lol whatever dude.

My casual observation is that you are one of those people who says something, and that is it's own validation.

The fact that you said it makes it so.

So clearly you would know better than me my state of mind. I mean, I didn't think I was upset, I didn't FEEL upset. I merely kill time by reading the forum so by and large NOTHING here is of any real import otherwise I would view it more than just when I'm bored.

Buuuuut, since you casually observed something you made up, I suppose I'm going to have to get myself all worked up over it, I mean, I'm damn near passing out over here so I've got a lot of work to do but, by god, you know better than me.

It must get tiring being you. Master of all things, never wrong, always knowing everyone better than they do. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

Wow. Not 1, but 8 separate lines. Some more than a sentence long. Of course you're not upset at all. Why, you just let it right go, didn't you. You didn't keep dragging it on and on or anything, did you?

Oh wait...you did. And you still are.

As I said, if what we're perceiving isn't your true thoughts, you should indeed 'change your behavior.' Because the one you're using is betraying your emotions. The fact you refuse to acknowledge in your incessant rantings to me is that I'm not the only one who took your postings to mean you were offended. I'm just the latest one. Scroll back through the thread. Have a look. You're coming off that way to more than just one person.

Hahahahaha, you just have a hardon for numbers I think. Two pages. Eight lines. Hahaha.

I just get a kick out of picturing you counting all this crap.

Added line for effect.

Hell I'm not even going to use paragraphs anymore just to see what it does to you.

I don't really care that you and the OP both think I'm upset (I don't see anyone jumping to your defense lol), that doesn't lend you any more credence. Two people have never been wrong about anything in the history of the world?

Dammit, that was a paragraph!

lol you seem to be missing the point here pal.

"I come here when I'm bored"

Sooooo...I'm here, which means I'm bored. I'm still engaging you. Which means...what?

I know, I'm pissed. But for a second lets pretend like the sky is blue shall we.

MAYBE I just find it IMMENSELY entertaining to watch you count things.

Oh and I got to make a V6 joke, that was pretty fun too.

Hey man, don't let me keep you from...counting things. You go ahead and think I'm pissed lol.

I'm trying like hell to pad this, I'm wondering what happens when you run out of fingers, maybe I should go for 18 lines (by then I figure you will be out of fingers and toes...can you use webbing to count?).

Hahaha, no seriously though, after a less than awesome work week this has been highly amusing. Even moreso because you don't get it.



OMG, I _AM_ pissed!!!

[balthazar]

Oh my god! Did you know you can make someone angry online?

If you scrunch up your browser you can make their post take up a LOT of lines! Which means they will be SUPER pissed.

You're starting to sound like a troll. You jacked my thread and you insulted me, camparing me to a feminazi. Just because I didn't like your use of the word "girl". I am 42 years old, you wouldn't call me a girl or chick if you met me in an office, or on the street. Hag or crone maybe. Yeah, I let what you said bug me. I tried to make amends, but you would have none of that either. Glad you were amused. Now I am. It's not like I wasn't expecting to get flamed for my post anyway. Congrats you're that guy.

Stuntman Mike you have my thanks.

If you want to turn my amusement at his insisting he knows I was upset into something about you, that is your call.

How you can jack a thread that was dying I don't know but ok. And insulted you? By comparing you to a feminazi? If you read what I said I said you COULDN'T get away with that because only a feminazi could. You see there? The implication that you aren't, so you can't?

And I wouldn't have any of that? My last reply to you was "I'm not offended, that would imply I let it bother me". and then I stopped replying to you, so...where exactly was I having none of that?

Which btw aside from saying you didn't realize you were being sexist and you didn't mean to offend, you never really said much about the point I made, which was simple and NOT upset at all.

So if you let the feminazi comment bother you, sorry but you misread it. If you let me saying you were being sexist bother you, then I'm sorry but don't be sexist and people wont point it out.

Either way, aside from "jacking" your half dead thread, I don't know what your problem is, considering the last words between US were amiable.

btw, I refer to the 45 year old that works with me as "a girl at work". I refer to the 57 year old guy I work with as "dude I work with" or "guy I work with".

So, yes, I would... (crone, hag? wtf??? I love how every horrible thing I've done in this thread I haven't done, you or mike have just basically SAID I've done it. This is the point where it starts being annoying, not amusing, so I'm off. Have fun freaking out about nothing. I would have assumed in 42 years of life you would have figured out why dumb people say dumb things but, good news is your thread provided no answers!)

He's not even worth replying to now. He's tipped his hand more than once. For someone who isn't upset or offended, he's sure going all out. That's an awful lot of effort, even for someone who's just "bored."

Anytime. Hell, I'm about as masculinist (anti-feminist) as they come. And even *I* knew what you meant in your first post. Didn't so much as raise an eyebrow.

For the last 3 hours and 27 minutes I've been watching my server batch process a bunch of projects. In ~47 minutes it will be done and I will be kicking off two more hours of batch job, that I have to attend because there is a deadine and if the jobs fail for whatever reason I have to be able to kick them back off pretty fast.

Do NOT underestimate how bored I get...

I do find you highly entertaining though. Especially since seeing as how you've replied every time I have, you must be pretty upset too!

You are doing a little thing called projecting mike. You apply either your feelings or your point of view to me. So if YOU were replying all this time, you'd be pissed. What you need to understand is that I'm not you. As for IROC'd. She started this with a chip on her shoulder, rather than just placate it by making a showing of guys that, see, aren't so bad. I just asked how it was any different for her to ask every guy why they feel a way than it was for a guy to make a blanket statement about a girl. Which went almost completely ignored because what really happened was she felt slighted, so she posted asking that, knowing full well (I would HOPE at 42 she knew) nobody dumb enough to say that would actually make a defense in here. And nobody has aside from a couple tongue in cheek comments it's been mostly the guys who don't think that chiming in.

38 minutes now. I got distracted by an email.

[balthazar]

Oh indeed, indeed, end of the day I don't care what SM thinks. Though I would prefer if the OP understood what I meant since she seems to think I was insulting her.

[Agent Atomic Orange]

Can't we all just hold hands and make fun of Mustangs and Ricers?

[Revo1]

LMAO. That is all

What? No alcohol? Well now I AM pissed!!!





Unnnnn...I drank to much. :(

The reason I am scared of letting my girlfriend drive my 6m is because she has hit just about everything ( inc a human, DOA by the way) but if my father had the same problem I would not let him near it either.

Well I do drive all our camaros that are all manuals. We have 7 on the road right now that are all sticks and I drive all of them. And yes the fun and the adrenline rush is great! My husband tells everyone that all the cars are mine anyway! I think thats his way of being able to keep getting new cars. He just tells me he baught me another one. It makes him happy!
