Quote: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.
You are extremely naive. The way DJ has been acting in this thread leads me to believe that she's playing you, yet you don't see that. It's like the boy who cried wolf. After never showing any sort of seriousness for so long there's no way I can believe her so soon. You sir, are the stupid one.
Quote: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.../quote]
Oh please, you do that all of the time. You're very inconsitent with your views, for the most part.
[quote]But if he tells you when they are jokes and when they aren't (even afterwards)...
Alright, here's another analogy for you.
Let's say you have a neighbor who always throws pies at you whenever you walk out your door. Every single time you walk out that door that neighbor throws a pie at you and you try to dodge it. Then one day when you're about to walk outside your door he yells at you that he's not going to throw anymore pies, and tries his best to sound sincere. What would you do? Believe him and walk outside calmly, or not trust him and run outside in preparation of a pie attack? I would run away.
You get the idea.
Quote: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.
I'm actually serious most of the time here, since most of my posts are devoted to stupid debates with you. So you are wrong, like always.
Quote: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...
Wait, you think she's serious about you saving the chat transcripts? Who the hell saves chat transcripts??
Quote:Serious and then joking. 'sort of'? There is no 'sort of' there.
Sort of because it sounds just like DJ when she's being fake serious.
Quote: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...
She always says that, even when she knows it's not true.
Quote:Very serious statement followed by a Star Wars joke... which he thought you, of all people, would appreciate...
I appreciated the joke, but didn't believe it to be serious! The way she wrote was too ABF-style serious, which is not in her character. It looked like she was mocking you, sort of.
Quote: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.
It's a joke to express her feelings! That's what she does!
Quote: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...
Like I said before, I'm not as naive as you are! If someone acts a particular way on a consitent basis for an extended period of time, I don't immediately accept it when they do the exact opposite.
