What I said wasn't condescending at all (that's your perception, i guess) & of course I'm judging the subject matter, not parkster -- but I gave my impression of his reaction to my questions & I gave my overall strong philosophical viewpoint regarding the thread, cultural aspects that I'm reminded of, & about posting pictures of other people w/out express permission--
Unlike you, however-
I gave caveats to my statements...
So, ironically....besides your inaccurate perception, I'm wondering why you are so judgmental?
she looks like she may have had some work done. Either that, or it's the make-up...
It had those undertones and your responses only serve to to make it more apparent; you obviously had a problem with what he put up, taking a criticizing stance, which seeped into your response to him. Whether this was your intention or not, this is how it came off to me and I'm betting parkster would agree as his comment back hints at resonance to what I am saying. So, as of now, I figure my perception is on. I posted as an attempt to clarify a possible explanation of parksters reaction towards you as you came off clueless towards it.
As far as your judgemental comment, I dont know how to respond to that.
Clarify abit.
<Crispy> what subt doesnt understand is that a healthy reaction to "FUCK YOU" is and not
First off, I asked 2 straightforward questions on my initial thread. No criticism at all!
(did you read my 1st post? & no I'm not being condescending-)
Second, a response post by Parkster criticizing *me* with judgmental insults like "idiotic" and "annoying" --
Third, me responding in depth... with caveats and explanation...still...NO INSULTS or criticism of Parkster-- (although, it "seemed" like he might have emotionally over-reacted...but I made sure to say that I could be wrong, out of respect to Parkster.... hense, I was still maintaining respectful conversation & not taking an absolute view...even though talking passionately about my beliefs... and though I had just been insulted by him in the previous thread)
Fourth, you judgmentaly calling me "judgemental" and inaccurately "condesending."
If the irony is not apparent to you ... I don't know how to further clarify -
(Again, I'm saying all this in a fairly dispassionate mode...though I don't know how it comes across to you on internet)
Do I have problems with photographs being put on the internet without people giving their explicit consent? Hell ya! I think that is a privacy violation that I'm not kosher with -
Do I get annoyed with all the *I want to fuck so & so...* on the internet Ya, I do --
So what?
I have the right to my opinions like you do. I don't mind if people disagree but I'm not going to just sit here & suck up to people on threads if I don't agree with a philosophy - even if those people are people I generally admire -
But the point is I asked a simple question and ironically got condescending insults in return -- which you further prolonged (knowingly or not)--
Anyway,
I didn't mean to offend him (or you) if that is what happened.
but I also won't apologize for having my own opinions about life-
anyway, goodnight pirate
I must retire for the night
Nah, I actually didn't call you any of those things.
If you go back to what I wrote, you will notice that I was referencing your phrasing in particular, that might have been a potential problem in communication. I absolutely agree with you that you have the right to say whatever, and you dont neccessarily have anything to apologize for. That being said, you are the one wanting to establish a discussion, or resonance of sorts and such a tone I feel is unlikely to mesh well with parky. You seem clueless as to the goings, but aiming for a genuine discussion so I figured I would clarify abit.
<Crispy> what subt doesnt understand is that a healthy reaction to "FUCK YOU" is and not
You're being oblivious.
No, I wasn't insulting you. I was characterizing the question, not the person. That's just your "emotional reaction to a perception".
You don't seem willing to understand what is happening. You're too full of yourself for that. Or you're completely aware, but enjoy fucking with me.
Take your problems and stick em up your... you know where. But just keep them away from me. I will not show the concern you want to see, and I will not compromise my behavior to suit your obnoxious, self-absorbed ego.

Thanks bro.
Which, as you can see, can be of absolutely no use/effect when dealing with people that have their head stuck up their butt, and who are only interested in having their own opinions, beliefs, values, etc. heard and reflected.
