Help[Opinions] Are you asking us about Mira or Myra?
in reply to a message by -=A=-
It's hard to tell since you never actually ask a question.
It seems like most of your posts, when not responding to someone else, are just musing out loud. I don't think I've ever seen you actually ask for our opinions. Though considering how lowly you consider us, I'm not surprised. I swear this board is for you mere mental masturbation.
+ Rephrased for clarity.

Unnecessary roughness on the field. Five yard penalty.

As a recent convert
to the niceness wagon, I don't think it is; while the term "mental masturbation" might be a bit much, I think she raises a valid point. =A= is a bit condescending very often. If anything, you might want to flag him for general stick-up-butt. I take it with a grain of salt, but I think Fer isn't out of bounds to bring up the issue.
(Pardon the continuance of game-puns.)

Lael,
"Mental masturbation" was the term that brought out my yellow flag. One can bring up an issue nicely, yes?
=A= handled the situation calmly, and I gave him / her credit for that. As for not asking a question in the original post, that's true. Is that against the rules? I just didn't think it merited a harsh rebuke like that.
Fer,
Are you offended? I hope not. :-/

Accusing me of mentally masturbating on this site is also, to the accuser, self-deprecating, as she is also here for mental stimulation (presumably). It would be like telling someone on here to "get a life." You're here too doing the same things, you realize. The only difference is, I'd find discussing the attributes of an individual poster LESS mentally pleasuring (unlike others).

It's an idiomatic expression.
We're all here for discussion and mental stimulation.
You, on the other hand, are condescending toward all of us. This implies you think of us as less worthy of your respect, perhaps even objectifying. Just like, oh wait, what happens when you masturbate to pictures online.
*eyeroll* You're clearly not an idiot, so I don't see why I even needed to explain this.

That wasn't her point, though.
She's calling him for being condescending all the time. She was quite polite, and yes that phrase is charged but it wasn't crass.
His tone is the problem, whether or not he's calm.

Now now. Don't be bitter. I'm not attacking anyone.

She didn't suggest that you did.
She said you're condescending and you never actually want opinions despite the board's, well, name.
Pardon my butting in, but I have this peeve when people don't address the actual issue of a post.

Well here's an opinion for you. This is my impression:
"Hi my name is MEER-uh. Please try not to stand on my throat, as I am unable to pronounce my name nasally enough. I have no backbone of my own."
"Hi. My name is MIE-ruh. I exude class. DO stop by my gallery later."
:-D

Ugh.
Everyone else's opinion is just as valid as yours. You seem to think yours is more important - or at least correct - than anyone else's. The definition of an OPINION means this isn't the case.
You GIVE your opinion all the time but you never TAKE ours into consideration, so WHY BOTHER asking for them? THAT was Fer's point, which no one seems to get.
Frankly you're rather disgusting. It's a good thing this is the internet or we wouldn't fit into the room with your ego.

You're being very malicious. You might consider taking a moment to stop and read the rules.

ROFLOL...Can we say "ironic"?

Would you prefer I went
My opinion:
"My name is MEERah and I'm not nasal."
"My name is MIErah and I'm kind of trashy."
I was just stating my opinion of your attitude because you definitely have one.
And fine, I apologize for calling you disgusting. I just find excessive hubris to leave a bad taste in my mouth and was commenting on it.
ETA: And I realized, AGAIN, you picked something out to reply to rather than reply to what I actually said. You're condescending, and your opinion is not any more valid than anyone else's. You're right, it was malicious to say you're disgusting and I am sorry, although your ego DOES bug me, which has been my whole point the entire time.
ETA2: I'm done arguing with you. There's a little bowl of strawberry ice cream melting as I waste time on this. You're going to be as condescending as you want, and I'm not about to change that, so my keeping pointing it out isn't doing either of us any favors.

If my personality and opinion indirectly offends you, it is your problem, not mine.

ROFL
Ahh, I understand now. You're going through *that* phase.
Well, I look forward to finding out what you're really like when you get over yourself.
