Just one quick bitch, part two

[Calavera]

Oh, ok ... I had no idea. I didn't notice that I called your attention to my post.

OK, my bitch for today.

Why do people misunderstand what people are saying so readily and why do people refuse to accept that their point of view isn't the only one that is correct?

Case in point - there are times I've posted here (and maybe it happened at zOMG and Wankplanet as well) where what I've posted has been misinterpreted to mean something completely different, or people just refused to get my point and went of on a rant saying how wrong I was. Then there is the sarcasm when people think what I'm saying is bollocks; hell, I don't mind sarcasm now and then, but when peole don't want to understand what I've said for whatever reason, it gets a bit hard to take.

Really, am I that fucking hard to understand?

Or am I making too much of this?

Sometimes, what people say sounds different inside their own heads than it does to others.  I think that's what often happens.  It sometimes can be a difference in the words that they are using, like when I didn't know what someone meant by "fuck all" and interpreted a sentence containing it completely the opposite way of how the person using the term intended.

Could be.

Just sometimes I get the impression that when I say something or reinforce a point, some people are reading them as

Blah blah-deblah blah blah deblah blah

And what I've posted is to me in clear English. Whether some people are deliberately taking the Mickey as well, or just not trying to understand me, I dunno.

As I said, maybe I'm making too much of it.

Honestly?

My take on your debating style is that you take a position based on a gut feeling and then you try and create the logic behind it after you have already stated your opinion.  This leads to violently defending indefensible positions, or defending them from weak ground.  You then find yourself making arguments such as "look at the kid in that video game, he got away with being bad because nobody smacked him around and that proves that you need to smack kids".  You defend your positions with irrationality and weak logic.  You are entitled to your own opinion, but you seem unwilling to simply defend your opinion by saying "this is my opinion".  Instead you try and change everyone's mind by using completely daft examples and logic and then telling everyone you are leaving the conversation when you lose ground instead of gaining it.  You try too hard to defend yourself and get lost in the weeds in the process.

OMG.  That is me and why I don't argue much (I think I don't argue much.)  I've never claimed to be logical, merely intuitive and generally comfortable with what I believe.  Although, I will often say, "Just because it's what I feel comfortable believing."  So if anyone has a problem with my arguments, refer to MLA's post.

I'm so shit at starting important conversations. I just kinda drop hints and hope the other person will start it off. Fucking hell

Phone still not working. Was away all day, so couldn't act upon it. Hoped it would be sorted now. It isn't.


I've had it with my provider. This has gone on long enough.
Will change provider, and boost up my internet speed at the same time.

I've had it.

LOL, trying again, now it works, I need to bitch more often.

Surely you've heard of that old saying, "A bitch in time saves nine"?

Actually I had not heard of that one.
