The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

The hidden cost of COVID that they don't talk about, is how nobody does anything that you used to do while you are out. So when you get back, you now have things 1-2 weeks late. So, these are your monkeys, and this is your circus, but nobody's cleaned the cage in 2 weeks.

Looking around it seemed that pedantic was expressly negative while egghead wasn't necessarily. I need to ponder connotation and if that's what I really meant I guess.

As we repeatedly see, connotation is the word that applies when you use a word that I don't like.
When I use a word that you don't like, you need to suck it up and deal with the underlying argument.


Zeno: The way you run games is very much "Yo mama wears combat boots." You know- YMWCB.

Achilles: What? How dare you! Why would you insult my playing style ... and my mom?

Zeno: Get over it, Achilles. Sheesh. Why are you concentrating on how much your mother sucks, when we should be discussing the real issue of how much your gaming sucks?

If you're the type of person who gets into so many arguments with so many people that you end up on a lot of perma-ignore lists ... if you suddenly show up in the same threads with approximately the same name, getting into the exact same arguments, you will just repeat the cycle.

Something something tiger can't change its stripes, I guess.

Truly, gamers have elevated negging into a fine art.

My brain has automated its own ignore list. As soon as I see some postings my eyes just glaze over and refuse to let me read.

As the first D&D themed pick up artist, I can attest that using this time-proven technique I have a 100% failure rate.

I will report when this changes.

(It will never change)

Isn't it leopard and spots? Never heard tiger and stripes before but I guess it still works or is this one of those regional things?

Don't believe BigLeopard(tm) propaganda.

That whole "can't change its spots" canard .... it's why 99% of murders committed by leopards go unsolved.

That's a skill that I need to develop. Not too long ago I responded to a post and then, when I received notification of a reply said to myself, "Why did you do that?!"

Same here. I rarely use this site's Ignore feature, but I ignore lots of people.

This thread helps, too. Sometimes I'll see a certain name and think "I'd like to respond, but I don't want to hear them rant about That again." So I'll come here and vent-post about pineapple as a pizza topping.
