal attacks. If you care to discuss the topic at hand please do so.

Kenny. Please. I never even mentioned the 'silly word' (and you could try not bringing up your own opinions about it with every opportunity).

I did not say anything in that thread, because I did not want to derail it. Its subject had absolutely nothing to do with the word, and answering to personal attacks would do no one who wanted to seriously discuss the thread's subject any favours.

Here, however, we are giving our feedback about the behaviour in the liseuse thread, so I believe it's relevant.

If you don't think it's relevant, fine. But continually stating your own objections about that doesn't help this thread either.

I think we would all do well to remember one important thing...

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

LOL, there's actually a statue of her throwing the hat in front of Macy's (it was Donaldson's back then) here in Minneapolis.

I cannot even remember what we were fighting over anymore, AnemicOak. Can you?

Fight? What fight?

happy_terd · 06-23-2010, 11:59 PM

See what I mean.

Although rather then get rewarded for creating peace and resolving the issue we will both most likely get yelled at for speaking off topic.
----------

So to get us back on topic with the argument at hand let me just say...

"You jerk."

Donnageddon · 06-24-2010, 12:03 AM

Now now, calm down you two hot heads, lets just set a spell and whistle a happy tune.

happy_terd · 06-24-2010, 12:06 AM

Hey!!!

You are off topic unless you argue.

Donnageddon · 06-24-2010, 12:15 AM

Heck, happy_terd, if loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

This gets so tiresome, and I think someone is going to have to explain how it works. This is how it looks:

Person A behaves like a twat. Person B points out that person A is behaving like a twat. Person A then tells person B to drop the personal attack - apparently pointing out to person A that they are behaving like a twat is a personal attack and not acceptable, but behaving like a twat is some kind of expression of freedom or something and so is OK?

That can't be right can it?

One hopes "twat" means something different to you, than others ....
