IS IT GETTING MEAN AROUND HERE??

@izzythepush,

Quote:

It's not an American idiom you idiot. 'Don't wash your dirty laundry in public' is British idiom. 'Don't air your dirty laundry in public' is American.

It means to bring into public view things that are normally private, usually also implying that it should be private. That does not apply here, because everything I have said has been in public threads. That idiom would have only worked if you were to know of something that I had till now only said in PM's, but I was provoked into saying it publicly in this thread. You completely misused it.

And furthermore, I make no effort to keep my views on the down low, my entire purpose at A2K is to debate ideas, I always state my opinions as openly and as fully as possible, which is another way that your use of this idiom is a fail.

If your point was to try to look ignorant you did a great job.

You've been keeping certain things a bit quiet of late, to people like Max for instance. You realise most people find such views reprehensible which is why you only admit to them when backed in a corner.

Nice body swerve though, you can't challenge your proven ignorance of this particular idiom so you try to redefine what you meant, and hope nobody else notices.

It's not worth the time to check out, it's kinda my forum can beat up your forum stuff. Just the idea that some simpleton felt the need to call in reinforcements struck me funny. I'm just sorry you thought I meant you.

Izzy, I'm a tad embarrassed because some of my countrymen don't remember that England is older than the US. It's an education thing. You know right, liberal elitists and such.

No no no, one can have his opinions challenged, it can make for a great discussion, but no one is interested in the mess you like to create along with your cronies.
It's counter productive and stupid and grinding every exchange down to a halt.

Then you are not paying attention, for as Engineer says while my style grates on some I am consistently one of the more thoughtful and interesting people around. Blame it on the Zen, we are not encouraged to go down easy, often the most value is gained from taking the hard road, no pain no gain. Those who dismiss me because I am annoying are fools, and of course one of first things we Zennists do is try to separate the fools from the wise because we are practical people who are in a hurry to reach nirvana before we die. I need to learn, and in order to do so I need to find out fast who is worth listening too.

The method to my madness should now be obvious except to the most stupid.

Yeah, quote engineer who isn't around anymore.

You're as delusional as they come. Consistent in your twisted sick mind - yes, interesting and thoughtful - get real. You are one of those dangerous people who should be locked up.

He comes and goes, he is a busy guy who travels and the intolerant assholes here dont agree with him. He was here 8 weeks ago, and I have no information that he is gone. I any case he is a sensible person who is not highly political who has been here for years, his opinion carries weight.

I love Engineer. I strongly hope he isn't gone.

True enough. But that still leaves all the stupid people standing around making silly attacks against you.

Without being hassled by some cretinous gobshite desperate for attention. Who although severely challenged himself, never actually manages to challenge anyone else.

Now it's fixed.
