Who can argue with this impeccable "superior" logic, one in which each of us can decide on our own who deserves to be called an arrogant ignominious for not much more than disagreeing. Further, you can write any vulgar expletive, but it must be taken as a joke as long as a smiley is put at the end. This "superior" logic is like silly putty, you can mold it to suit whatever is the need of the hour.
I have no use for this "superior" logic, I rather to stick to ordinary logic, rationality, and civility in my exchanges
Ok let us stick with ordinary logic, a sense of fairness exhibited by all would go a long way in my view.
It is game-playing act to twist a critique on a post that exhibited a negative behavior (post #173 "Voodoo Artists are called as Doctors! All because they treat patients!!" which in the view of many is a mean spirited and tasteless post) and interpret that criticism on a person and cry fake outrage.
If the people who are 'ganging up' now on DrBarani's post had spoken at the time of this
unwarrented personal attack then I would have had lot more respect for their positions when they cry fowl now. Let us stop this 'holier than thou' game playing.
Removing a 'smiley' as a context when citing a person's post is also game playing. When we do not have means to express our mood in a forum, the icons do help convey that. It is a deliberate act of mischief to remove that in a citation and cry (fake) outrage.
Let us now talk about this civility of exchange where there are many
exemplary posts ranging over months with many different people.
Why go that far - Let us look right at this thread itself in
post #120
It is a memorable quote directed at DrBarani for disagreements - "
Don't assume what I implied, to assume is to make an ass - out of - u - and - me. You may have the right to do so out of you, but not out of me" - Nara, post #120
So much for civility of exchange and where is everyone who are here with their (fake) outrage?
DrBarani - was not flipping fingers at anyone, he jokingly said a few words in a generic manner to bring levity to the discussion. It was directed to no specific person. It is like a comedian performing on a stage.
You may live in North American continent but it does not mean you cannot have a sense of humor. If this offends you but a direct personal attack on a person does not or telling a person that they have a right to make an ass out of himself is fine then yours right now is a fake outrage in my view which is disingenuous.
Let us stop this 'holier than thou' posts and get back to the serious topic of the discussion.
Laugh at the post if you don't like something stated, admire how their mind works - that is what I do at a number of Sri Nara's post though he may or may not have intended humor. I have no problem if you all want to laugh at my posts too.
Please do not assume that everyone is offended at DrBarani's posts - Again let me quote "Don't assume what I implied, to assume is to make an ass - out of - u - and - me. You may have the right to do so out of you, but not out of me"
Let us take it easy!
