I'm cornering Nora! The two of us have impeccable timing. :nana:

Ain't that the truth!! I just saw your thread! I'm sending you long-distance girly-squeels!
 
This thread has all the really cool kids. And nobody told me. *pouts*

And I just saw where you are pregnant! It sounds like soon there will be a baby, too! Wow! Congrats on that, too.

Girly-squeels are great, but kinda make me nervous and feel way out of place.

Hasn't LT claimed victory yet?

Better! He hath thrown the Holy Hand Grenade of Hyperbole. No, wait, that's the pin. It might be best to duck anyway.

Don't make me puke. It's just all too easy these days.
 
So, true. All of the stuff you've posted is true. Whatever happened to taking responsibility for one's own actions? I always take ownership of my own blunders, but being accused of doing something I haven't is fun, too. It makes the accuser look like a total ass, which I secretly adore.

You can't be serious. You've seen actual examples of this? :confused:

Some favorites of mine:

10. "I was just posting the stupidest thing I could think of, to see how many of you idiots would take it seriously. Dance, puppets, dance!"

*nodding*

I'd rank this a lot higher than 10.
 
usually, in a heated debate the sudden realization that you dont care what a bunch of people on an internet porn site think about you. then the litster gets up and go buys an ice cream cone.

They're your words from less than a month ago, moron.

YOUR OWN WORDS!

What's your next excuse, you were waterboarded? :D
When you decide on a definition of 'lie' that doesn't change from day to day, come back to me and we'll discuss this.

And then there's BlackShanglan's favorite move for when his buddies are hopelessly cornered:

"Well, that's not a racial slur. It's just a word uttered in a conversation."

or:

"The fact that there are fat admirers and indifferents out there, is not actually a fact."

Rich stuff indeed.
 
Start a list thread and put in the names of everyone popular on the board.

"Litsters I would gladly take along for a two week vacation in Spain"

or

"Litsters whom I admire"

or

"The most popular GB posters"
 
25. While in the middle of a heated debate or about to lose said debate...

"Sorry to go but I have a real life to attend to, which you obviously don't have."
 
How about - turn up on this thread after you've just been guilty of one of the behaviours described and agree as if you're observer not perpretator? :)

Smart cookie, BG23

Thank you for reminding us that whatever number we're on needs to read "Make up things that people didn't say. If you're feeling particularly energetic, post links to threads in which they didn't actually say those things and dare people to read through the entire thread. Then ask them to prove where the alleged offense didn't occur."

"I always never said his name was Popinjay, sir."

Shh! That was my cunning strategy, damnit. :mad:

As I'm sure you know, it wasn't directed at you. For heaven's sake don't you go disappointing me too. A girl can't take too many shattered illusions in one evening. :)

^^^^ Oh man, I love it when people just walk right into a bear trap like that.

Part 1:

These are the excuses you came up with when your racist buddies are cornered:

There are more complex ways in which such words can be used. Personally, I like to avoid them because they lead to just this sort of bad feeling and resentment. However, I recognize what appears to me to be enough of a difference in motivation that I am willing to listen to the rest of what Rediciva has to say, and I've not seen her mount any racial attacks on people. I still think she'd be better off not making the comparison she made, but I don't think it's a serious attempt to sling racial slurs in a hateful way. Certainly it's on the borders, and certainly people will take offense and with some good reason, and certainly I think it would have been better not said. But if that's the worst comment she ever makes on race, and thus far it is, I think she doesn't deserve to be tarred as a racist.

No. It was my way of observing that not every sentence with that word in it is an attempt to attack someone's race. Some are; some are not.

Translation: "Well, that's not a racial slur. It's just a word uttered in a conversation."

Damn. I could put a name to every one of those!
Me, too. The death ones are always my favorite, like the people using them really think they're being creative and coming up with something new.
