We're friends again, as it's finally been realized by both of us how stupid this is.

[A Black Falcon]

OB1... its amazing that you continue to show how stupid and unobservant (I know I have problems in this category, which is why must be REALLY bad when even I see it...) you are.

First. DJ is being more serious in this thread than usual. Must I repeat that again? DJ is being more serious than usual (for the forum of course). The fact that there are jokes in the serious points only shows that DJ is unable to make serious points on this forum without resorting to humor... not a bad thing, really, just a fact you need to accept...

Now, it sometimes does become a problem, as I have said... DJ always seems to think that its obvious, but in many cases it is not. But, as I have said, DJ always corrects it! And more often than not its clear... usually clearly not serious, but clear.

ABF is the only one siding with you DJ, not the "whole word" as you are trying to convince yourself of. And ABF is siding with you is because he is certifiably insane. It doesn't matter what the topic is, he'll just change his views depending on who he wants to disagree with. You should not be proud to have him on your side because he'll turn around and argue the the complete opposite if he feels like it.

That's just not true and you really should know it... I don't change my positions based on who I want to argue with! I base them on what I see as the facts... just like everyone should...

Okay, I have this teacher, right? He's exactly like this. He jokes ALL the time. Sometimes he tell you a story with a completely straight face and then when you believe him he throws the punchline at you and it turns out that everything he told you was a joke. Then, he'll try to tell you a serious story, but you can't tell if he's really serious or not because he tells jokes all the time!!

But if he tells you when they are jokes and when they aren't (even afterwards)...

Look, ABF totally got what my intentions were in the various quotes of mine. I took extra care to MAKE it plainly obvious. You on the other hand are so afraid of me yelling at you for thinking it's a joke you assume that because a FEW comments were jokes you can't take the whole thing seriously. There's a clear line there. You're nutsburgers!

Oh, and why can YOU say jokes in the middle of your serious stuff and I can't? Should I assume your last post was all a joke because some of it was?

DJ, your last point is great. OB1 does stuff like this all the time too... and I'd say that his stuff is even harder to figure out than yours...

And now we show how OB1 is looking more and more like a total fool with every 'refute' to the obvious.

Look, just because I REALLY live in Oz doesn't mean the evidence doesn't directly point to me living in Okie land OB1!

And actually I'm fairly sure ABF does have transcripts of all my chats with you, since I've had a total of one short conversation with you alone.




Joking. A little bit of seriousness at the end, although it's difficult to tell.

Nope. Its very clear that the first part is a joke and the second part serious. 'A little bit'? Uhh... no, that second section is completely serious...

Oh come on, you've taken my sense of humor and turned it into this weird character description of me just because you don't "get it".

Sort of serious then joking.

Serious and then joking. 'sort of'? There is no 'sort of' there.

I'm fairly sure he's accepted it now and is in a jocular mood, so allow me to say... my spoon is too big...




Serious and joking. Can't be taken seriously because of the joke.

Sorry, but you totally got that one wrong. DJ honestly thought that you were joking about this and thus that it was over... so like DJ does, she made a joke...

Clever OB1, how long did it take you to come up with that one? And, I never intend to actually mislead. I just am very fuzzy. It's YOUR fault if you actually interpret my total lack of any actual statement as info in those cases. I mean, you ARE OB1, you should know more than anyone what it's like to be hazy on a topic Mr. "Your father died a long time ago"!




Barely serious. Joking.

Very serious statement followed by a Star Wars joke... which he thought you, of all people, would appreciate...

Um, I don't think ABF ever said I wasn't adding any jokes. He was just saying I was also being serious and not joking about absolutly everything. You know, the biggest illusion people have about communication often enough is that it's been accomplished . When are we finally going to learn to communicate via pure thought?

All serious. That last part could be considered a joke, or a comment about how frusterated DJ is over your refusal to understand how she communicates... I'd call it the latter, for sure.

You see, ABF? You obviously have a piss-poor memory otherwise I wouldn't have to be explaining all of this to you, but then of course you wouldn't be ABF if you did make sense.

DJ is almost never serious, and since her jokes are supposedly mixed with her seriousness you cannot take anything she says to be really serious, even when she starts arguments. Why do I respond to her sometimes as if she were serious? Because that's the way you play these kinds of games. Either you play along or get bored of it and ignore them.

You of course lack certain key human emotions so you get confused from time to time. One day you'll be frustrated with how you can't tell when she's joking or being serious, and then the next day you'll be defending her "clear and concise line between joking and seriousness". IMO you have a tinge of schizophrenia to you, but I'm no doctor so what do I know. I on the other hand am usually consistent with my point of views and don't simply change them on a whim like you do. I need a reason to change an opinion on something. Nothing here has made me think differently about the way DJ conducts herself at Tendo City. The only thing that has changed is just how crazy I think you are.

Its the very fact that unlike usual DJ is crystal clear in this thread about what is joke and what is not that makes me defend it... I'd never pretend to say that DJ always makes it clear, because its obvious that that is not the case, but IN THIS THREAD DJ is. Very clearly. The only reason you can't see that is because of your standard absolute stubborn way beyond the point of no return refusal to ever accept that your own personal impressions of things are not necessarially accurate...

And, of course, your near-total lack of IM chats with DJ like I have that prove beyond any doubt that DJ is fully capable of being serious when she wants to be. Like here.

Is DJ being serious, usually, when she posts arguements in threads? Often, I have no idea... I guess if it sounds logical I'll take it as truth, but plenty of times that is wrong. I do wish DJ would make it more clear when starting or entering a debate (and making what sound like logical arguements and not just jokes), of course! I definitely wish that DJ would be as clear about what is joke and what is not in other threads as she is being here! It would help a lot...
