[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4840386, member: 54707"] Somehow I doubt it CG, but it was a nice first try. Don't ya think? [I][B]I mean he was making a real effort.[/B][/I] I suspect though that I get some of what the poster was saying, maybe not all of it. Not sure I agree with all of it assuming I am understanding him right (not that he needs my approval or agreement). To me it sorta struck me as a stream of consciousness set of observations rather than a postulate. But maybe that was what Tigh was doing, just making a set of observations based upon personal opinion. That is allowed on the internet, [I]isn't it?[/I] Just outta curiosity killing the cat. (I don't like cats much anyway, so that's okay by me.) Anywho I'm taking it some folks disagree with what they think he means (or maybe with what he never meant but implied anyway). Or maybe they're disagreeing with that they think I might think about what he probably was thinking whenever he thought about this kinda thing. It's all so disagreeable that now I've lost track of what I was thinking about. But anyway let's not make this about me anymore, if that's okay with everyone else, let's make this about that kinda thinking. Yeah, I've seen that kinda thing before. It's dangerous alright. Thinking of that kind. I wouldn't condone it. Not by a long thought. I've personally never lost any sleep over it, but I can see how you're playing with nitro there. Or maybe sulfuric acid. Either way that stuff is dangerous. Now I'm getting incensed just thinking about it. (And by that I mean not clearly expressing yourself in a manner conducive to agreement.) Yeah, Kren, maybe I'm not approaching this one right. Somehow getting one's blood pressure raised to the level of a cranial hematoma over a series of statements about a game when so many much more important things are going on in the world just strikes me as kinda humorous, now that I think on it. And probably a bit, what's the word, supercilious? I don't know, maybe I mean Guignoled? Well, I gotta go folks. But I'm gonna take Kren's advice and just step off my ledge now. Nice and slow. Before I say something philistine. Hope nobody else is close to a heart attack on this one. Nothin to see here folks. I need my tablets though. On the up side let's just everybody remember, [I]"The sun also rises, the sun also rises..."[/I] By the way this was real fun. I'll probably get spanked by the mods for saying Guignoled, and maybe somebody else will think saying supercilious is kinda pompous, but sometimes being naughty is it's own reward. [/QUOTE]
