E-nobles turned e-averages

[fridi]

Have you been in a situation where someone you totally thought was the epitome of reason and the eternal voice of composed sensibility, for no apparent motivation other than having a bunch of shits'n'giggles in a hidden corner with their buddies, suddenly goes all stabby-shoot'n'runn-y with you, and essentially (at least temporarily) turns themselves into just another average troll who's got nothing valuable to add but snark, even though they might in fact eventually turn out to be generally on your side of an issue?

We all do have our low moments, I'll give you that. It still doesn't make that any less disappointing, though.

Obviously, if you don't either shut up or put up, you deserve all that's coming to you.

If you're looking for a perfect saint or a robot, you better spend your time for more useful things.

I'm not looking for a saint. I'm looking for some consistency.

Hey, gurl! Your posts are still the bestest!

That's true, but it ain't the point! :p

Meanwhile, when for some reason flaming is deemed to be the only way of making an otherwise potentially valid point, then unfortunately that's hardly conductive to making a case for that point, and that approach better be abandoned. If one is aiming for reason and sensibility, I'm sure they'd be able to remain consistent with that expectation and choose a more, well, reasonable approach.

That's correct - in case flaming has actually occurred.

As they say, mileages may vary.

[luzribeiro.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that.

[luvdovz.livejournal.com]

Some mileages are more relevant than others. A Realpolitik fact.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

It's because a universal mileage only exists in a lab ;)

I go camping and I miss the meat. Alas. Alackaday. Zounds.
