Know what forget the rhymes they are debatable, but don't you dare dismiss arguments like that because for me it reads like politically correct saying "you are an idiot" because I know English very well, in fact I knew it well enough to get the highest possible score on the national university entrance exams which are relative to the scores of other students or in other words I outscored every single student that took the test with me including native speakers. If you dismiss all of that you basically call me an idiot. You just jump on the opportunity to say it so lightly when I read between the lines or say something you have hard time accepting / understanding instead of actually trying to understand it, in other words you dismiss it as a muttering of an idiot that shouldn't make sense anyway so why bother listening to them ? There is little to no language barrier between us, in fact the language barrier is so minor that someone as intelligent as you should not have any trouble understanding what I say if he tries a little harder, think of it next time before you call me an idiot again.

"Oh Iv heres your language barrier again nobody called you an idiot honey :) ", Just warning you that if you gonna say that you just gonna end up a hypocrite asshole.

Interpretation requires effort, as you yourself say. Effort necessitates motivation, which your personality doesn't really inspire all that much a lot of the time (to be brutally honest). And vinyl's right in that there have been several occasions where miscommunication has completely fucked over a discussion.

I know you're backed in a corner here but please don't be so hostile to vinyl for making an observation. There are no hidden implications in what he said.

What Tiel said, that I had no further implications other than miscommunication, is absolutely true, and when I see what I feel to be an aggressive overreaction for something that I didn't even think could be provocative for a response of that caliber, is what I feel drives the idea that there is a language barrier (which, as you've clarified, does not in fact exist) and that you are aggressive.

Hey you do call me an idiot on every arising opportunity, how am I supposed to react ? Im just returning the pressure put on me, perhaps it feels a little too straightforward because I am straightforward and if I think you are a hypocrite lets say ( not thinking it right now don't worry) there is nothing that keeps me from saying it to you, you hear what I think, no stuff held back, if I were to hold stuff back in discussion with you that means I don't trust you.

Unless you are talking to me and not Tiel in the beginning, I'd like to say I don't seriously call people idiots. I'd like to give you a little hint about returning pressure: if they aren't applying pressure, you look like the one applying the pressure to everyone else. And not telling everyone everything is something everyone but you seems to do, it's what any polite person does, it's not a sign of distrust it's simple courtesy, maybe not for you, but for most other people here it is, and as you should have gathered by this point, being totally straightforward and unfiltered doesn't get you much places.

Cats, I don't like you, but god damn do I respect you.

But seriously, sarcasm or anything isn't going to help this issue.

Well do you prefer that I will dish you out empty, cold, sarcastic comments and compliments that would make you puke out all that you have eaten so far in disgust ? Or perhaps you would like me to hate you quietly waiting for every single opportunity to bite you in the ass and ruin your day ? I might go off in a nova but as a result I don't have any hard feelings for anyone, yeah you say something that upsets me I let it out and we are back to being equals, believe me it is much better than holding a grudge against someone for months like Tiel did to me a good long time ago , eventually he let it all out to (just in tinny portions) and cooled down, I doubt he has anything against me right now. Let it all out with a straight face and be back on equals couse that’s what friends do, I'm sure you are all polite with your friends when you swear freely left right and center with em, so cut the "politeness" crap and keep it for strangers you don't know, they will appreciate it.

Iv you talk like the forum is a condom for your RL feelings and not a group you hang out with. And if what you say is true then maybe you should just leave because everything must make you grumpy. Since I've yet to see a post from you that doesn't make you look like a narcisstic person.

How does a post about getting new members lead to the ostracism of an existing one? This place..

Every discussion in which Iv participates ends up being about this issue, regardless of what it was about originally. Gosh, I wonder why.
