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

I swear on my life I thought turkeys could fly.

Well, if you kick them hard enough...

There was a time when, after writing one of my thread starters, that someone would immediately write, "WELL, WHAT ABOUT X, HUH? CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT EVEN THINK ABOUT X!!!!!"

And I would just reply, "Well, here's what the OP stated:" and then quote the few sentences of the OP that said: And here's X .....
But while it did produce that momentary feeling of satisfaction, I also realized that inevitably it didn't matter, as the person would just continue arguing. Because what I actually wrote was immaterial to the point that they absolutely had to make.

This is a variation of one of the few things that will get me actively salty: I make a statement, very carefully include a qualification, and then people respond as though the qualification isn't there.

OP/posting construction is a fine art.

OP/posting construction is a fine art.

And like fine art is mostly ignored. We're luck if people respond to the thread title, let alone the OP.

The only problem with that is that thread title construction is also a fine art that is often ignored. Many are the titles I've seen that don't match up to what is in the OP.

Yes and no. Some folks will discuss what they want to, but some titles and OPs are meandering and without proper direction.

If they had a few necromancers folks would lay off big time!

Never under estimate the difficulty rating of dinner.

Bourbon aficionados all know: the only acceptable thing to add to a glass of bourbon is more bourbon.

I am a scotch man myself, but your point is still valid.

Pretty much.

Which is why I buy rye for my Old Fashioneds.
(although bourbon works pretty well too)

Maybe a big ice sphere, if you want some cooling and some gradual melt--barrel-strength stuff especially tends to appreciate that.

I like a big rock of ice in my bourbon too. And sometimes I like a little bitters, simple syrup, and orange peel.

I guess that makes me more of a bourbon enthusiast than an aficionado.

Sometimes I drink bourbon for its own sake, sometimes I drink it as part of a gestalt. Drink what you like, as you like; I don't have the energy to care or judge.
