Of course there is variance in application of standards across
individuals and situations. Of course this isn't a black and white
issue. Very few things are. But what the **** does that have to do with
the double standard I identified?
Again: the kook crew here feels free to netkop somebody about the BI,
but if you contact an ISP about TOS violations re content, that's
verboten. If I were to contact Snarky's provider about his insults,
suddenly I'm a netkkkopper. It's freaky stupid is what it is. Yet nearly
everybody here has bought into it.
These mores are adopted to insulate those who engage in ****ty behavior
from the consequences of their behavior. It's the same with taking
usenet to real life. Suppose somebody hides behind their keyboard
calling an enemy all sorts of rancid names and making all sorts of
outlandish claims. It's considered kooky to drag that person's ass from
behind his keyboard and kick the **** out of him. The reason this
standard exists is merely to protect that cowardly ******* that engages
in this behavior. Such a standard exists nowhere else. What could
possibly justify this standard?
Well, psychology isn't a real science, so I understand your inferiority
complex and your need to sound like you're educated.
What's next? Suggesting I need anger management?
LOL.
Also, your pants are on fire. By the next post I'm quite sure they'll be
hanging over the telephone wire.
There is a difference between "presume" and "assume." One with your
academic credentials should surely understand this.
A real scientist would recognize that curves tend toward steep or flat.
Curves aren't slow or fast. But you are a psychologist so this is
probably new to you. Since you are so proud of your advanced database of
knowledge perhaps you should add this little factoid to it. Next time
you want to insult somebody by referencing his or her learning curve,
the more precise (and precision is your paramount desire, we know) way
to do it would be to suggest that they have a flat learning curve.
Mathematically you could represent this as Y=0. This is, incidentally,
Joan GriffinTHAL's learning curve.
This is about as hard as doing reverse psychology on my grandson. When
he was two.
Well, are you?
Feel free to flesh out your claim with examples.
Tick tock.

Not true. Your first less than friendly act was to respond with feigned
politeness to my original question. I responded to that with equally
feigned politeness, mirroring yours. Next, you asked your loaded, er,
pointed question that implied your belief I was paranoid -- definitely
kookbait. I responded pedantically in order to return the insult. We've
traded insults pretty equally from there, although in my opinion I'm
certainly winning on points because mine are so much more clever, witty
and cutting than yours.
Sniggler^wSchoolmarm please!
Your tendency to project disliked parts of yourself onto me is well
evidenced in this thread.
tee hee!
