I didn’t realize I was either worked up or seething.

Can you show why you believe that to be the case when I don’t?

No, Sam Eagle, if you can’t already see how you sound, no amount of screenshots is going to move the needle.

I’m sorry the rest of us are enjoying this too much right now. But what I do know is that in each and every thread where we are, you will show up to scold us for it!

Apart from the many, many threads where I did no such thing. Most of the threads on the front page right now, for example.

As I keep telling people, there are so many reasons to hate me, so why lie about me?

I guess I just seem to keep finding your posts by accident as I hit these threads.

In all sincerity though, you don’t have to agree that you are being a wet blanket. Just like the CEO shooting, it’s OK for us to feel differently. Sorry I find it so amusing. I’ll sincerely try harder not to point it out going forward.

so why lie about me?

Well, I was too lazy to hunt down a bunch of screenshots, but since you are now calling me a liar, there’s this in my inbox from a couple days ago, but the link doesn’t work so I think you deleted it or it was removed. I suppose this is an easy enough example.

It’s really bugging me
Jesus Christ (expletive, assuming you weren’t actually calling for divine assistance)
Attacking me on the premise that since I asked why you are handwaving away the event I must not understand how capitalism works.

You do seem pretty seething and worked up here. But like all things it’s OK to disagree, and I’m sure you will!

Edit: I mean, I posted a clear joke about the tootsie pop owl, and your reply was “that’s not an answer.” LOL!! This is comedy gold.

These posts are all on the front page right now. Please find where I commented in them. I mean obviously you can’t since you are lying for absolutely no good reason, but I thought I’d bring the receipts since your “evidence” is a single response from three days ago.

Edit: In fact, looking at your comment history, you’ve talked about this subject way more than I have.

Seriously, I can list all kinds of reasons for you to point and laugh at me if you like. Don’t make up new ones when you don’t have to.

I deserve to be laughed at. I even deserve to be hated and before you say you don’t hate me, you should.

I don’t deserve to be lied about. I am not seething because this doesn’t make me even remotely angry, just sad and worried. I do not post in every thread about it either.

Stop lying about me and start hating me for proper reasons. You have no idea what makes me angry and if you want to laugh at me about that, all you have to do is ask.

Because right now, for your information, all you’re doing is making me even more depressed. If that was your goal, I guess congratulations.

I think I have used hyperbole in a way you are interpreting as a lie, and I’m sorry for that!

I’m also sorry for this:

Because right now, for your information, all you’re doing is making me even more depressed. If that was your goal, I guess congratulations.

But it really does feel to me like every time I hit one of these threads, there’s Flying Squid telling us all we’re wrong to feel differently than he does about this. again
