Is the site becoming a mess??

[Scrapheap]

Those are your own words. Don't weasel out of them. 

How would I weasel out of what I perceive in others?

What you seem to consider 'weaseling' is what I consider
being fully honest - enough so to reconsider my own feelings.

You said yourself you talk out of your ass.... much as you're doing now.

Good lords, we are touchy aren't we?
So, now anything I say is expected
to be some sort of gospel truth, or I'm to
be attacked? Grow up.

Why doesn't Scrap change his IP when sock puppeting? Even an almost computer-illiterate guy like I can do that. 

I didn't check the sockpuppet's IP before blaming Scrap. Even Flo would have figured this one out.

There was a very good reason for Timmy's appearance last night. I was trying to drop a hint to calandale about his spamming. I guess it didn't work.

Plus for the effort.

Timmy was every bit as annoying as Calandale during his spamming spree.

No, you're just getting tiresome....thats all.

No, I'd just like to see a certian dgree of sincerity from your posts, since when you're called out for your words, you start to dodge and weave.

Grow up.

Quit posting in the mirror.

I think that I've expressed that whatever
I put down is pretty damned sincere, with
the exception of obvious jokes.

Indeed. As I've said, I'm trying to limit my desire to respond to everything,
but the more pissed I get, the less that I care.

This is talking out of both sides of your mouth.

And my ass too.

This seems to clearly fit in the latter category,
though it might be expressing some of
the impressions that I seem to have given others,
in a sort of sarcastic slap at myself. I do shit like
that all of the time - classic low self esteem
attitude.

The statement that begins the quote is indeed
pretty true. I'd been making an effort not to
try and say something in response to everything.
AND the whole timmeye shit was getting me
into a pissed enough state that I was close
to slipping into maximal spam mode.

I am finding that not responding to much
is much less pleasant though. Right now,
I'm just taking a break from work. Don't
know what it means if I end up online a
lot again.

An honest appraisal. I found the spamming
cathartic. Hoping that I shan't need that,
but who knows?

is scrap in danger of waking up next to a dead horse?

More likely a live whore.

I'm just saying that I liked the thrill of spamming.
Doubt that I would again though. Probably just
do it over at WP. It doesn't do any harm there.

Doing it at WP is a good idea. Doing it in Alex's inbox is an even better one.

NO-ONE reads the latter.

No one would much notice at WP,
there are plenty of spammers there.
None of MY talent. It just gets boring
dealing with some of the low-quality ones.

What separates low-quality spam from high-quality spam?

[Calandale]

What separates low-quality spam from high-quality spam?

The quality. Gosh, I thought that was obvious.


I'd go into this more (and shall never fear),
but my battery is nearly dead, and that was
my self-imposed limit.

[Calandale]

What separates low-quality spam from high-quality spam?

Something of a joke really. What I write isn't usually considered spam,
UNLESS it is off topic. But, since almost every topic here wanders off
topic, it kind of applies to everything that people write. Same thing
(though perhaps to a lesser extent) at WP.

Okay, so what is quality and what is not? All a matter of the humor.
Obviously, by the response I'm getting, my spam has sunk to levels
where it is not viewed as of the quality which it usually is. 'Tis cool.
Pretty much the same crap gets yucks elsewhere.

What bothers me a whole lot more is that when I try cutting back
on pure spam, if anything, I'm getting abused more. Again, I've got
no real problem with this, but it seems completely wasted to discuss
my opinions when they are ridiculed as either spam, or as some sort
of inconsistent mess. At least the spam seemed to have been generated
some laughs, UNTIL I tried cutting back, and then EVERYTHING I said
was taken as some sort of insult to this community by certain members.
Usually, this only happens to me IRL.
