Why the little retract claws thing? You're not capable of doing damage here are you?
There, you've got your daily attention. Now if you don't have anything else to say...I believe you can imagine a door being somewhere in the general area. Because this is quite a good thread and too many threads are ruined because people fail to understand points. Not a personal jab, just a statement.

This thread is still running? 🙄Overlord, quit while you're behind. You're just putting yourself in a dangerous situation, wearing nothing but a neon sign saying 'Rape Me'. Ergo, you've been seriously raped.

What? That was a little below the belt and hardly necessary. Feel better now? I may have had my 'daily attention', AC, but I'm guessing it's going to take many more snide comments and insulting digs for you to satisfy your ego.
No I don't.
I remember in a specific OTF thread that you made a similar post directly to me, worse infact. Followed by "If this seems personal, it's not. It's just my view of how you conduct yourself." Remember that? The other big hoopla we had where you also ended up apologising for being too headstrong?
If you choose to ignore that, I can't do anything.

I genuinely don't recall writing that. Find it and I'll be the first to apologise.
But you most definitely have said to me in the past, something along the lines of, "You make a serious comment and then try to backtrack when you offend someone more capable than you are of defending themselves."
Not a direct quote, but close enough. Meaning you think I try to gloss over any insults I make when someone gets upset.
Which you did, by adding 'not a personal jab' onto the end of a post which was quite obviously negative.
Find it and I'll be the first to apologise 🙂.
The thing is, I didn't mean that as a personal jab. I said so then and I'll say so now.
You have quite clearly taken swipes at people before and then tried to get out of it later by playing the "I'm highly strung" technique, much later. Mine was in the same post.
I take nothing you say to be that serious anymore because of this. Hence why I do find it quite annoying that you try to go on a warpath and then ***** at me about it. The amount of times you've apologised to me for your short-temper are plentiful. So instead of tempting things by letting your attitude get the best of you, think.
Oh and no, by saying it wasn't a personal jab, I did infact mean that it wasn't. Shock, huh?

Fair play 🙂
I've taken swipes at people who deserved it, and I hold that ground. If someone's acting like a fool I'll tell them. But mostly, my conscience comes into play and I realise it is only a forum, we are fundamentally strangers and none of it matters any great amount. So if I offend someone, sometimes I apologise. Surely you're not telling me the ability to take a step back and humble one's self is a bad thing? Just because you're incapable doesn't make it a negative.
You take absolutely nothing I say seriously, that's the problem. If you were able to be objective and appreciate the times when I do genuinely have something decent to say, we'd get somewhere. But, instead, you've labelled me as not worth listening to and so you consistently put me down. I have a sense of humour, mostly I'll provide you with banter, but occasionally you antagonise me a little too much and I get irate. And this is where you always jump in with "Typical Syren, she's attention-whoring again! See, I'm right, as usual... Syren tried to participate and fell flat on her face. Nothing to do with the fact that I, the great AC, took things one step too far again so I could feel good about myself."
Because you know me so well, don't you?

So it's ok for you to do all that, but when I do it I'm some how spiteful and evil purely because you have an extraordinarily high opinion of me? That's a little odd. I do nothing you don't do, aside from the attention whoring. I just do it better, more effectively and in a way that you cannot. This isn't my fault, it's not yours. So the sooner you stop being bitter, the sooner you can move on. Because everytime I have these talks with you, the past issues are raised not by me, by you. I don't care if we talk or not, matters none to me.
"If someone's acting like a fool I'll tell them." I think you act like a fool sometimes, so I tell you. You're not excluded, as much as you'd like to believe you are.

I meant these little tantrums. When you do make a coherent point, I'll reply to you in agreement or otherwise. Don't even deny this. I did it just recently in the christmas thread and I have done it before.
It's these tantrums I don't take seriously, not the posts you make.

Well A) You get irate, that's your well documented and all too easily aroused temper. Not my problem.
B) That is what you do. Don't strut about the forum more or less positively claiming the crown of attention whore (which you do), claim to have an obnoxious attitude and spot your OWN flaws, then moan when someone else does.
You are way too hypocritical for your own good.

From the rape victims being drunk often to the assumption that they all wore naughty clothing to a discussion about retracting claws to yet another wave of personal attacks.So, what do you think about this thread highjack?
We've had some interesting deviations and debate. It's proved that sex crimes always will be an immotive issue and for this reason they will always be difficult to investigate and prosecute. They are both a heinous act and a weapon in the hands of the unscrupulous. Some people feel women need to understand the nature of "some" men and men need to understand the nature of "some" ome. Some men still put women on pedestals. I see no hijack just discussion.

I hoped for some reasonable discussion though instead of off topic. Well.. Love the Bronson avatar anyway.
no probs and you will get discussion although sometimes it becomes combative, We also have cliques and groupthink within this forum, and about the avatar - thanks, Bronson was awesome.
