odeon's ask away-thread

[Calandale]

I'm not in England.
Using the English version
is seen as being a bit pretentious
here. Plus, I don't even know if FF
has one.

What is the most amount of cigarettes you smoked in a day, when you did it?

Around 30 or 40. I didn't count, but when stressed, I smoked a lot.

What is difficult to come off them?

The habit, the fact that you smoke one after dinner, while on the phone, with your coffee... There was always an excuse, too. So the psychological need was a lot worse than the physiological.

[odeon]

I don't understand what you are so upset about, Cal. What kissing of arse? Do you object to me thinking that this comment was fucking hilarious:

no contest: if he were any more stupid, you'd have to water him once a fortnight.

I'm obviously not particularly stupid.

Nothing obvious about it, right now.

And "thuggery"? Oh, please.

Actually, I have less to object about
anyone here but Callaway, and her
claims that I am being an ass to
lucifer, when no one is being so
to me.

It's pure fucking BS, and even those
of you in it should see just how deluded
she's become, in regards to anything involving
me.

I stuck my nose in here, and deserve getting
it bitten. But, I also have every right to bite back.

She should learn to look at things fairly,
but I don't think she's capable of ever
seeing beyond her biases, once formed.

An argument can easily be made that you're no more capable of changing your biases once you've formed them, than you claim Lucifer to be. And no, I don't mean the trivial changing of opinions regarding the number of admins or the like; I mean your constant need of games, politics, etc. Pyraxis put it very well in another thread (can't be arsed to go find it) and said, basically, that we're witnessing that classic aspie characteristic  , an obsession that you must share with everyone, again and again, never observing how bored people are, how tired of your games they become.

She put it a lot better than I did, I must say.

My point, now, is that people react, and that includes Lucifer. Some are simply more tolerant than others. Why should you be spared when you are on Callaway's case all the time?

Read carefully, I wasn't attacking Lucifer.
I think she's fine, so long as I don't give a
shit about what is being discussed.

As to my own aspie 'obsession', yeah, that's not going
to change. I do view the way things are done as important.
And ethics as important. And that's fundamental to me.

Opinions of people should NOT be so.

Why should you be spared when you are on Callaway's case all the time?

Spared? Not at all. Reasonable complaints,
I handle reasonably. The hounding is BS.
People with nothing to say, just jumping
to their master's defense.

[Lucifer]

back to "reasonable"?  as i said before, this is I2, not a kindergarten, or therapy group.  go and look for reasonable somewhere else.

No, that's not reasonable either.
I'm simply going to call the shit
when I see it. To hell with being
accused of whining.

Because, the tactics I'm talking about
are FAR more likely seen in kindergarten
than they are in rational discussions.

[Lucifer]

glad that's settled, then.

can we change the subject now?

I need to quote you, obviously:

That's one example of an attack. Fair it's not.

"People"? What people? And which master? And what's different about their hounding as opposed to yours, assuming that there is such a thing happening here?

In which case, why did you decide to come back here?

[Lucifer]

what's that got to do with the price of fish? 

honestly, does he say anything relevant to threads any more?

I was speaking of callaway, not lucifer.
And it is fair. That is what I've seen.
Once she latches on that someone is
an enemy, for whatever reason, they
remain such. Moreover, she'll pull up
whatever she can to attack, and twist
it to serve her needs - even if it has NOTHING
to do with the topic.

Now, I don't believe that she's honestly that
conniving. I'm giving her the benefit of the
doubt, and presuming that it's some sort of
'moral' calling - from her inability to see nuance,
which leads her to her attacks. Even so, they
are less than honorable.

And what's different about their hounding as opposed to yours, assuming that there is such a thing happening here?

I do it alone. I don't need a whole pack of dogs.
Thus, mine isn't hounding at all. Call it what you
like, but it isn't that when solitary.

[Christopher McCandless]

Lots, you are apparently a market force

Hell, I am curious though, what made you come back here? I am only here because I am wasted half the time, so need somewhere to go without making a complete prat of myself.

[Calandale]

... so need somewhere to go without making a complete prat of myself.

To take the cheap shot...you fail.

Hardly, I have a stack of people pleading with me to live with them irl next year. Not sure that I am well enough to do so mind...

[Lucifer]
