Theory of Mind thread

[maldoror]

Calandale is a man full of contradictions, by which I mean he contradicts people a lot. Which is awesome... there's nothing more boring than a bunch of people agreeing with each other all the time. But people are all reactionary and it can only make one controversial and not popular. Also, I know I'm about to be contradicted.

How's that for a theory of mind?

astonishing how some people seem to think their opinion matters to me, isn't it? 

Not really. Most people DO care about others opinions.

if you're going to snipe at me/be spiteful/try and goad me, people, do try and remember one thing: the person you're aiming it at has to give a fuck about what you think, okay?

What if we're just trying to hold
a discussion, and you happen to
come up? In this case, I was trying
to explain to OTHERS (as I know you're
beyond hope) my take on your 'debate'
style.

Lucifer has used this debate tactic several times now, she's almost sounding like a broken record.

So, because people's opinions of her do not matter to her, we should just throw out and ignore her thoughts and opinions on topics?

I would point out that this current lucifer-hunt started when hadron, rather than respond to her claims, attacked her instead.  So why are some jumping on her for disregarding the attack as unimportant?

quite.  but now's scrap's joined in, so the gang's all here.  huzzah!  well, there is another voice i might  expect to pipe up with more of the same old same old.  but i shan't hold my breath, as i'm sure there's some wet paint somewhere i could watch drying, in preference to taking any notice of this tired old triteness.

If I had a nickel for every time Lucifer says something along the lines of "I can't be arsed" and then goes on to reply to the said post, I'd have enough money to buy an island.

Did I say that? I just find that her method of
'debate' is bs. She has many valid things to say.
It's just that when she jumps into some discussion,
with a "I don't give a shit, and this is stupid" attitude,
one should be aware that this is her SOP for trying to
derail conversation on something.

So why are some jumping on her for disregarding the attack as unimportant?

Heh. Well, this is my own fault for not looking
back on this issue, and being too lazy to bother.
 

Look, maybe in this case, she's just been being attacked
without making any attempt to defend herself. That's fine.
I get sick of seeing her jump into debates, and then claim
that she doesn't care. I guess that's the only point I'm making.

And no, lucifer, I know that you don't care about my opinion,
or perhaps anyone else's. And I don't really care about THAT.

I NEVER contradict anyone.

Which is awesome...

No. It sucks.

there's nothing more boring than a bunch of people agreeing with each other all the time.

What about people rehashing the same
old arguments?

But people are all reactionary and it can only make one controversial and not popular.

Luckily, everyone loves me. They just don't know it.

Also, I know I'm about to be contradicted.

No you're not.

How's that for a theory of mind?

Poifect.

[Lucifer]

actually:

I would point out that this current witch-hunt started when hadron, rather than respond to her claims, attacked her instead.

Found it funnier quoted but not bolded? 


Or just keep spewing the same thing?

Given the big whine that you had when Calandale gheyed you on the hour, I would say that you do care. Regardless what you say.

Regardless of what you think, I never did that.
I was probably hitting her fairly often (a matter
of seeing this kind of argument being conducted),
but I don't have the discipline (nor the inclination)
to be that way.

True, the word she used was being repeatedly gheyed, but she spent half a thread complaining about it.

[Calandale]

Ah, and if people complain about being
gheyed, I almost instinctively ghey them.
So, if I kept running into THAT, she'd get
hit pretty often.

Its probably Ahayes anyway. Who gives a fuck??

The joys of being karma-free... 

[Calandale]

I'm hoping that I can manage to pass
ahayes.
