I said in my last post that was meant as a joke


I was not admitting that. That maybe how you interpreted that, but that's not what I meant.




I kinda hoped the smiley made it look not so serious....




Ok, I admit, that was not very nice...


Again your interpretation... this was never meant to be mean or anything like that...


Yeah well, if he'd simply acknowledged the fact that I actually have a point, allthough it might be a minor one... I would have laid off.... now I felt misunderstood so I tried to explain again...



Ripped, call it what you want. I was just looking for some acknowledgement and I didn't get it.... this whole argument could have just been avoided if people just acknowledged the fact that I have a point, but that it doesn't really matter because everybody knows what the questions mean... Instead people were giving me a hard time for being an anal {mmm...tasty}.

Dave, lets leave it at a big miscommunication... I actually think this is a really good topic, because it makes you think about were you stand in the scene and what your goals are. It's also good to know eachothers needs and help eachother with that....

hug and make up??? 

Joost, I'll acknowledge that you had a valid point when you acknowledge that you were acting like a jerk to Oneel over a point that didn't even matter.

How's that?

We can kiss and make-up then.

I said:
"Is that you admitting I am right?"

You agree that up untill here we were joking?

You said:
"Just right about being anal  Not sure if you really want me to agree with you on that one though"

You could also not have been a jerk and just said:
"yes, you have a point, but you are also being anal and let's leave it at that"

If you would have said that, there would be no reason for me to try to explain it again...


Then Oneel gets hung up about me joking about "finally someone with some sense", a joke which djdunamis clearly DID get.

Oneel said:
"Joost. Lay off.  Seriously."

Oneel could have been not a jerk and said:
"yes, you have a point, but I'm not going to change the questions because everybody knows what they mean, so let's leave it at that"

but he didn't.... he was making a big deal out of it... so I felt the need to explain again...this time I was not so friendly anymore with my reply because Oneels post came off quite strong...


Then Oneel is blaming me for making a big deal::

"There's a lot of things on here that I think are stupid,  but that's not a reason to point it out.  Now you're just being an {mmm...tasty}.  if you don't want to answer,  then don't answer.  There's no reason to make a big deal about it."

He could also have said that the point is valid, but that there's no need to change to questions because everybody knows what they mean...

Somehow it's seems very hard for him to admit his questions weren't actually the proper questions for the answers he was looking for.


Then a bomb explodes after I tell him there's no reason to be agitated about it.

Then why I try to explain my point of view, people rather stick to the image of me being a jerk, then accepting the things I tell them.


If I'm being a jerk here, then so are you Dave, and so is Oneel. This whole discussion could have been avoided if you weren't so proud an jerky. You could have just acknowledged that I actually have a point and left it, but you didn't. Instead you kept going on about the fact that it doesn't matter.... but I allready acknowledged that myself by saying that I was being anal...

I admit that I could have been wiser and stopped arguing earlier as well, but if I'm a jerk, than I'm not the only one.

Yeah, he's got a sword AND a shield, what does Mario have?

dude, as soon as you're in that sumo suit...

I remember Cornerstone having a lake!
