advice because you think we need you to play that role for us then "go fuck yourself" seems like the best response. I mean, talk about arrogance.

fine, but I just don't see how A leads to B here. - znufrii Sep 7, 10:57 6
- because he said, "you thought A, but it was really B"? you take ST at face value except for that one post? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 10:58 5
  - You're misreading my point - znufrii Sep 7, 11:03 4
    - I will say that since the Skagnetti incident, any blatant attempt to mislead leaves a very bad taste in my mouth -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 11:06
    - because if i was like, "hey znu, I'm going to do meth. it looks fun." and you were like, "dude, don't. meth is bad, it'll ruin your life." - TFox Sep 7, 11:06 2
      - it all depends on how much interest I have vested in him telling me the truth in the first place. - znufrii Sep 7, 11:09
      - Meth is great though, right? -- nm - oblique Sep 7, 11:07
the marriage stuff was all true, though. -- nm - loosilu Sep 7, 10:53
Yeah, I don't think he was inventing anything. - musubi Sep 7, 10:51 21
- me, too. otoh, for you, from b2 - you're wrong, about some of us anyway. - b. Sep 7, 10:53 11
  - I am not trying to cast aspersions on anyone being "not real". It's human nature to put on faces for different situations. - musubi Sep 7, 11:00 7
    - You and znu can switch back now. No more peeing in magic fountains for either of you. -- nm - TWuG Sep 7, 11:07
    - I posted something similar recently to your first part, but you lose me for the last. - b. Sep 7, 11:05 [Backboard]
    - absolutely true. however, no-one else (i'm pretty sure) is attempting (however poorly) to build an identity un-related to their reality. -- nm - Andie Sep 7, 11:03 1
      - I guess I figure, if reality were kicking me in the groin the way his reality is kicking him in the groin, I'd be temped to say, "it's most fake" too. - musubi Sep 7, 11:08
    - is this sabermetrics? -- nm - TFox Sep 7, 11:00 2
      - Sabermoosetrics. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 11:01
      - bubermetrics. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 11:01
  - Word. I'm pretty much exactly the same in real life as I am here. - Jim Sep 7, 10:56 2
    - No you are not...I have met you and you are really Tyra Banks -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:57 1
      - So you're saying I don't post as sexy as I really am? -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 11:00
- it amounts to the same thing - Reagen Sep 7, 10:53 3
  - fwiw, I think it's been pretty pathetic. - b. Sep 7, 10:58
  - I guess I get that, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't even move the needle for me. (nm) - musubi Sep 7, 10:56
  - yeah, this too. "you're all dumb." -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:55
- but it's insulting to us in any case. -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 7, 10:53 4
  - It wasn't insulting to all of us -- nm - amoxy Sep 7, 10:54 3
    - well, you have met him, correct? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 7, 10:59 2
      - Yeah, and I liked the guy I met. I guess I did not get upset with the previous stuff that was posted - amoxy Sep 7, 11:01 1
        
        see, that is the difference. - groiny Sep 7, 11:04
