Oh this is nearly as exciting as the boxing! Are any of you chaps into psychology, because this thread is a splendid place to learn.
I particularly loved Freakyg's comment:
(isn't great when someone backs themself into a corner)Quote:
i honestly couldnt care less about who you are, or who you think i am. i only know what i am, and what you portray. youve assumed that i am a little kid or teenager that spends his time causing all kinds of problems for helpless little people. ever heard the saying that to assume makes an Ass out of you and Me?
How wonderfully put, but for a couple of things, firstly, good communication relies on assumption to a certain extent, particularly the art of persuasion and very good communication relies on how to circumnavigate assumption, either way, without assumption, we have very discriptive sentences (that would send you into quite a deep trance after 7+/- 2 observations, try it on someone it is an interesting phenomena called hypnosis) that would be hard pushed to get any context.
The other point is that if you look at what you have written, and throw it back into your own context if you like, you have made a "meta assumption" if you like, by assuming that they assumed you were a little kid. I have to admit, I didn't see it that way, I saw it as a way to get under your skin and upset you, like saying "hey, I stuffed your mum one" and 10 out 0f 10 guys, you did a great job!
Why get heated, I have learned that heated newbies don't last long anywhere, but then in my experience neither do smartarses like me.
Sorry I couldn't stay out of such a wonderfull thread, though I think the moderators need to move it to the psycho analysis and denial forum.
