249225 2004-07-02 19:59:00 Wow. Very intersting.

Well done - how long did that take you to write?

249226 2004-07-03 00:04:00 Give it away KingWave, you are flogging a dead horse, and the same applies to you as well WTF . That last time somebody got into me like that I challenged them to find one post that supported that contention but nothing was forthcoming except another tiresome round of abuse .

I don't use sarcasm (the lowest form of wit) and nor do I belittle . Whenever it appears that my choice of words might have been interpreted less charitably than I intended, I have posted an apology, most recently to beetle .

I don't do put-downs either, but I will do debate, so here is a challenge:

Below are two extra Words FTWE . extracted from the Oxford Dictionary


WFTWE #109a

Belittle:

1- depreciate

2- make small, dwarf

3- disparage, decry, cry down, trivialise, deprecate, denigrate, discredit, put down, run down

WFTWE #109b

Sarcasm:

A bitter or wounding remark, a taunt - especially ironically worded

Sarcastic:

scornful, derisive, ridiculing, sardonic, scathing, caustic, cutting, trenchant, ascerbic, acidic, venomous, poisonous


Find any post by me, directed at another PF1 member, in which I have met any of the criteria above for sarcasm or belittling, post the link and I will aplogise to them . Don't bother linking to posts by any of the unpleasant characters who have been banned from PF1 either, they deserve no apologies from anybody .

If you don't like WFTWE, then don't go there, it is not compulsory

Leave the poor horse to rest in peace .

Cheers

Actually (If you believe everything that Prez Bush/PM Blair say) The oppressed are now either tortured, dead,. or sent to build those weapons of mass destruction.

Oh, far be it from me to detract from your weekly ego-stroke.

All you'll find is I pointed out that your post has quite racist connotations, impling that all Iraqis think about is revenge.

Get real.

249229 2004-07-03 01:38:00 Put up or go away WTF, either you can substantiate your argument or you can't . If the latter then Remember This ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=48403&message=283223&q=wtf#283223" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) your future may depend on it . Professionalism is 75% attitude and 25% ability . Some might say 90/10 .

Seems to me that your approach is if you can't be right, be wrong louder, ruder and more antagonistically than everybody else . Not a career-enhancing approach in my opinion . Abuse and obscenity via acronym is no substitute for a reasoned argument .

Ask yourself this: Would I really like the people who hold my future career in their hands to read some of the threads I have posted on PF1? What might they read into my choice of words and constantly expressed anger?

I could be wrong of course, I admit that, but it doesn't matter to me either way . It is your life and your career, so waste it anyway you like, just don't expect me to lie down and suffer your antics and personal sniping without responding once in a while .

Cheers

As an afterthought, here's a deal:
You ignore my posts, then I'll ignore yours .
Sounds like a fair deal to me .

249230 2004-07-03 01:49:00 I don't normally join in this stupid almost weekly harangue againt Billy's WFTWE, but to say his posting has racist connotations, is to put it very mildy just complete and utter balderdash. Terry Porritt (14)
249231 2004-07-03 02:05:00 Give it a rest Billy T - this sort of imature approach and constant remiinder of your virtues and criticism of others is getting a bit tiresome and invariably results in the thread getting locked.

Why do you see the need to prolong and incite further comments unless you actually enjoy doing so.
Why not just make your point and leave it at that.

249232 2004-07-03 02:21:00 Thanks for your comments Billy, it always helps to have my worth as a person decimated by your insight .

It's curious to see however that the above post is exactly what was described by KingWave, the kind of stealthily veiled belittlement that you seem to love . Also interesting that you elected to pick a topic that you know is extremely personal in the hope that you'd set off fireworks .

After your last attempt at guiding my professional life, a mature person would realise that I want no assistance from you . The joy you seem to take in pointing out the purported flaws that are supposedly going to cripple my professional advancement must be extremely satsifying for you .

Of course some of the people round here that can see through you (such as Jim, KingWave and a few others) can see that all you were trying to do was instigate an argument by picking on what you already know to be a sensitive topic .

If you think that a few posts on an obscure tiny little anonymous message board on the intarweb would affect my career I pity you .

Perhaps reading this thread would help, I pointed out that your comment could easily be considered racist . Why don't you chuck on your I love NY shirt, or your VOTE BUSH hat and pop down to your local Iraqi refugee centre and call them a bunch of longanimites bent on revenge and see what kind of reaction you get, I'll keep an eye on the news .

You took the first step and made it personal by attacking me for what was only apost of opinion . Free speech dude, enjoy it - you seem to get so much out of it .
