Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 4045290" data-attributes="member: 3929">I can type "Ctrl+V" as many times as you like.And repeating that he isn't listening to Slaygrim presumes that what AuldGrump is listening to is wrong; I don't think that your problem with AuldGrump is that he isn't listening, but rather he's paying attention to stuff you've dismissed. He is listening; he's just hearing something different than you are. Naturally, that must mean he's wrong. Must it?The only way for it to be ironic is for AuldGrump to be "not listening". He has directly responded to Slaygrim and other posters several times, utilizing the same quote-comment software we are. He's reading, listening, hearing, whatever you call it. So the only way for him to be "not listening" as you say is for him to be hearing it wrong. Unclearly comprehending something is a nice way to say "hearing it wrong", don't you think?Besides, it made me look cute.*Shrug*To do something you advise others against is hypocritical. To refuse to change your actions when presented with a reason to do so is to be obdurate. I don't think I've ever been complimented by being called an obdurate hypocrite.Precisely: taken at face value.And if it's not taken at face value, what then?This world would be damned to perdition were our past actions judged in comparison to our ideal. It's even worse when the only evidence for your actions is second-hand from the plaintiff. I don't think that's a terribly productive way to sort out the past, even if it provides a good direction to our future.Someone present for the discussion shouldn't need others to defend him: he's there to answer questions on his own.Many times posters who are not completely sympathetic to Slaygrim said that they don't condone whining as a response, but that the whiner may have some reason to take issue; TheAuldGrump included. Me too. We're ideal respondents?DestroyYouAlot, whom I doubt is the Whiner, said it was dumb to give someone absent the benefit of the doubt. TheAuldGrump responds to Slaygrim's posts and you're telling him he doesn't listen. Both are rather dismissive.Again, you describe many of the posts by un-Slaygrim-sympathetic posters.Maybe you're right. Maybe it's just bad adventure design.Hey, happy to expand your horizons. And the horizons of the Oxford English Dictionary, while I'm at it. Can't be too ambitious. Care to subscribe to my newsletter?</blockquote>
