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

[A Black Falcon]

I should just say 'you clearly don't get it and won't get it so I won't say anything', but I just can't... :)

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.

Given how this arguement came up, ie you didn't know DJ is from Oklahoma (something I had known for a long time) I see absolutely no way to possibly doubt that DJ is telling the truth. None. And its not because I'm naive, its because DJ is one of the online-people who I've talked to a lot... the top three are, I'm sure, you, DJ, and The Biggah... and on the topic of DJ I've had plenty of serious conversations in IM about stuff (gaming often of course).... more than enough to know DJ definitely can be serious... but just doesn't like to debate much of anything. But we've talked about plenty of things without DJ constantly joking... I trust DJ enough to believe it when she says something as certainly as she does in this thread!

So I should always expect everyone I know online to always be lying to me? That's not a good way to go around...

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.

How about if that pie is always being thrown in another (guess who... :D ) neighbor's face, but only sometimes in yours while sometimes they talk with you normally instead of pieing you? That'd be a bit more accurate...

Wait, you think she's serious about you saving the chat transcripts? Who the hell saves chat transcripts??

I do sometimes... when they're long... I've got like 5 or 6 with DJ saved. And some with Biggah, some with Smoke (one of the very few people around here really into PC games and D&D games and stuff...). Some with you. 14 total. :)

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.

*joke removed*

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.

It sounds like DJ to me... with that 'why can't people tell when i'm joking, it seems to obvious to me' thing that she says all the time... :)

It's a joke to express her feelings! That's what she does!

Fine, so you agree with me about it then...

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.

DJ doesn't act that way 100% of the time.

You know, I wish DJ would do this instead of me, obviously... :)
