You probably don't intend on being incredibly condescending, but that's how it's coming across. These two members are more than capable of dealing with each other in a respectful and understanding fashion, and no one really needs a third-party declaring themselves the ideal solution to "translating" any prior posts. If someone had a legitimate point, they can clarify it themselves. When you know what you're trying to say, you can say it more than one way.
Thanks always for the help, SD. Being a newbie here, I am still unsure as to the people who are in rank. It's nice and neat that Ace Mercury has "SuperMod" conveniently written under his PDN, but as far as I could tell, A.I. is simply "THE PRESIDENT OF FUN".

And if my deliberately and notedly "very encouraging" pep-talk came across as condescending, life is seriously unfair. :( That's my big beef with communicating through text. For those of us who lack psychoanalytical abilities, tone is completely imperceptible. I had no idea you were being sarcastic. [sarcasm]Isn't that what this is for?[/sarcasm]

I think that there should have been no doubt that my intentions were benign when writing my last post.

Sorry, everybody. Nobody is stupid, I just don't understand yet.

Not a huge deal, I found it irksome but not because of something you intended. FYI, recommend talking to people in private(PMs probably work best) while making as few assumptions as possible. Bee Tee Dubs I just said TLDR to deflate MM, since it's become a point of discussion; I felt he overstepped the line of what kind of conversation I was willing to entertain.



Speaking of which, MM: if you think you understood me and you're not trying to make an argument out of this, now, that's decent enough. That pollution/sky comparison wasn't exactly cracked up, but I think you've got the gist. To make an accurate case of it, I'd really say there's not many decent metaphors that could explain it. I'll try my hand:

At best, I could say it's kind of like you rowed my boat to my house on the island, but it's not my house, not my boat, and I'm not on that island, either. You call me up to say "where the hell are you?" And I tell you that I haven't told you where I live yet and that you've rowed a boat that isn't mine to an island I'm not on to visit a house I'm not in. You then tell me that you would never misremember my house, and you've never stolen my boat. Eyebrows raised, I reply that you can't misremember the house you don't know, and I simply said that you rowed a boat I don't own to the wrong island, not that you stole it. Then you tell me, flabbergasted, that of course you didn't steal it because you wouldn't steal it and how dare I suggest that you stole it, that's not how you sail boats.
I muttered 'light as a board, stiff as a feather' for 2 days straight and now I've ascended, ;aughing at olympus and zeus is crying

It was sort of quickly thrown together anyway. I was in a hurry to show I understood so I could then further explain the psychological issues of mine which had been getting in our way.

More or less it. As I said, a lingering persecution complex from waaay back when was lurking in my brain, causing me to lash out at VGFers (and only VGFers) for little to no reason. Primarily to try and 'even the score' on those ancient arguments, even though many of the people who attacked me then are gone.

That part of my mind was also a troll by nature. Since the easiest way to troll someone is... to create bizarre arguments out of thin air, then proceed to try and win them while the other person is busy being confused and aggravated. But the rest of me had moved on from my early days of trolling anyone who disagreed with me, so it created an annoying mess where that side of me injured people while the normal side of me was confused as to why I was doing that.

Thankfully it is gone now; the mental block it hid behind (Memories of the past VGF arguments) was removed and dismantled. I cannot guarantee that I won't offend someone in the future, but, with any luck, it'll be more in line with the pitfalls I'm accustomed to taking.

Yeah chunky, you monster. You began speaking on topic. Now it's all ruined! Ruined I tell you! Forever!
