The "once upon a time" thing was a dig...he knows it, and he's playing dumb because I called him on it. He can claim otherwise, "Christmas spirit" and whatever the hell else he says, but he did the same thing in the p6453 Merry Christmas thread, mocking the fact that I said "amen". You fellas need to learn how to read between the lines...I don't really mind people trying to get 1-up on me, but at least own it, don't be *****-made.
The fact that you think I'm arguing FOR superclasses pretty much says it all here...I can't make people comprehend things, especially if they can't see it for themselves.
before one reads BETWEEN the lines, it would be a great idea to read the words that are written- before you read the blank spaces in between and invent your own meanings rather than reading a post as meaning what it says
there was no mockery in either place - paranoid much?
in the "amen" thread, I joined in your sentiment and added a paraphrase from the "Grinch that Stole Christmas" - which I thought was very apt since I think Dr Suess actually used the words "what if"....I thought it was cute - maybe I failed or maybe Suess is unfamiliar territory for you.
And in this thread I thought that "once upon a time" was a good way to answer a query that seemed to be interested in the origins of a set of rules....posed on Christmas. Since I have been playing HD since snakes had legs (that means a long time - yes, I am being condescending now) I thought telling the tale with an allusion to the style of a folk tale was funny. I thought it was funny. Reckon you didnt.
But, the paranoid psychology does not handle humor and social cues well. Consider watching the Big Bang Theory and learning social cues along with Sheldon (tv allusion, seeking to be humorous and also to be demeaning but in a way that is more subtle and creative than your approach in which you launch a thread and hurl accusations of bullshit left and right at anyone who comes along and tries to answer a question.
Mockery? it takes so little to mock when someone posts on the forum what amounts to self mockery. Why would anyone seek to mock the colonel - he handles that himself.
See, this IS condescension. Saying amen aint. Saying once upon a time aint.
I dont play dumb. I write what I mean. I try to be helpful and sometimes to be funny. YOU have often been funny on these forums - sometimes seemingly intentionally. But, I do not like being accused of zinging and bullshitting and mockery by someone who clearly just doesnt get it.
There, NOW i have mocked and condescended and demeaned you - which I take it was what you were seeking. You are welcome
I like this very much.
It's clear from reading metsmaxmamwhatever's posts over time that he likes to goof around with words. Sometimes people just like to throw in some color. Once upon a time, snakes had legs, reckon you didn't, etc. Just *try* reading it as someone giving some background to the situation without boring himself in the telling, colonels. You really have to be looking to take offense in order to be offended by this.
Then again, the apostrophe is left out of "ain't", so I take back everything complementary I said about mxamstetmsomething. What a maroon.
