to the people left behind it is

It can be, yes. To the dead, no.

Of course not. I don't think anyone was saying it was though

No, I don't think so either. But to be perfectly honest I posted my comment before I realised how you might interpret it (that is, before I had read the entire thread). Had I read it I wouldn't have posted, most likely.

[Adam]

ok that's cool

And tbh, yes I do think someone dying is "more serious" than someone leaving an internet forum. You don't?

Oh My God.

Nobody ever said that and nobody ever implied that.  An analogy is not ... you know what, fuck it.  I give up.

(I'm the idiot for not realizing you are trolling me.  I deal with trolls all day long, guess I just had my blinders on in here )

We weren't trolling.

Besides, no one asked you to get involved in the first place.  You're not a moderator here.

I don't think he realised he needed to be invited to the discussion, considering how we don't have moderators and all...

She waited almost 1400 posts to throw that one at me.  Personally, I think she jumped the gun because I wasn't even implying how anyone should behave.  I suppose if she ever does find me saying such a thing she could throw it at me again, but it's a weakened accusation now.

Patience is a virtue Bint.  You fucked up the analogy quote as well because you couldn't stop yourself from using it the first time I typed the word "analogy".  You need to wait until I actually leave myself open or you just look foolish and over-eager.

Thought the analogy bit was a good one; using it later would have appeared bitter but done as such, just a funny jab.

we WERE the ones who edited his post

Who is "we"? You and Binty?

Even when I was married, I had an issue with talking as a "we", unless it was something obviously we.
I find it suffocating to think in "we".

This thread is giving me a fucking headache. I don't handle group-thinking well. I can take individuals serious.

But this, somehow feels more suffocating than the 1950's family setting of "De Avonden".

Getting out of this discussion now. I like to be able to breathe.

I have no problem thinking in "we" if it is me and another person, or other people

In that case it is "we" to me, just another word

I say "we" since it's pluralis majestatis and I'm King Lit the bold and

 The Royal "We," then!  The Royal We is BRAVE!

I find it harder. Individual responses I can understand. I have no problem when an individual refers to someone else, telling that he or she agrees. I do have a problem when there is all of a sudden a "we". In a manifesto or so, or a group explanation I get it. It are the things people agreed on, before coming together. Like an action-group could present itself with the things they agreed on and stating that in a "we" shape. But, "we" as a personality to interact with, I have big problems with that, and I always have had that. For me, the individuality is getting lost then. And I don't know who to answer to. It blurs. I lost friends over that, who after they entered a relationship only existed as "we". I just get lost and without breath and headachy.

LOL, Last year, the oldest of mine decided to use the pluralis majestatis and the youngest decided to only talk in the third person about herself.


It became complicated when the youngest wanted to mix those two. Talking about herself in a multiple third person.

[Adam]

oh ok sorry. I just said "we" because iirc me and Bint were fucking around/trolling together at the time. I'm not 100% sure who even edited that pots, although I think it was me.

Hence the "we"

[odeon]

We are not amused.
