The Shoutbox
I laughed.
I think I may have just made my funniest post in the IT thread as well

I'm proud of that tbh,
If you want to see madness, check my linky in the It remake thread. Hilariously insne.
All forums are mad. It's a house full of kids hyped up on red drink. Great fun.
Little Devil, I am sorry you got drawn in to the Forum madness, hopefully whatever you do you will have fun with it
Is Iro an aussie? I'm not sure why I think that. Maybe it's his sense of humour.
fwiw, I already stated that I quoted those things Iro said on my own initiative, not anyone else's. so, you can stop wondering now: unless you think I'm just saying that.

Who told you "it's all tongue in cheek," and what were they referring to?

Who told you there was no "internal broiling" on this site?

Well, no one with a minimal ounce of good sense makes accusations based on very little information, either. And while I guess it's technically just my "view," it seems pretty damn near a truism, unless you're going to tell me you make judgments regardless of knowledge.

But you don't need to tell me it's my view: I know it's my view. Tell me it isn't yours. The only reason I can think to phrase this the way you have is that you realize it sounds bad to say "I'll make accusations based on very little information if I want to!" so simply saying "it's YOUR view" is a way to seem to dispute it without having to say that.

Yeah, the idea that I'm only arguing because I feel the need to defend another user (one I argue with all the time, by the way) is silly. But even if you think this, I'm not sure why it would preclude you from answering the question.

From what I can tell, calling his complaints "crying" and yours "laughing" is just rhetorical flourish, designed to make one sound worse and the other sound better without establishing any objective, qualitiative difference between the two.

Respecting someone's right to choose something is not the same as affirming whatever choice they make. Believing in free speech, for example, doesn't mean we have to pretend everything everyone says is sensible.

you are misunderstanding,. I made that comment because someone was stating that some else had that someone in Ignore. So the "it's all tongue in cheek" [as if there were no internal broiling as I was told] is not true at all. And that much is evident.

Again, your are misunderstanding. I made that comment because my name was being used by someone I had put in ignore and you stated that I talk about that someone constantly when I don't.

Nothing I said is "inexplicable" I'm being pretty blunt about what is occuring on the ShoutBox,. Unless of course you think that somethings are ok to be said out loud while others not, but then you have yourself a problem I can't help you with.

And no, I wouldn't make observations on your Idiosyncratic Breakfast because it's pretty much irrelevant what you eat, do, dress, and what not. All I can do is respect that you eat, do and dress the way you want to.
