<br>Well, this is the NNNW section, where people who spend most of their time obsessing about music share what little they know about everything else. Tip: Set your expectations [i]low[/i].
[/quote]Some members on this board might read the above statement and think "that Sally, what a cunt she is" .Some will read that statement and think "that Sal, what a dickhead he is".
Since you always seem to have the right (or is that the left)answer ,could you at least tell us which way we should be leaning here . 1/2[:o)][/quote]The nice thing about a virtual environment is that you have a degree of control over the details you reveal. The only thing that should matter is a person's ideas, not his/her gender, race, ethnicity, religion, etc. Once you learn a person's physical or cultural characteristics, you start to treat a person differently than you would otherwise. For example, if Spit revealed he is a balding jewish Italian guy who tips the scales 400+ pounds, who knows-- people might stop telling fat jokes, making mafia references, or making fun of his mother's moustache. Just an example, of course.

Ok fine. If you feel the need to be so private as not to even reveal your gender , well , so be it.
Now if you would excuse me , I have to go now. Mom needs her weekly upper lip trim.

Really! Why is that? I know the physical/cultural characteristics of many of the board members here, and it hasn't changed how I've dealt with any of them. Or, am I wrong (again) without even knowing it oh all seeing eye?

I think that if you know details about people, you feel safe around them & let your guard down, maybe express yourself differently-- more comfortably. For some people that's fine, but I don't necessarily want anyone to know anything other than the words I write. There's really no need for anyone to know anything else. The ability to limit one's identity is a feature of the web, not a bug.

Speaking only for myself, I tend to be harsher on someone if I know they a) are a man who has a wife who looks like a man, b) are a woman who has had breast implants and botox, c) are morbidly obese, or d) are a 50+ year-old frenchman who has nasty ass stringy long hair and wears Smiths t-shirts.

Continually.[/quote]Not really, I don't know or care about your personal crap, just like I don't know whatever issues you had with your father that made you such an authoritarian ass-bag. As much as that might be an entertaining camp-fire story, that's your private shit that you can [i]pay[/i] someone to listen to. Now-- about the things I actually write, I don't [i]presume[/i] them-- I live in an evidence-based reality where I "know" things based on facts. Sometimes I'm wrong, but I always try to get closer to the truth.

As you would have guessed if you were a little quicker on the uptake, the Cult of Motors won't admit just anybody.[/quote]I didn't realize the Honeycomb Hideout was so exclusive. Tell me-- are members required to wear white sheets and hoods to regular meetings, or is that just for night-time maneuvers?

Not really,

Bullshit. You attempt to force feed your dollops of knowledge to those with the misfortune of not sharing your life view. It seems you've run out of Utopian pearls to shower on the rest of us now that you're applying your dubious pigeonholing/analytical skills to my past life. Nice move.

[/quote]

...and you're the [i]only[/i] one to do so, right? If only you could sell your high opinion of yourself to others...

If, as you say, you're armed with such undeniable fact, why take issue with a couple of baiting Internet clowns? Any questioning of your thoughts/values/beliefs sends you into a hissy fit complete with personal attacks: hardly the work of somebody so comfortable in their beliefs.

I hope you stay true to your word and revisit this thread if Obama proves to be nothing more than the product of hype I suspect he is.

The other part of the hype equation is that celebrity is the main narrative peddled by the mainstream media-- the rise, the fall and the (optional) comeback.

Hmmm...so you can be guilty of publishing baseless "facts", yet Motors is to be condemned by you for what you perceive to be the same practice? Very convenient.

The only rattling here is the rattling of the walls of my house due to my laughter every time IT makes another inane post.
