seems like a double negative.

Given that Noe masks prefaced it as mythology, which itself is just urban legend passed into antiquity, I really don't think fire breeze's purported premise for correcting NoeMasks holds up. More importantly, the only credential offered was a self proclaimed expertise on history, without a single citation to back up any of it.

If you're going to shift into the assholish practice of elitist correctionism, then citations are absolutely needed, or your carefully worded rebuttal is just that, a fabricated argument for the sake of arguing.

What blows my mind is that she accrued not a single "fuck off" from the regulars. No wonder NoeMasks feels singled out.



Is such an apology valid?

I know I offer excuses all the time.
I have a headache from grinding my teeth, for instance.

But when I'm apologizing for being condescending; at least I have the good sense to apologize for it after the fact. When I use the words "I'm sorry," I at least try to make sure I mean it.

lets see... holdon...




RIGHT THERE!

Any time an apology is followed by the word "but" it's NOT a valid apology, it's actually a justification, which makes it a passive aggressive form of attack.

to reiterate what is apparently becoming a catchphrase;
Here's a less passive aggressive form of argument;

GO FUCK YOURSELF.

I would apologize, BUT I don't care to.

By the way expert; you misspelled apologize (among other things). Get a spell checker.

A) Among other words (you quoted it; read it) so... SINGLE? If you're so good at checking, check it yourself. Or just quote it and use the spell checker that's in most browsers.
B) As I already said; the nit picking was only intended to be a gesture towards a return volley of the same ass-hattery already offered. Fire with fire, nothing more.



Bullying & hearsay. Citations needed. If anonymity is valuable, do it without credentials.



An outsider "corrected" and declared that they were not staying for debate. It's NOT a rebuttal, it's an attack. Within a relationship; stonewalling is a well documented form of abuse. Removed from that context, it loses very little of it's offensiveness.



Again, I might have been inclined to debate the points of the post, IF there were any intellectual merits. That it was presented with such a tone negates intellectual merit. Declaring that she was not staying for debate further sabotages any intellectual merit her points may have held.



So you choose to perpetuate the argument and counter attack with reflective redirection. I already conceded that my character is less than sterling. So sure, it should tell you something.



this year? last year?

lets pour gas on the fire by borrowing a still burning line from Stella;

If you're going to make accusations I demand links to my transgressions.



actually I miss your posts a lot.

I find it odd though that *this* is what brought you out of the woodwork. It would very much imply that this childish bickering is exactly what you missed. There has been delightfully little of it this year.

This discussion is not why I returned but your self-aggrandizing piss-antery makes it much less pleasant return than I had hoped for. FB's post was a substantive rebuttal and not an attack. If you choose not to see that, then that's your problem and not hers. To say that you could have rebutted the substance of her post but you're above responding to her because of her tone leads me to call bullshit. I doubt you could rebut her with substance any better than I could out-swim Katie Ledecky.

Frankly, I think this has a whole lot more to do with misogyny than anything substantive.

AV peace effort. squinting. Probably knew I might have to look stern.

Your other half is a very lucky individual.

 

[cascadiabound]

Man, it's like everyone went out and google image searched "laser penis gif" and went all wackadoo.

I told you guys not to do it!

This...
And seriously...I meant it when I said I hope NoeMasks is not too deeply wounded by all this.

(Did you see the fruit and muffin basket I left for you a few days ago???)

I'm still thinking laser cats.
And I'm definitely going to avoid woad for anything.
The range of knowledge that people have around here is super cool.
I love watching where these odd little topics go.


If anyone thinks they need an apology for anything from me~ please advise...I'll try to meet you at least half way.
~smooch~

Sheesh, a girl puts her mug up, makes cookies .....what you got to do around here?

The king of Mars demands to see a return of the cat hat!

Otherwise, you can all thank MastersDelight when Phobos and Deimos smash into your little blue planet ( just HAD to correct me, didn't you!

