Gloating? It's simply one of those human reactions that you pretend like you never do?
Right.
See how you gloat over your belief that nothing I say could ever possibly go over your head? You create cute little word pictures that you hope will distract from what you're really doing. You're getting a big angry, aren't you? Oh, don't worry, I know, for a fact, you would never admit to my getting your dander up.

You simply aren't smart enough to get anyone's dander up! Just keep on throwing sand at the world.

It's quite easy to put down fools. They ask for it. They literally beg for it. They deserve it. And, I think it does them good in the long run....much better than letting them continue on their merry way making foolish comments like you just did.
You're such a fool, that you don't even realize your words in yellow pertain to you, not me.
You notice, don't you, that you jumped right in there and started calling me names? And you don't think you're going to reap what you sow? Really? :think:

That's so...brave of you.
I have more fun showing everyone your bottom.
For instance, your Gazette.
Where you read my words in yellow above, and question my bravery, and don't manage to see yourself. :think:
My thoughts exactly.

Oh, so you just go around calling people slime trails and such when you're calm? What in God's name do you call them when you're upset? :shocked:

I understand. There are certain criteria for people, even within the professing body of Christ, who Paul says we are to have nothing to do with. I include communicating with and even reading what they say in that instruction.

For the first time since I've been here, I very recently put a couple of people on ignore for a short time then took them off ignore. So now there are 0.

Not about the heat of debate.
How often did you find yourself trying to reason with, say, Meshak, Tet, Tracerbullet or God's Word, as just a few of many examples? How'd that go?

Yup, among others.
I get satisfaction from a good argument, from a win in court or the feeling that I've answered as well as I can. I don't get satisfaction from loss for anyone, including an opponent. Never have. When I was a kid playing Risk my best friend said I probably doubled the length of any game because I drew it out. I loved the contest. I get no pleasure from anyone leaving it feeling as though something important has been taken from them. I don't get gloating. That's why you never saw me doing a public jig every time Sod was banned. It's no real victory for anyone when that happens.
You think that's gloating?
lain: Look, you were so literal in interpretation so many times I literally thought you had Aspergers.So the faculty you once heaped praise upon can only be approached through some sort of diminishment now. Okay. If it makes you happy.
No. You just like to keep saying that for some reason. I'm smiling now. I was just thanking Rusha and AMR for their friendship and thinking about the blessings of my life...in retrospect, I wish we'd never argued. I'm going to miss who I thought you were. Maybe you'll feel the same. Maybe not. But I don't know what there is to be angry about...plenty here to be sorry over, one way or the other.
Hold onto your garters, but I get upset in an argument when I'm having it with a friend over something personal. I try to avoid it if possible. I hate arguing with friends. Most of them lack training to keep the personal out of it and when a friend gets genuinely upset it is upsetting to me too.Oh, don't worry, I know, for a fact, you would never admit to my getting your dander up.
I've been lucky to have a life long friend who can go tooth and nail without actually doubting my character or intent and people will read us going at it and worry that we're on the verge of irreconcilable hostility, but then we conclude and laugh and the consensus is we're just crazy.
So if it helps I'll admit that for a while I was upset, watching what was happening to us, to what I'd thought about us going in. Sure. Upset with both of us and about the thing I couldn't salvage without conceding something more important than our feelings. So if that's important to you, you win.

You haven't seen me doing that, either. Even when it was PJ who so clearly deserved it. No, you don't get gloating, but you were quick to think I was actually gloating because I made a joke using the word. You missed the joke and thought the worst.....
You think that's gloating?
Nice try, but I'm not buying it. You can shout it with righteous indignation 'til you're blue in the face, and I'll laugh every single time. I wasn't born yesterday. I take the Bible very literally, as do lots of people. Do you accuse them of having Aspergers, too, or only those who straighten you out on your interpretation?
I have liked many of your responses, in the past, but I certainly wouldn't say I "heaped praise" on you. I felt sorry for you, Town, because you claimed you were being targeted by Res, and I believed you. Now that I see who is really doing the targeting on this forum, I'm not so naïve as to believe everyone who makes that claim.
And, I tried approaching you with a bit of humor even after we had disagreed on the rape thread, but you took it as my being too stupid to get what you'd said. So I doubled down on my joke and you got even more upset. You chose to see me as the ogre that joined hands with Res, rather than see what I'd said as it was meant.
I didn't say you were so upset and angry you couldn't see straight. I said you were angry and it showed. Now I see where you admit at least this much, "I'll admit that for a while I was upset."
Would that be like the "training" you think you have to keep the personal out of it? Do I need to go back and bring up the many back handed personal smacks you tried to give me? Do you think I'm too literal to have seen them?

Cool, my life long friends know me well enough that we can do the same. That really has nothing to do with taking things personally on an internet forum.
I'm not the one who needs the help here, Town. I haven't taken what you have said personally in the least. And saying if it's important to me I win is about as lame as it gets. It isn't important to me and winning? What in the world is there to win? :kookoo:
I told you early on that this did not have to go there. But, apparently, the fact that I said you were talking like a humanist was more than you could handle. You got upset, and you tried to retaliate. You can't really retaliate against someone who doesn't take what you're saying personally. It simply doesn't have the zing you hope it will. As I said, just let it go. I'm not really confident that you can do that, especially with the mob mentality that goes on here with Rusha and Bybee continually stirring the pot. But, that's up to you.
That's so...brave of you.
Braver than someone who has to hide behind the ignore feature...
