re: #466 Obdicut

I’m sorry, Ice, I stand by that. I do think he lacks graciousness. I don’t lie, and I obviously am not going to lie about something that can be checked. I was lazy and jumped to the wrong assumption. So did he, when he accused me of lying.

Sorry. You didn’t even join here until November. I bring this up NOT as some kind of “ooo, look how long someone’s been here’ bullshit—but to make a point to you that LGF in the beginning of summer 2009 was a very different commenting community than it was in Nov 2009.

Haven’t seen everything this guy has done. But I really, really, really dislike the ‘old’ LGF culture of always beating on new people.
Sometimes a new person here still gets a massive beating from all over. And most people here don’t quite understand why a new person who is catching a lot of shit might understandably be not so polite the 10th time he’s called a liar, even if it is by someone just joining the fray that day.

You called him a liar. You were wrong. You apologised, which is very cool and much more than most do in similar circumstances— but maybe this is when you should employ that vaunted virtue of ‘graciousness’ and not pretend that your situations as commenters are similar— or that his reaction to you was somehow ‘the same’ as your charge.

Just sayin’.
