Fnord, we have to clarify whenever we're ignoring you because you write these things as if your life makes more sense than everyone else's.
Well, it DOES! To me, anyway.cberg wrote:

Yup! That's what I'm doing! Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng!cberg wrote:

It's not behind anyone's back. It's right out here in the open forum, where anybody can read it!OK sure but this is exclusory towards those of us who aren't commiserating about how much more sensible we are.
I guess you could always try saying all this to people's faces, but I doubt your resolve about whatever you're saying.
It's bothersome that you act superior to people who you think are acting superior to you. It's a theory of mind problem & it's yours, OP. Check the diagnosis you regard so scientifically. This is a full form rant about many of us, it's not minor just because Fnord said it.

I don't see it as wasted effort if you manage to start respecting people you don't know.
I'm not optimistic about that today.

I'm just clarifying what elicited those responses.
I feel like I'm parenting my parents here.

I'm not asking for control, I'm asking for common decency; enough to stop looking down on the rest of us. I'll repeat myself since you're not really reading my posts - it's a theory of mind problem that you regard us this way because you don't know us.
It's a fairly common delusion that you're the only rational human being, except for those other five or so rational ones. The fact is that rational thinking is something that evolved with all of us. Either you can recognize that or you're just being impulsive.

Why waste all that effort? I meant thinking "Fnord is simply not worth my time" and then acting accordingly - by using one's time on something / someone worth it (not Fnord in this case).
You're saying it's a waste of effort to hold a guy accountable for what he says?

Why would an overly-sensitive and contentious person who sees conflict in even the most benign of statements suddenly declare that they are ignoring you?
Because you don't think about what you say before you say it. It's not up to you how sensitive anyone should be. People are repeatedly stating their ignorance towards you because you visibly disapprove of many people.
In some ways, when we say we're ignoring you we're trying to help. Being called out for being rude is normal.

I'm just an autistic talking hand on the internet, I have zero feelings where Fnord is concerned. I have zero feelings where most people are concerned so when guys start talking down to others in such self-aggrandizing ways, I take notice & inform them of their mistakes.
