re: #131 WindUpBird

just stick to a thread where you’re aware of the spread of what’s being discussed, as someone who has been posting online since I was a kid in the late 1980’s, from the BBS, Compuserve and GEnie days, sometimes, it just ain’t worth jumping into a 500 comment thing where shit’s flying

yeah. had little choice though, seeing I was being accused of being a stalker and what not. still, you have a point.

re: #133 wozzablog

I have two ways of doing things - others vary.
Either - i will ding a thread i missed (on the salient points) - rarely downward.

Or - I will drop a comment onto the end of it.

However - if a question was raised over my conduct during a thread and that thread is now dead - it is only polite to acknowledge such in a live thread and link to the dead thread.

HOWEVER - you take a lot less flak for dinging threads if you are a regular contributor. Then people know you may have an opinion but are too pressed for time to express it or have missed the boat on a thread but still wanna give props.

okay, sorry! if I had known that, I would have dropped it in a live thread with a link in a dead one. I honestly did not know (thought doing so would have been impolite, even!)

re: #134 Aceofwhat?

was a joke. sometimes i’m funny, sometimes i’m not. roll with it, girlfriend.

in that case, sorry. I was being a bit defensive. my bad!

Oh stop with the martyr routine. Violently implies contact, no one touched you. Mr. Hyperbole.

not being a martyr, it just seems that I do A, I get attacked for doing A, I do A, I get attacked for doing A. some consistency would be nice ;)

anyway, good night everyone (or good morning, or whatever) - I’m off.
