[MD] Okay then, this is not OFF LIST

[david buchanan]

John said to dave:
really, you're too kind with all this laughable sentiment you present to me.  But you needn't bother.   You're a busy guy and I'm sure you've got more important items on your agenda than setting me straight.  

You don't need to keep repeating yourself.    I understand perfectly that you detect little in me beyond white trash loser, and as far as I'm concerned, that's your loss.  Not mine.  

desist in the off-list chatter, please.  If you have something to say, say it "in public."  Be a man, dave.  None of this whispering behind hands.  I'm not interested.  

jc, the white trash loser


dmb says:

You think it would be more manly of me to comment on your personal problems "in public"? 

I don't get that. The idea was to spare you any unnecessary embarrassment. But if you'd rather give all the MOQers and lurkers and future archive browsers, that's fine with me. In asking for that, I think you're foolishly exposing yourself to ridicule. I think you would have to have a pretty weak sense of personal boundaries and a warped sense of what's intimate and what's public but whatever. It's your moldering school bus, not mine.

I don't mean to be cold, but maybe you ought not use the MD as place for personal confessions. Don't you have friends you can talk to about your personal problems? What did you expect to get by posting such a thing in an internet philosophy forum? And when did I ever pretend to understand you or comprehend you? You seemed be begging for encouragement and consolation and my reply was only half-assed on that score. But it's the begging that's pathetic, not my half-hearted sympathy. If we were friends, you'd be right to feel disappointed. But we're not. You should be glad that nobody used that post to paint you as a white-trash loser, which it practically did all by itself.


Yea, my sad understanding is funny as hell. Glad my pathetic naivete could give you and Lu a good laugh, something to smile broadly about, something to roll your eyes to and something to literally laugh out loud over.


Me thinks thou doest protest too much, in fact quite hysterically and redundantly.
