One of the reasons I continue threads on various Q & A sites with various people is to give them a chance to demonstrate their acumen (or lack thereof) to other members.
You are starting to be a LEGEND. You know where this is going? JA is SMART enough to stop arguing with YOU?
I am not smart enough to stop. This reeks of something I don't like to smell. Sorry, Tom, this is a bit too much for me to swallow. You are smart. You are not smarter than I am. And you are DEFINITELY NOT smarter than Just Asking. Just ask her. LOL
I have serious issues with both moderators if they attribute incorrect interpretations or motivations to what I say.
If I reply to JA, and she makes no reply, she knows when we simply disagree and that that is unlikely to change and there is neither need nor value in replying. (I occasionally do not reply to a post in a thread for the same reason---there is no point in continuing---and I do not have a negative opinion of someone just because they choose to end the conversation.)
I was exaggerating with the 60 points---it would probably be no more than 59. Seriously, it was just meant to indicate how little I approve of moderation on websites. Do they serve a worthwhile purpose in what must at least occasionally be a thankless job---I'd be hard pressed to say "no," but moderation is philosophically abhorrent to me. When someone insults me---as occasionally happens on other sites---I am usually just amused at the consternation that I must cause to people who think they already know everything.
I can listen to someone for five minutes or read a number of their posts and accurately gauge their intelligence. I have no doubt you are intelligent---and I don't remember you and I ever arguing about anything.
And I'm not too interested in who is the smartest person on here or what the relative ranking of the members might be---I just prefer discourse with people who know how to think as opposed to discourse with people who either can't or do it poorly.
No methane around here---do you have hyperosmia perhaps? lol
Jane and I are not even engaged! You’re safe in your position as my number one woman, at least for now. As soon as I convince Jane S to drop those ridiculous restraining orders, I plan to run off with her somewhere. That’s not likely to happen anytime soon, though . . .
I did, except it’s not a video.. it’s a picture. And I’m not brushing my teeth but I inserted a tooth brush in to the pic. So I didn’t, but I kinda did.
Lol :) I hate backing down from a challenge... it took me a while to figure out how to post a video here without uploading to YouTube... make it a gif..bam! :)
I was trying to find a picture to make a “teeth brushing pic“ I noticed I always have my mouth closed except when I’m wasted... this pic I think was too intoxicated to stand up, let alone brush my teeth lol.
