I do. That's pretty much the point. If you cannot see that then I suggest you leave alone what you do not understand.
You see, it is dishonesty like this that annoys me. You were not being scarcastic, sardonic, or whatever the hell you wnat to call it! My first response was intended as a freaking test and you failed misearably when you responded with this crap:
Where did I say that everyone was guilty of such behavior? I'm simply attempting to hold up a mirror for those who seem to miss the fact that their actions belie their words; or rather their words belie their words. Certainly I have been guilty of such at times but rarely with the displays of rage and hatred that have been flavoring this forum lately and when addressed I quickly repent. I decided specifically not to mention individuals, as the trend seems broad enough to address publicly; though I did have a few people in mind when I began this thread; if the shoe fits...
Indeed. Take it as a call towards introspection, as it was intended.
You lie. It was not the intent.
Says who; you? I think not. I've participated in this forum for long enough to earn the right to comment upon the trends I see. Not to mention freedom of speech and all that.
When did simple experience entail a right? I am saying you have not earned the right because you are being hypocritical and unable to see yourself in the mirror-- until it was of course pointed out to you.
Where am I calling for the death penalty, thefountainhed? I'm attempting to examine the paradigm at work here, the contrast between what is declared and what is done.
BAH. If you are examing this so called paradigm, then how can you miss a pretty ovious analogy?
I fail to see a problem, perhaps you're unfamiliar with the definition:
repent
1. To feel pain, sorrow, or regret, for what one has done or omitted to do.
2. To change the mind, or the course of conduct, on account of regret or dissatisfaction.
(Webster's Unabridged)
Oh please, quit your annoying pretense. The third definition is this:
3.To make a change for the better as a result of remorse or contrition for one's sins.
And within the context of the thread, and its location, I daresay only the 3rd def matters.
The funny thing is I wasn't thinking of you at all at the time. On several occasions I've addressed specific individuals in the appropriate thread but it seems enough of a trend that I thought I'd comment on it's implications in a broader scope. If you can't find what I'm talking about then say so because it's rather obvious to me and several others who have posted in this thread.
Of course I know you did not have me in mind. Again, you act cowadly and then suggets that your broad generalizations should be accepted; who are these individuals?
I laid the sarcasm on pretty thick at the top but that's just PR. Sometimes you have to tweak a nipple to get a response. So I suppose you might consider that a bit insensitive but as to the rest, sorry, no.
BAH. Your response to my first post told me there was no intended scarcasm.
I do, I've pointed it out.
Irony, perhaps, now you do...hypocrisy, I still sense denial.
You will.
Are you that blind? What of the nature of most responses?
