Thanks for taking the time to reply.
you:
Be honest, you are embarrassed.
me:
Nope, I'm 44, and the worst kidder of them all. I'm the net admin at a large corporation, where on a regular basis my users get e-mails like "Please move this icon to your desk and double click as soon as possible". That one flipped thier screens upsidedown... Another one told them they had just destroyed the main server... I'm having to get sneakier and sneakier. Buggers don't trust me anymore.
I would be embarrased had you left any clues within your message that it was fake, but you wrote it straight. I can't be embarrased for believing there is another moron in the world (I'm not calling you a moron, I'm saying it's easy to think, "Oh, here's another idiot who knows nothing spouting off as if he does". If you had left clues, I would have thought it clever and enjoyed it.
you:
I also have a good heart.
me:
Okay.
A reminder that everyone thinks they do for the most part, just like everyone always thinks they are right, for the most part. (Why would anyone think something that they thought was wrong)
You certainly get points for a thoughtful reply, and I'll assume the best on the motivation (the problem being everyone wants to look good).
You:
Who are you to question my judgement and who did I scare? If anything I was giving caution.
me:
Who are you to say moronic things on a forum when a guy flat out tells you he is scared. If that doesn't trigger any thoughts of caution in you man, I can't help you.
Caution is truth (what you said was no truth at all, so no caution at all).
True truth can cause fear, but you lied, without a hint you were kidding, except by way of guys who know you are a kidder. That isn't truth, and has no reason for that guy except to cause fear, and for the rest of us who don't know you, you took a chance and wasted our time.
Next time leave some clever hints you are joking, then you can sit back and mock and say you pulled one over, and I'll laugh my ass off at being took fair and square.
Then I might be embarrased.
I think I'm more aggravated you are acting as though we should have known, when there wasn't any way to know, unless I had known YOU previously.
you:
No one got hurt, I don't love anyone here(ok maybe a couple of you guys), and I don't blame your buddy for giving you a black eye, your incessant babble probably provoked him.
me:
Ah, ad-hominem... nice.
(gloves coming off temporarily)
Can't take the heat when someone calls you on it? Huh...
Resorting to personal insults... like the one where you say no one has any sense here (except the one guy), WHEN IN FACT... everyone was responding to your posts, taking you seriously... because you didn't have the creativity of a door knob, to give out hints that you were just messing around!
gosh, I pulled a good one, Billy joe bob, I dun tol that guy PA would shoot him if he came back. An he din't even know PA was dead! HA HA HA...
(gloves back on)
There, now you know if you bitch about my incessent babbling, you get more of the same. Now go lay by your dish.
you:
My motivation was to make a funny.
I get a plethora of respect here and consequently return it simultaneously.
me:
Okay, I'll take your word on it. No one seems to be arguing with you.
You know, I've found in life that I can like or dislike almost anyone. It's up to me, not them. When I found out how lousy a driver my wife was, I was shocked. I thought all nice people cared enough about others to use their blinkers and obey the law in general. She's the sweetest person I know, but completely oblivious to her bad driving.
Faults and foibles we are all full of. See your remark about my babbling.
I have time, and like to talk, can your testosterone levels handle it? My temper and patience get a bit short going to 750 of test a week. I'm on full dose now, so don't piss me off, I can type 90 wpm.
you:
No need to wait, I will tell you now that I am "an okay guy" and there might be a few here to vouch.
me:
A few already did, by their laughter. My bet is a few silent ones were aggravated. But that's okay, stirring the pot.
you:
I'm not the one crying, who can't take the heat? I don't recall insulting anyone, I was however on the recieving end of a couple slanderous remarks from yourself. I don't have a bad attitude towards you, I can appreciate your zeal no matter how asinine.
me:
(oh geez, gloves off again)
Crying... huh... I thought it was more like dressing down a moron for being a dick, disrespectful and unthoughtful to others...
But I can see why you would want to call it crying... that's what everyone does nowdays, renames a thing and imagines that somehow changes things. That rose doesn't smell good anymore cause I just called it a forklift. Hey, honey, I got you a dozen forklifts...
I prefer to think of it as having the guts to put myself out there in front of a guy who acted like an ass by the things he said AFTER he pulled the joke. The joke was bad enough without insulting everyone else after... you only get to do that when you put CLUES in man, you gotta be creative. It's no fun just to lie, you got to THINK.
I'm only bitching now because you complained of my slanderous remark.
IF you were paying attention, they followed and were prompted by YOUR slanderous remark...
To which I gave the same excuse of deniability you offered, visa vi, "I was just fucking around".
Therefore, you expect others to take it, but won't take it yourself... I find that on the edge of hypocritical, however I did set the trap, knowing human nature. You just fell for it.
I guess I win, mine was more creative. Trapped you with your own words.
(just having fun in this post by the way, nothing truly insulting meant)
In all honesty I just enjoy words and wordplay, and fucking around with people. I just do it better than most (likely only because I take the time).
my previous statement:
If you knew my heart, I could simply have said:
Hey, your lonely, small minded, and immature, seeking attention any way you can get it... you are 9 years old...
You said:
And if you knew my heart those words would be fallacious.
me:
Hey, probably true. Words on a page suck, especially when you are trying to get to know someone. Like I said, I know I can like or dislike anyone by choice. It's just a matter of whether or not I choose to overlook the things I see as their faults. Ironically my main fault is probably in judging anyone for anything.
In this case I just wanted to push you back a little to see what you were made of. That's how I get to know people.
In Jr. High we had a bully, Jeff Becker. He was a terror with a wet towel in the locker room. Had to hide your nards... If you snapped him back, he became a brute. He was an asshole. My buddy, he smacked me one, so I smacked him back. We laughed. He's a good guy.
You bothered to respond, rather than take the easy insulting road. So hey, I figure you are probably okay, and need to point out that I don't take my opinions very seriously anyway, even if I thought you were a jackass. This is my daily entertainment, and apparently some of the troops are likewise being amused, so why not.
you:
Don't be so confident, I can be deceptive. Advice, if you don't like spiders don't open a thread that says sexy pic.
I have no hard feelings, and I hope you can say the same, I guess I don't have the passion that you have for refuting death by air bubbles.
me:
Oh, I would be disappointed if you didn't try to pull one over on me now. I'd feel left out.
I'm slightly psychotic about truth. Lifelong problem... sick and tired of seeing all the lies, and don't want others to suffer for years believing the ones I believed.
Take training, for instance. If Mike Mentzer wasn't dead already, I'd want to kill him myself. The asshole wasted years of my life making me think HIT was the one and only way. I thought I was a hard gainer.
So if you want to get me going, spout off some shit... but next time, PLEASE put in some hints so I can have that 'shit, he just pulled the wool over my eyes' feeling, and not the 'bastard just flat out lied' feeling.
Actually either would work now that I know a little of what your about.
And with that, I believe we just wore this subject and thread, bare.
