ArchivesRe: Language Evolves
in reply to a message by Siri
Actually, I'm using the terminology that the dictionary used, Siri. Don't assume.

Get off it
I'm so tired of this, Chrisell. I'm tired of it.
I get an e-mail from you, just seeing if you're okay - and it sounds like a whining, little 14 year old. I daren't say anything - I'm wrong.
Elinor did not call you a liar, I'm sorry to say.
You're overly sensitive, a drama queen, need to control every detail, constantly need to be right. Whenever you're not, you throw a hissy fit and run away.
I am SO tired of this - get a goddamn life. Did I assume? Yes, because of the rest of your preachy, annoying posts.
Get a life.

Ahh, Siri . . .
Why don't you get a life, and grow up. This is a technical discussion about the etymology of a word, not a grandstand for your emotional problems.
The contents of my private mail to you should not have been raised on this board, and I am disgusted at the lack of respect you have displayed in doing so. It is typical of you, however, to use peoples' confidences against them. Have I ever used your admissions regarding jealousy and bitterness against you? I didn't even keep those emails because I didn't think it would be fair to hold your past behaviour against you after you had apologised. I suppose it was far too much to expect that kind of discretion from you.
You asked what was wrong. Of course I had a whinge. That's part of what friendship is all about - being able to whinge and moan to one's friends when one is feeling down. Excuse me for confusing you with a friend. I won't make that mistake again.
When I am wrong, I admit I am wrong. I have done it many times. The fact is that a lot of the time I do know what I'm talking about. Whether people like it or not, I do have two university degrees. I can't help that and I'm not going to pretend to be dumb so that people like you don't feel threatened.
As for throwing a hissy fit and running away - I've done that once. That's hardly 'whenever', and I apologised when I came back. I did not 'run away' recently; I decided to stop posting and moderating for many reasons, none of which had anything to do with being right or wrong. They were to do with being stressed and anxious - something I thought you would understand. In fact, you said you did understand. If you didn't mean it, why lie about it? You could have just not responded. And why did you ask if you didn't care in the first place? Was your post to the board asking if I was ok nothing more than an attempt to get attention for yourself? A desperate cry for someone to notice how attentive and caring Siri is?
