Why is Setanta a Nasty, Self-Deluded Gasbag?

Oh god.
Here we go.
Do we really need this?

apparently

i myself refuse to let anyone bother me to that extent

perhaps the next thread should be

Why Does Snood Allow Himself To Be Goaded By Some Posters

Nah.

I propose an A2K group hug!

I'll hug. But I'll be armed, just in case.

Oh good!

(((((snood)))))

Anyone else wanna hug?

No?

Buncha party poopers!

I'm off to bed then.

Good night!

Or: Why Do We Always Dread This Kind of Thread But Look At Them Anyway?

oh boy, here we go.

people saying they don't need this, but make sure the thread continues by making a comment.

I'll say this.
I don't find set to be nasty, self-deluded, or a gasbag.

But, I've got tough enough skin to know when he jumps on my case it's not personal, or if it is, I don't care.

In fact, I go out of my way to read what he writes, as opposed to the nicey nice, wouldn't say **** if my mouth was full of it, gee we would never want to risk saying anything that has the smallest potenial of being taken the wrong way or making someone sad.

If set has a problem with someone, he says it.

...and, eventually, even participate?

What am I doing here?

When you're driving, do you slow down and crane your neck around for car-wrecks? This is the same sort of gawker-syndrome that applies.

I don't.
And I blow my horn at the drivers in front of me who do.

They are always offended.

What Joe said. Gawking at roadside accidents is, to me, the depth of ghoulish nosiness.

OK. Then I see this as akin to a traffic slowdown that I drive around.

yes, and if you slow down to gape, you will get such a blast of my horn!

What are brakes? Mine are untouched on my car. I'm originally a Boston driver (pedal-to-the-metal).

I was speaking of an observation of OTHER drivers..not moi!

I think this thread is getting off topic...

Chai's comments ftw

sing it, sister

I find Setanta to usually be helpful (if you ask nicely) and his posts to be well-written and informative . Occasionally he can be abrasive and cranky, but he suffers fools for far longer than I care too. He's a thinking man's curmudgeon and an egoistical idiot's worst nightmare. You need a tougher shell, Snood.