So glad to see you back.
While Stag went a bit off the deep end on his post perhaps, I suspect he was coming a bit to the defense of NoeMasks after a bunch of posts kinda pissed on his parade. And I would note that he was successful in helping NoeMasks feel not so alone in this thread. Perhaps this is an example of insider outsider behavior? Idk?

In any case...I would also like to say that Fire breeze is a well respected Litster and I would be loath to cast aspersions lightly on her contributions. She is not a regular on this board, but I imagine she is watching this thread. I would guess that a number of us have valuable things to add to the topics of history, mythology, science and health technology. I would also note that experts of good will disagree on many of these topics.

That's all I got.

Ok, looked at the first page of this thread. Made sense. Then this last page... never mind me, just not sure the path here...

Still I love MD's cats with lasers coming out of their paws

My sex weapon is top secret
I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. You know how it is.

This thread is a total clusterfuck.

Is it true there is a new planet? I have not seen the news but I heard there is another earth and it scares me.

Ok, if you want the cat hat.....I'll go find it.....I did say it was better with....

I'm only joking.

Yes, it's named Proxima b,

NB: I am not a historian, so I'm not commenting specifically on anything from NoeMask here.

If you're going to shift into the assholish practice of elitist correctionism, then citations are absolutely needed, or your carefully worded rebuttal is just that, a fabricated argument for the sake of arguing.

ObHitchens: "that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence".

Or, to slightly misquote Alberto Brandolini: "the energy required to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude greater than that required to produce it".

If I'm publishing in a professional forum, hell yeah I will include citations. My latest professional paper has two pages of references; as part of that work I spent a couple of hours hunting down cites for stuff I already knew, some of which is common knowledge in the field, and my editor spent a bit more time tweaking those references to follow house style. That's how the business works.

But it's unrealistic and impractical to require that degree of rigour from every internet discussion. In general the people who actually know stuff are already outnumbered by the ones who think they do. If you want to lay extra burden on the informed folk, that's not actually defending the truth, it's just a polite way of encouraging informed people to fuck off altogether.

Cites are great, WHEN people have the time to provide them. But when they don't, "your claims are contested, here's a counter-claim" is a legitimate response. People who actually want to learn more about which claim is correct can do some research themselves, instead of expecting to be spoon-fed.

By the way expert; you misspelled apologize (among other things). Get a spell checker.

And this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. Most of the people on this thread know that "apologise" is a valid spelling in much of the English-speaking world, but it'd take me longer to dig up a reference than it took for you to type that.

watching me compulsively edit?

Waiting to see if I fold and delete my last three posts?

Hey i'm not clenching my teeth so much today! (that's reserved for a very specific flavor of stress)

It surreal to feel like I'm starting to understand Primalex a little, supposedly he really enjoyed arguing to cope with stress. At least I think that's what Bi-bunny explained once upon a time.

God I miss those people. Yes, even Primalex.

I'm enjoying your brain.

Your character? That's your excuse for this melt down? Your wounded puppy act is unraveling, stag. You mope around the board and make excuses for yourself all day long about why you're shitting in everyone's cereal because you have pain today or you're very sad. People excuse your behavior and even put little s and s when they allow it to happen. And here, you want people to either push you out or beg you to stay?

This isn't your house. You don't need to "defend" this public forum from someone making a post. Nobody here needs your permission to post in this forum.

As for NoeMasks, you deleted your comment before it was quoted, but you still said it. You called FB a bitch and a failed educator. That speaks volumes about your character and I just wanted everyone tuning in to know you did that. And keep holding your friendship for ransom, I'm sure the loyalty votes are going to come pouring in.

You know what I'm thinking? I know exactly who should be getting told to fuck off and go fuck themselves and it's not FB.

Not a single person that expressed liking that post needs to be sorry about.

I'm not sorry about it at all! I loved her post.
All this shit, however, with everyone fighting, sucks ass.
I love you guys, I really do.
