Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"I worked in the States a long time ago. I found the mentality of the locals (where I was) to be completely unreasonable and ignorant. I hope their families are all sterile.


I'm assuming you mean these folk? :laugh:

Similar although they wore beanies, oversized winter boots, and lots of plaid.  :laugh:

Gosh, you are so judgemental..



Always so quick to look down at everyone..



Maybe you should not leave your house.


If I never left my house, I wouldn't have adequate reasoning to look down on some people.

I work with Americans who don't know where Vancouver is but I also work with the likes who've won the Nobel Prize so they come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and quality. :laugh:


I get that though I don't hold my breath for the 1-5 percent.

Quote from: "SPECTRE"I am duty bound to make you feel welcome and at home.



No confrontation here. I am your humble servant.



Want another muffin?


"Duty bound"???? Oh I get it, someone has you on a short leash. Would you be so kind as to thank that person for me. ac_hithere



BTW, thanks but no thanks for the muffin. It's not that I don't trust you but it probably has rat poison or some junkie's shared HIV infected needles in it.  ac_biggrin


No, no...not at all.



I have turned over a new leaf. The error of my ways has been highlighted. I see now that my confrontational demeanour is inappropriate, and shall cease and desist in such conduct.



I am under no coercion or undue influence.



Am I, RW?


Okay, have it your way.



 But I can't help but feel that if I let my guard down, you won't hesitate to try to stab me in the eye with an ice pick. :sneaky2:  :laugh3: Old habits and behaviors die hard.



But despite the little voice that is screaming in my head, I will play along.

I don't remember you being all soft and gentle.  I remember you being fun and sexual.  You did always have a kind word though.


You don't remember me that way because that was at the very beginning when I was brand new. Just because you don't remember me that way does not mean what I claim to have been like is untrue.



They are not here to support my claim but posters like Bluey, Glasgo, Schmoozer, Watcher, Salty, etc. could attest to my claim but they are from a bygone era now. cc might remember but she and I did not interact much until later also. I considered them my forum pals and I never clashed with them. They never tried to refute anything I said. I enjoyed the forums then when we interacted. I recall that I met you much later, when I was already in memebee. By then, I had already acquired a band of haters who I had begun to clash with so I was no longer as gentle as I was when I was new.

Don't look at me.  I do not possess such magic.  You are beyond coercion or influence.  Most of the time you are beyond logic and reason as well.



Hahaha

Quote from: "RW"I guess I just remember a different you and I miss her.  I'm not used to a bitchier version.  Don't get me wrong, I adore you either way.



I wasn't ganging up :P. I just made a point about computers.  I am a closet nerd after all.


Don't miss a ghost.  ac_biggrin



I was quite soft, gentle, tender, shy, and self-conscious before. As the years progressed, I evolved. When you put someone soft, gentle, and tender, in an environment for years where they had to learn to toughen up, that soft exterior will one day harden to adjust to its surroundings. Add to the mix some tough real life lessons and that will indeed harden a person, a defense mechanism. That is normal. Everyone does it. Still, the soft inner self is there but it is guarded now. On rare occasions, the guard may be down.


Quote from: "RW"He's the Noah of personal computing.


Finally, you said Babbage is the Noah of personal computing. Are you sure? (No need to respond.) I was saying that Noah was the tool but the ark was God's idea and concept. I never said the Americans invented computers. My message was that the Americans of Apple and Microsoft further developed the computers, improved it to what we use today and I stand by that statement always. My argument was to Spectre's American-bashing and I was merely pointing out that while he was bashing Americans, he was doing so on a computer that Americans developed and improved. That was the irony I was trying to convey. Last but not least, if you say you were not ganging up then please don't respond further to this because this topic is now closed to me and I would not like to add further to it. Remember, I am an older woman and I am already exhausted by this argument. Thanks and have a good day.


I don't remember you being all soft and gentle.  I remember you being fun and sexual.  You did always have a kind word though.



Babbage is considered the "Father" of the personal computer.  I don't know what there is to argue about.  Next time, go with the Internet.  That's an American invention.
