Is it really the online forum aspect that stops you? Or is it your perception that your interlocutor is closed minded? Just curious.

That being said I have no desire to argue with a person in an online forum. Let alone one that makes snap judgements about me from based on a single sentence. Wow, 'people like me' and 'the type of person I am' being a thoughtless bigot? You may want to think that through a second time before calling me a 'thoughtless bigot' After all you don't see me judging you.

quote:

I hadn't really thought about it. I was thinking more due to the fact that I don't see much point to arguing with someone that clearly has his own opinions that are not about to change, and that I don't feel much of a need to start an online argument or fan the flames of one. It achieves nothing and just gets annoying.

But beyond that, who anyone else is sleeping with doesn't matter, unless it's you, or your partner(s).  So let's stop attacking one another, and go back to attacking the furries.  (geek joke)

Having been L4D2ing this weekend with Master, I would have to disagree... attacking zombies is far more fulfilling.

Again, it says much about a person who sees arguing instead of discussion.  People whom claim to assume arguement instead of the intention of discussion are already aware of what they are doing.

quote:

And really, you are judging simply by responding... besides, you are doing a pretty good job of judging other people.
Like I said, I see a huge amount of irony in your postings and yes, I'll make a note of it and comment on it.

quote:

If you like to name call, and yet insist that when people make you feel indignant, judged or any other emotion by their impression of you due to your posts, that they should 'think twice' shouldn't 'judge' you, then just feel and think about how your own words or rather, name calling, work on another.

quote:

According to you, I'm an untrustworthy coward, selfish, and a moron. I will also apparently cheat on anyone I get involved with in the future. Thanks for that.

quote:

It amuses me that you get all offended by .the dark's words, when you have been happily name-calling, and making accusations and assumptions about others based on what is often a singular act, regardless of circumstances.

quote:

If you're with someone who is physically abusive, then sometimes you're so crushed that you can't just leave on your own.  You need a goal, or something tangible, and that something might be another person. 

quote:

Each situation is different.  You can't cheat on a partner who isn't a partner.  A piece of paper doesn't make a marriage.  I should know.  I had a piece of paper for nine years, but never once did I actually have a husband or a partner.  While I didn't cheat on him, and he did cheat on me, I could have, and it wouldn't have been cheating, because he wasn't really my husband.

quote:

While I am still of the opinion that the OP is looking for permission to do something she knows she shouldn't do, this has gotten way off on a tangent.

quote:

Rhodes, I read over your posts, and honestly, I was ready to defend a fellow gamer.  But I do feel you're making knee-jerk judgments and not thinking about the people behind the judgments.  And when people pounced on you, you felt attacked, and it's been pretty downhill since. 

quote:

Who said anything about asuming? My statement was simple, that I did not want it turning into an argument. I said nothing about it being an argument at that point.

quote:

I was thinking more due to the fact that I don't see much point to arguing with someone that clearly has his own opinions that are not about to change,

quote:

Judging by responding....? Thats a rather large leap there. Also if thats the case what are you doing by responding? So you're going to make a note and comment on my supposed 'irony?' Are you attempting to provoke me, start an argument or make yourself look like an asshole by that? Because i'll say now that the whole 'cat and mouse' thing doesn't go over well with me.

quote:

I never said anyone made me feel indignant, judged or anything else for that matter. I don't know where you are getting that from.

quote:

You may want to think that through a second time before calling me a 'thoughtless bigot' After all you don't see me judging you.

quote:

All I said was do not claim I am 'judging' people and then imply you are doing the same to me.

quote:

Frankly I don't care what you think of me

quote:

 By the way, before you mention the 'moron' comment again, keep in mind that I was not the one that brought that up in the first place.

quote:

Perhaps you should also take into account that the OP clearly either did not take into account or did not care what effect her cheating would have on the person she cheated on?

quote:

 Its interesting how you come to the defense of a person that is clearly doing something wrong and trying to justify/excuse it and ignore that fact. While trying to tell me to be more considerate of her feelings. Shes a grown woman, if she can't take being called a moron for lying and cheating on a person then maybe she should not have done it to begin with. What would you expect? A 'poor you' statement to her?

• Takes responsibility for what I say.
  
• Does do irony.
  
• Does do discussion with factual information placed before me and has repeatedly tried to do so, without arguing.
  
• Doesn't like the use of a word and finds it disgusting.
  
• Does find name calling to be a sign of a lack of ability to be intelligent and a lack of maturity.
  
• Does have an invite to the states.(Thats totally irrelevant but so bloody cool!)
  
• Does have a sense of humour.

• You supported name calling.
  
• You have also name called an entire subsection of peoples based on nothing other than an action without taking into consideration any real factual information - in this case the action is cheating.
  
• You then continue to name call others different names, including myself, based on ad hom.
  
• You admit to assessing whether an arguement should take place(whether it's worth it), rather than discussing a topic.
  
• You cannot understand signatures.
  
• You have shown you don't really read what people have written, unless it's all about you(and then you get it wrong).
  
• You have double standards.
  
• You don't get irony.
  
• You can really dig a hole.

I said nothing about you at all.

quote:

if they are a cheater they are a cheater. Whether a single act or a thousand, it doesn't change what they did.

quote:

And nowhere did I say that anyone would cheat on anyone they got involved with in the future just because they did so once. Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

quote:

Hence he is lying to her, hiding things from her and cheating on her. If he will do this to her, he WILL do this to you as well.

quote:

If you really think that leaving a years long relationship, or worse, a decade(s) long marriage, is a simple as packing your bags and walking out the door, you just don't get it.

At least I can sleep comfortably, knowing that I haven't name called, renounced my responsibilty or used ad hom attacks on a subject which one wouldn't have all the information about and instead I simply stuck to the facts as presented to me in black and white (well, it's kind of black and grey really) on the thread itself.
