QuoteQuote***You clearly don't belong here, then.
How so?

I was just being a smartass (it's what I do
). Many of the SC "regulars" don't take your approach... yours is refreshing but somewhat atypical. (Of course you belong here... we need more in here. One of the reasons I avoided SC for so long was that I doubted those type of posters exist, they most definitely do and we need more of them).Im not sure but I think I've just been paid a compliment.
Thank you,
Richards.
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Given the choice, I'd rather have real debate than fuck with my opponents.
They call that difference "integrity."

If you imply nice things about me (even in the context of taking a sideways swipe at John
, which was pretty well done, btw), people are going to think we like each other in spite of it all, and that will make them dizzy.

Sorry. It was just a hallucination. Momentary lapse. Won't happen again.

QuoteI feel left out. Only one person has sent me random hate mail in PM. If anyone's going to get that here I'd think it would be me.
But this guy's attack was truly special, I must say.Quality, not quantity, right?
Yeah, quality.
Startling in its timing, I received a message tonight in reference to a post I made in the abortion thread:
"You should have never been a mother. I feel sorry for your kids."
Now, what kind of person does that? I guess I'd best not tell Beck, eh?

SC is a good source of information sometimes and good for a laugh others,
I used to get worked up at first but now i just read for information and sometimes have a stab to get a reaction.
i soon realised the speakers corner is not a representation of world opinion, as i initially thought. it is the same group of (mostly american) nerds with nothing better to do but sit on the computer all night
everyone has an opinion, and everyone is entitled to one. everyone is different. this needs to be respected.

A few years ago I ("Mr. Undecided") was able to engage the opposing US Senatorial candidate in conversation on my doorstep, then inside my apt over sodas, for 90 minutes ... two weeks before he lost the general election and yes it was very close. Politically the right thing to do ... but not my proudest moment, pretty much ewwww to me now. I didn't have the heart to tell him I was working for his opponent.
You can have it good, fast, or cheap: pick two.
Well, Chris,
I have an addendum for you:
SC doesn't get me worked up, but a very poorly constructed poll in the Bonfire managed to get me wired yesterday.
It's a hot topic for me anyway, but because it was skewed in the construction, it sent me into orbit, even to the point of making me a little incoherent in explaining exactly what it was that pissed me off.
So I guess one just never knows when one's sense of calmness will be disrupted.
