Hi, Paranoidwriter! How would you characterise Oddman's lengthy tirade? I got a whiff, in amongst ill-informed, incoherent and sycophantic, of harsh and nasty. Just sayin'.
Hi Haus. Hmmm... I just re-read Oddman's post, and you have a point there. But still, sometimes it's better to be a "bigger man", so to speak, and "there's more than one way to skin a cat" (sheesh, I sound like my Mother!). Granted, it's not easy (and I'm not very good at it myself)), and such statements sound pious to the cynical ear. But even so, I can't help thinking that sometimes some of the flaming that goes on around here is on the side of overkill and tainted with more than a little vitriolic schadenfreude. Sometimes, of course, it's just harmless banter, but on occasion it feels as though I'm watching a gang tormenting an injured animal and loving the power-kick they seem to get out of it.
I'm probably wrong, of course, but I find it hard to sit back in silence when I think someone is suffering a form of abuse. But please, I REALLY don't want to cause trouble. I just thought someone should say something before the insults got out of hand. Also, I'm very tired and that probably isn't helping my interpretation and/or my ability to communicate properly.
Right, I'm off to bed! G'night all. |
